years have worked wonders for Dan
He says so himself
When Dan Maloney first reached the
penitentiary he was, to use his own
expression, "a drunkard, bOoze-fight-
er, and sunk to the lowest depths of
all, blind pigger." But he was COM
pletely reformed. And the reforma.
ton is not surface deep only, but thor
ough. The true lessons and stern
purposes Of life scared into his very
heart. When Maloney reached the
penitentiary he was illiterate and un.
educated. During the long weary
hours in his lonely cell he has learned
to read. He has read many books
and keeps abreast Of the times noting
through the daily papers all that goes
on in the outside world. He is a
good penman and writes an entertain
ing letter. And he has seen enough
of the misery and woe that are caused
by liquor to forever abhor it. Said
he, II would count a man who would
offer me drink of whiskey if ever
gain my freedom the worst enemy !
had"
During his incarceration he has be-
come philosophical. He says that in
a way he is glad he came to the
prison. He entered as worthless
drunkard. Now he has learned to ap-
preciate the better side of life, and
would be steady Industrious citizen.
He said once, my being in prison, if
had not been charged with serious
crime, would have been a God-send,
a blessing; but being here charged
with a serious crime, and knowing !
the stigma and loathing attached to !
such one, robs me of what personal
satisfaction l might feel because of
my reformation.
He does not want ever to leave the
penitentiary with the stain of murder
on his name. He swears that he is
totally innocent of the charge brought
against him, and until that is cleared
away, that he would rather live and
lie within the prison walls. He is
ever hoping that the time will come
when the authorities will see in his
case justice has miscarried and that
Re can leave the institution with a
clean name.
He expressed himself as very we'll
pleased with the treatment he was re-
'eiving. He said that all of the off.
'ers at the penitentiary were good
men, and that Warden Hellstrom was ;
thorough gentleman, a man with a
zig heart, taking a personal interest {
n "tfe boys" and urging them to be. ,

TORECOYER maine BODIES

Enouoh Water Will Be Removed to

Hulk.

Havana. Cuba. - The work of re
rowing the water from the cofferdam
enclosing the wreck of the battleshiE
Maine has been carried to a point low
enough to reveal portions Of the wreck
submerged for thirteen years, includ
iLg a part of the midship section i'm
mediately affected by the explosion
the whole quarter deck and a portion
of the berth deck, in which it is be
lieved lies most OF the bodies.
The water is at the ten foot leve
which will permit the partial explora
ton of the upper part of the after
section from the stern to Immediately
forward of the engine room space
where the explosion severed the for
ward section including the ten inch
turret on the starboard side.
To Test Coferdam.
All this latter portion of the vesse
is submerged many feet in excess OF
the after part and probably will not
be revealed until the dam is complete
ly emptied and a great quantity OF
mud eXcavated. The present intention
Of the board is to permit the water
to remain at the ten foot level possibly
for several days, to make observations
and tests of the cofferdam to deter
mine beyond question its ability TO re
sist the tremendous inward pressure
when completely emptied. Nothing UT
to the present has been observed that
sugge8ts any possibility of insufficient
resistance of the structure.
Col. Patrick said the board be
lieved it quite feasible to separate the
after two-thirds of the ship from
the forward third, severing the parts
shattered by the explosion by the
use of an acetelene blast.
On the completion of the separation
il is intended to dissect the forward
section by acetelene blasts into port,
able fragments, which will be taken
out ~pieCemeal.
After that in default of further or
ders from congress, it is the intention
to build a bulkhead across the real
section, float it out from the dam
bring it alongside a wharf in the har
Dor, make a complete examination and
finally tow it to sea and sink it. 1t is
believed that within a week or ten
days sufficient progress will have been
made to permit the recovery of all the
bodies.
