SEES HOPE VANISH
WITH BITTER OATH

ATLANTA. Ca. Jan. 29.-Five years
ago a man named William Cox was
brought to the Federal penitentiary
here 20 begin a term Of imprisonment
for forgery Of money orders. He was
regarded as an obdurate criminal
The guards said he was a bad sort.
They had seen his kind before. He
was the sort Of man. they said. who
believed he no longer had a chance.
and no longer cared what came.
But he had few books OF the right
kind thrown in his way: One Sun
day the chaplain had a talk with him.
From then on the man was changed.
He had before been sullen and mo-
rose and the guards had kept a care
full eye on him. He became a model
prisoner. There was hope in his ex-
preston. in his carriage. His express
sion became bright, there was a
smile on his lips.
The books and the chaplain had
showed him that he still had a chance.
He had put the past behind him. He
turned his eyes wholly TO the future.
He was a skillful workman and he
worked hard. He gained every day in
efficiency. Everyone encouraged him.
The prospect was that when his
sentence was concluded he could
earn an excellent salary and live
very useful life.
His whole thought was centered on
the day he would be free. He dream
ed of that II was his one great goal.
Life would begin again then. He
talked Of IL TO the guards when he
was permitted to talk. he whispered
Of It to his fellow-prisOners. Il was
the one day. Monday IL came. He
started from the prison a free man.
and on the outside he was re-arrested.
