BELIEVE CONVICT
DIED FROM BLOW
Federal Prison Officials Think
Fellow Prisoner Caused
Old Mans Death.

That the death Of a Cougar Old pTis-
oner al the Federal penitentiary yes
terday afternoon was the result Of a
blow struck by fellow prisoner and
not from heart failure. is the belief of
Warden ". II. Mover and other prison
officials. after an investigation con-
cludcd today An autopsy was made
by Or. j. G. Weaver but he declined
TO make public the findings.
Warden Meyer stated to a Georgian
reporter that lie had made a thorough
Investigation in the death of the pris-
oner and had found that just before
his death he had been struck in the
face by another prisoner. There was
grudge of long standing between the
two men. The warden refused to reveal
the name of the dead man or of the
prisoner accused of striking the blow.
When DIR. Weaver was asked about
the result of the autopsy he declined to
say anything pertaining to the death,
eXcusing himself on the ground that
the prison rules forbade him making
anything public and that all Of his re-
ports must go to the attorney general
at Washington
The death Of the prisoner took place
yesterday afternoon in the kitchen of
the penitentiary. The first intimation
Of his approaching death was when a
guard heard him fall to the kitchen
floor. He was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition and rushed to the hos
hn
Should the autopsy show that death
was the result Of a blow, or in any
way caused by the effects of the blow,
the prisoner under suspicion will be
tried on the charge of manslaughter.

few days later, the returning Golden
State brought her back. She had not

her train home bound. She was very
much interested and greatly enter
both on the train and in the station,
and she certainly had the time of her

to get back home. From what she

Many Visit Their Children.
"Of the feeble old people who travel,
most of them are going from the home
of one child to visit some other child,
some of them going as far as from
New York to California 1t is a very
pathetic thing, that as people grow
older they so often get odd notions
The conductor of one train placed
an old woman in my care who was
travelling from Sacramento. California,
to some place in the east, Kentucky or
Indiana, I don't exactly remember She
had been living in California with a
son. and suddenly took a very strong
notion to so to see a brother that she
had not seen since before the civil
war. The old woman was exceedinly
feeble, and needed a great deal of
help, but bound she was to see her
brother.
Il have sometimes had people SO
very old and feeble that they could
not tell the difference between as rail-
road ticket and a check. What these
people would do without the travellers
aids in the different stations is
great question"
