James White. colored, aged % years,
a twenty-year prisoner at the New
Castle County Workhouse. killed him
self in that institution during the
night. His body, cold in death, was
found hanging in his cell The man
had used the sheet on his bed for a
rope. He tied one end around a pipe
containing electric wires. running
along the ceiling, and making a moose
in the other end, placed It around his
neck. He strangled himself to death.
Not a sound escaped from the man,

ridor to see whether all the prisoners
were out of their cells, at breakfast

from the pipe. He cut down the body.
When it was learned that the man was
dead, the coroner was notified, and

White was a model prisoner and had
enjoyed health, having gained weight
since his Incarceration. He appeared
to be cheerful and the warden is un-

he worried over the long term Of i'm
prisonment he had to serve.
