FLEMING WIFE
WILL NOT LET HIM
SEE HIS DAUGHTER
Just Wants to See Baby Once
Again Before He Goes
Away Forever

The wears that must go by before
Martin Fleming can hope to see his
daughter Katherine would not seem
so very. very long even behind the
bars of the Eastern Penitentiary II
only he could he sure that the baby
will not he taught to forget him.
This is what is worrying the youth
full father to-day. Within the next
few days Sheriff Harry c. Wells VIII
take Fleming to Philadelphia to begin
a life sentence in the States prison.
Word of the Pardon Boards action
in committing his sentence from the
death penalty to life imprisonment for
shooting his mother-in-law was taken
to the condemned man in his cell yes
terday by his attorney, William l..
Loeser. whose valiant fight saved the
life of his client. Fleming didn't say
a word. but ConvulsiVely clasped the
hands of his attorney and his brother,
Andrew Fleming, who came down
from Altoona Yesterday. They re-
membered that grip long afterward.
The Last Postcard
And now all that Fleming longs for
is to see his 2-year-old daughter. His
pretty wife steadfastly refuses to per-
NIT him to see the child.
"If only | could see the little thing
before ! go away spoke the father
wistfully. Il don't think anybody
who isn't a father can quite under
stand Just what / feel about ii. She
is SUCH a baby, you know. She was
two years old on Sunday-and I sent
her a card. but | don't know whether
they will let her see 1t. I don't sup
pose it will be worth while to try it
again. I don't know why they couldn' t
let me see her just once-Tll be sat
isfed with once, If I must-before
l go.
His Only Picture
why do YOU know that l haven t
even got picture of her? That is
a regular picture? I've got one that
cut out of the paper" and he showed
a little section of the Telegraph of
nearly year ago containing the face
of his daughter. This was taken at
the time of his trial and the childish
features are almost obliterated from
much handling. But I'm not allowed
even a picture of her. Even If 7 can't
see her. I'd have the picture of her
to take along.
As the Years Go BY
The youngster was only about eight
months old when Fleming was ar
rested. He hasn't seen her since
Furthermore. he fears that as the
years come and go the child may for
get him-or worse. he taught not to
remember him--so that even should
she grow to an age when she might
on her own responsibility visit him in
his cell i'm the Eastern Penitentiary-
she will have forgotten all about him.
And Martin Fleming is only %
years old.
