JAIL BARBER CAUGHT
IN REMINISCENT MOOD

When He Shaved Princes
and Paupers.

In the BATH room Of the city jail yes-
terday afternoon and another member OF
the chain gang took the chair TO sub
NIT to n clean shave at the hands of
Razor Jack" Richardson. In all twenty
prisoners were handled by the man whose
deftness in severins whiskers from the
chins of great men and paupers alike
won him the nickname by which he is
known.
JaiIer Richard Beynon ushcrcd the men
in and out OF the presence OF the i'm

years ago. Richardson's mind was turned
to experiences of the past. Though three
score years have graycd the hair OF the
sentences have put the prison pallor in
his cheeks. he proved yesterday that his
shapely fingers had not lost their dett-
ness. Naturally as II he were standing
sgain in place OF resplendent mirrors
and costly fixtures he driftcd into the
entertaining monolosue chara cteristic of
the genus barber. Finding Jailer Bey-
non an interested auditor, he addressed
his remarks 10 the officer waxing more
eloquent as he gained In speed at the
work before him. Something of what
he said follows:
Yes, I've wandered some I've shaved
of Europe in Florida. Then I was
in Frisco In the early days. Lucky
baldwin, can remember now how

say; no. thanks just comb 1T dry"
