Convict Sends Letter.
The notice Of this little club and its
noble work. as published in the Rich
mond paper, was read in the far-away
gloomy prison Of San Quentin. in Cali
fornia, by Joe" Moore. And through
the efforts Of lady whose life was
given to good works in the prison cells
and whose home was at San Francis
co, Mr.. Moore wrote B. F. Wissler of
the Sun-Telegram, at Richmond, sub
scribing for the weekly paper for one
year. He also enclosed some itera-
ture of his own writing and a letter,
all OF which was to be sent by Mr..
Wissler to Miss Ruby Kellam of Mil
ton, who appeared prominently in the
little girls club. This letter told how
he admired the object of the club and
that he would in the future send them
a few dollars to help on their good
work. Among the literature was a
little pamphlet containing a poem,
which he. as ]. Wess Moore, had writ
ten, describing his prison life, and the
beloved and frail little wife who had
come to San Quentin to live that she
might be near him and visit him in
prison, and thus comfort him by the
love Of a devoted and faithful wife,
The poem went on to tell how sick
ness had laid its hand upon that wife.
how she had died and left him alone
to bear his burden Of injustice. The
promised money was looked for in
vain, and it was learned that the pri-
son authorities took care of his pen
sion money and refused to let him
have 1t. A letter was addressed to
the lady, who wrote in his behalf from
San Francisco. No reply ever came
from her. and as it was about the time
of the earthquake there, those inter-
ested here thought she might have
persisted at that time.
Brother Makes Inquiry.
The story of the letter and subscrip-
ton for the Richmond paper came to
the knowledge of his brother, Albert,
residing at Greenfield, and inquiry was
made of the local correspondent here,
who related all that was known here.
This led to friends at Dublin taking an
active interest in the matter. A paper
was put into circulation asking the
governor of California to pardon j.
Wess Moore. He was finally released
on parole and went out to establish a
mission home and follow the teach
ings of the little girls club at Milton,
as letter afterwards attested.
A recent letter from Oakland, Cal,
In Cincinnati paper tells how Mr..
Moore went to Oakland, Cal, where
he organized what he named a $50
ciety for the Friendless" and devoted
his energies to the assistance OF ex-
convicts and friendless men like him
