GREENE AND GAYNOR
OVER HALF WAY THROUGH.
They Now Have But Sixteen Months
More to Serve.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 22-Greene and
Gaynor, who were convicted of en-
bezzlement in connection with the
Savannah harbor works, are now serv-
ing their term in the Atlanta federal
prison, are looking forward to the
time when they will again be free
men. They were given a sentence of
four years and by reason of good con-
duct this will be reduced to a period OF
three years. AS they began their SEN
fences in January of last year they
have already served a year and eight
months. This leaves them one year
and four months yet to serve. 1t will
be recalled that at the time the men
were sent to prison Col. Gaynor was
in bad health and he was given a
room in the hospital. Under the
careful treatment he received he soon
recovered. On account of the adj
vanced age of both men and their SUI
perior intelligence, they were given
work, it is understood, of a clerical
nature. So far as can be ascertained
they have expressed pleasure at the
kind treatment they have received un-
der Warden Meyer The men have
received very few visitors since their
incarceration.
