FREEDOM is SPURNED
MINNESOTA CONVICT DEcLlNES
ALL PROFFRRs OF RELEASE.
He Is a Man Of Coed Habits and Inn
pulses. Has Considerable Money
Saved, and Could Have Been
Free Long Ago.

Saltwater, NTinn.-The man whom
Dickens wrote about when he visited
America. who refused to leave prison,
has a counterpart in the Minnesota
state prison. Frank Johnson, ''lifer"
in the penitentiary here, declines all
prOffers Of freedom thrust upon him.,
has declined them for ten years. Il
will not go from here; ! intend to die
in prison." he said when offered dis
charge
Johnson is Ga years old; has served
longer than any other "lifer" now in
the prison, his term having begun be-
fore the sentences of the famous
Younger brothers. He has been indifI
ferent and contented while other lifers
clamored for release. The law passed.
in the interest of the Younger broth
ers, which made thirty-fve years the
limit for a life prisoner, brought no
consolation to Johnson.
Johnson came from Sweden and
worked in brick yard in Minneapolis.
Thirty-six years ago, while drinking
he shot to death one of his close,
friends. and for that crime was SEN
fenced on March II, 1876, for murder
in the second degree to life imprison-
ment, having pleaded guilty. The pris-.
on record does not reveal the name Of
the man he killed
Johnson has been a model prisoner
ever since he entered the prisons
doors, and he is in the trusty class. He
Is not required to do heavy work, but
now assists about the engine house as
wiper, His intellect has declined I'M
der long incarceration.
That the prisoner is a man Of good,
impulses and probably the victim OF
mere circumstance is the belief Of the
prison authorities. Warden Wolfer
says that years ago Johnson loaned to
friend funds to send for the friends
sweetheart in the old country. The
young woman came, and was married
to the friend located on a homestead
near Graceville, MINI. She and her
husband have prospered and are now
possessed of considerable property,
Under the law passed in the interest
Of the Younger brothers a few years
ago. thirty-fve years was made the
minimum sentence for a hfe-term per
son. Under that law person serving
twenty-three years, seven months and
eighteen days, with good time allow
ance, may be paroled, upon the action
Of the state board Of parole with the
unanimous consent Of the state board
Of pardons. Johnson has persistently
objected to any movement for his re
lease.
Johnson has more than 81 1928 to his
credit in the state treasury, earnings
for overtime, and the money is accu-
mulating. He has refused the offer Of
a bosom friend near Graceville to
make his home with him and rest the
remainder of his days, an offer made
from gratitude.

NO GRASS ON HIS GRAVE

A strange story comes from Watau-
ga county, North Carolina, just across
the Blue Ridge from east Tennessee.
1t IS told by the editor of a weekly
newspaper. who says that while at
tending a burial in a cemetery recent
ly his attention was called to a grave
entirely bare Of grass and apparently
as hard packed on the surface as the
dirt in a public highway. He was
told this grave confined the dust OF

WILFUL PENELOPE
Fathers Scheme for Keeping the
Old Compact.
BY FRANCIS A. COREY,

Colonel Brady crushed the letter in
official paper of a noted law firm in
the city of New York.
= "Well, we'll" he calculated. st
hadn't thought of that old compact
for ages. It's hard to realize that nv
little Penelope is now grown I'D and
will soon be fitting to another nest"
The colonel sighed. All the sun
shine would go out of his home when
pretty, wilful Penelope left it. She
was the apple of his eye. But the
prospect of one day resigning her to
a young husband was not his chief
trouble. 1t would be like her to love
and wed unwisely! An experience
of eighteen years in trying to guide
her erratic steps had taught him that
opposition made her the more deter
mined to follow her own sweet will
She had tyrannized over him from the
cradle. When it came to clash. his
wishes did not have a feathers weight
with her.
L know perfectly we'll what she
would say to that old agreement. 1
might pick out the best man in the
world for her husband and she would
turn up her saucy little nose at him"
sighed the perplexed father.
Some facts set forth in the letter
he had just received made Penelope's
future very pressing question. It
could no longer be relegated to the
background. He needed to be as willy
as a serpent
A day or two later, he said to her
abruptly. My dear, I'm thinking of
having your portrait painted"
"All right, dad. Any time you
like" she acquiesced. perched upon
