BOY IN KNEE BREECHES
TAKEN TO PENITENTIAEY

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. THE
smallest and youngest prisoner ever
sent to the Missouri penitentiary
was delivered to Warden Andrae
this morning in the person of Henry
Gibson, of St. Charles county. This
boy, who is barely sixteen years of
age, in knee breeches and weighing
eighty pounds, was convicted or
murder in the second degree and
sentenced to twelve years.
Warden Andrae was surprised
when the boy was turned over to
him and could scarcely credit the
commitment papers. He directed
that the boy be held in the reception
room for prisoners until Gov. Had
ley, through the pardon attorney,
could investigate the case.
1t is expected that the Governor
will order the boy transferred to the
Boonville reform school. The peni-
Tertiary, Warden Andrae said, is not
designated by law for the punfsh-
ment of Juvenile offenders.
