Des Moines, Aug. 15.-Charles Smitch,
the young man who broke from prison
at Anamosa last week, went TO that in
stitution firmly resolved that he would
not stay out his time and confident that
he would escape. To companion in
jail at Marengo he is report to have
said:
We'll, IL they do send me to prison
they'll not keep me there long"
Smitch was a third termer. having
Ripon. Wis. The fact that he was sent
to the reformatory. which by law Is for
first termers only, exposes again the
weakness of the courts and the fact
that no matter how carefully the law
is administered mistakes will happen.
Smitch certainly should not have gone
TO the reformatory, nor should he nave
been out at the quarries where escape
is easier than elsewhere. The fact that
he was sent to Anamosa was contrary
to the spirit OF the law, yet the parole
board nor any one in authority had any
right to change the centence.
Smitchs theft of a team OF horses
was about as open and above board
as we'll could have been imagined. lie
went to the public hitching rack in
Marengo on a Saturday afternoon and
took the best team and buggy he could
pick out. which happened to belong to

He drove the team eastward and by
noon the next day was at Rock Island
where he was arrested.
