CHAPTER 1.
"HE warden's Office in Sing Sing
prison is not a pleasant spot in
which to linger, whether you
may be innocent or whether
guilty of a crime. And no more reas-
surfing could be termed the abrupt,
dominating parsonage who presided
over the dismal destinies of the office
and institution when occurred the
events chronicled in this narrative.
That a man fated by his choice of
ly with criminals Of high and low de-
gree and to come constantly in per-
sonal contact with all the misery and
depravity going to form the life of a
states prison-that a man SO fated
should find exquisite enjoyment in ac-
centuating these depressing conditions
Is surely a contradiction Of what ordi-
narily would be expected. Humans Of
normal mold are generally occupied in
ameliOrating the evils and annoyances
of their surroundings. That is natures
way. Not SO with Warden Handler.
That which is bad can be made to be
worse. Innocence can be shown to be
guilt-with the aid Of trained wit
nesses. Repentance is always insin-
cere, and if it is not it can be made
so. A murderer should be made to re-
member always his ignominy. A thief
should be reminded of his amateurish
clumsiness which led him into the
clutches of the central Office men.
That was Handlers philosophy. That
was Handlers way.
And underlying all his petty oppres-
sion and gross inhumanity was a
cause. deep rooted in a system Of his
own and of a race Of Jail keepers that
went before him. Exposure? Re-
moval? Bah! He had considered all
that. And, If worse came to worse,
had he not friends in the state senate?
Was there not a governor who would
need his assistance in the state con-
vention when it came to a question of
delegates? Clearly the possibility Of
removal was the least Of his worries.
Warden Handler sat at his polished
oak desk In the middle Of his office.
At his left was another desk used by
Smith. his secretary, At his back tho

In other words, even if the packers

that testimony today if they have con-

Apart from it's Importance in the
immediate case, the decision of Judge
Carpenter, who is one of the youngest
and latest appointed judges of the

ingly valuable to the government s

of the past has been utilized to free

permits the invocation of the statute
