Rats With Peculiar Stripe the Result
Of Their Being Uttered In
Z Penitentlary.

Parental influence has been the
study OF scientists for ages, and many
wonderful results have been record
ed, but the most remarkable case
known has come to light in this city.
White rats striped with brown have
been bred at the penitentiary here by
Newton Trusty, convict, and the
association of the rats with convicts
wearing striped colors, the body of
the clothes being white and the stripes
brown. is believed to account for
these freak rats.
Trusty was sent to the penitentiary
years ago for murder. and was to have
served life sentence. Hope Of Sc
curing parole or pardon caused him
to study out some method of making
money while In the prison. and he de-
cided to breed white rats and sell
them. He had been conducting the rat
