MAN CONFESSES HE
KILLED WIFE WHILE
IN DRUNKEN RAGE

BRIDGEPORT CONN. Oct. %
Mystery surrounding the murder of a
young woman after she had been taken
from her home in this city into the
country near Stratford in an automo-
bile was partially cleared today when
Joseph Bunonona, one of the four men
arrested shortly afteh the woman had
been shot to death, confessed that he
had killed her. Bunonona declared that
the slain woman was his wife and that
he killed her while in drunken rage.
The first theory of the police was
that the young woman, who was known
variously as Rost Bunnis and Rose
White, had been killed to prevent her
revealing the inner workings of white
slave system having headquarters in
Chicago and New York and extending
all over the country, and they are still
working on this theory. despite the
prisoners confession. They say that
she came here recently from Chicago
and that there IS a possibility that she
was followed here for the purpose of
assassination.

planned in his mind
Each Man Has Work.
The Federal prison business works
on the principle of the proverbiaI great
wheel and its so many cogs. Each
man has a niche to fill and the work
of the officials is to see that he fills it
and fits it. An interesting principle of
economics comes in here and the war;
den and his deputy take full advantage
of it. Convict No. 1883 (they don't 60

Then several inventors are busy on

former bank officials are busy studying
out problems of economics and finance.

government buys as raw material:

other personages representing nearly
every profession and business are busy

Wsrdens Are Unarmed.
One thing that the visitor notices par
ticularly is the respect that the pris-
oners have for the warden and the
deputy warden. Told that the governor
of Wyoming, prison reformer, once
said he was not afraid to go entirely
unarmed among the most desperate OF
HIS states prisoners, Deputy Warden
Hawk declared that neither he nor
Warden Meyer ever carried a gun and
that their life-term prisoners. some OF
them murderers, were the most peace
able of all the prisoners.
Former inmates Of the local prison
often write back their appreciation of
good treatment received. and one of
them expressed a unique sentiment re-
Gently when he said; 1.-THE prisoners
behind the bars are not there because
they should be separated from the pub
lie, but because they have been appre-
hended. There are two great divisions
OF the people, the caught and the un-
caught. Men in prisons are in the
former class and men who are not are in
the latter"
