When Alexander Nisbet took

quite a student OF crimlnology.
He gave orders at the Jail, to as
far as possible, let every prisoner
have something to do-some kind

grounds, which would be suited
to the mans previous occupation.
"One man came near getting
the best of me on the scheme"
the sheriff was explaining to q
bunch OF friends recently. IAN

De Lappe for thirty days.
