dinner In bis own house to his friend,
NJ. Chauveteau:

the war of 1870, enlisting In an infan-

to see her and received very cool
reception.
II ut once put in an application to be
transferred to the lancers, whose uni

was paid to such request. and l was
doomed to continually appear before

at the other end of the table and
laid:

With a burst Of laughter the men
rose from the table.

after their release from prisons.
Crazed with drink, inmates started
Q fight in the dormitory for the pos
session of a bottle of whisky. Knives
were used, blows struck and men
dubbed with chairs. The scalp of one
man was nearly ripped from his head
Asof Thesen, the giant superintend

fray and stopped the battle.
Inc injured man is Harry Lyons.

stitution. receiving money from pri-
vate individuals and the state. Super
intendent Thesen admitted, however,
that liquor was brought into the
home.
He confessed that there has never
been any effort made to ascertain Ii
the inmates brought liquor into the
dormitory of the institution or carried
concealed weapons.
He said the ex-convicts were all
placed on their honor"
Despite the honor system" the
men lay in their cots and drank whis
ky and flew at each others Threats
like wild beasts when aroused by the
liquor.
The police say that Lyons had the
whisky flask that started the fatal
riot.
Mrs. Thesen was sitting in the Office
Of the home on the first floor, when
Lyons, McMartin and Coons opened
the street door and came into the
building. Mrs. Thesen saw that the
trio were under the influence of liquor
and she notified her husband.
Thesen went upstairs and says he
saw that the three men had gone to
bed. He declares that he was wor
ried, however, and waited for over
an hour listening for ally soancs OF
trouble.
In the meantime young Lyon5, 1T is
said, had secreted the whisky flask
under his pillow McMartin. 1t is said,
asked for drink. Lyons refused him
In q minute three ex-convicts had
leaped on the boy and bore him strug.
Cling to the floor. Curses, groans, dull
thuds and the crash Of falling fur1i.
ture filled the air.
Ex-convicts rushed toward the yor-
ten Of the melee from every part OF
the building. The place was in an up
roar.
Superintendent Thesen, who stands
nix feet two inches, leaped upstairs
four steps at time. He jumped into
the center of the fray, pulling the
combatants apart
In five minutes he had knocked the
last grain of fight out Of the men. He
telcphoned for the police and two men
were arrested. Lyons was hurried to
the hospital
Ex-convicts upon their release from
prison are given employment at the
Institution. Their board bill Is sub
tracted from the wages paid them
This leaves them about so or 60 cents
