Stripping Said To Be Dying.

Atlanta, March 9.-According
to reports brought to the capitol,
Thomas Edgar STRIPPING, perhaps
the most famous prisoner in
Georgia, is dying of a broken
heart on the state prison farm at
Milledgeville.
Stripping is serving a life sent
for murder, after many years of
freedom, during which he raised
a family of twelve children. His
present keen sorrow which is
wearing his life away, it is said,
is due to worry over the destitute
condition Of his family.
Knowing that his wife would
be unable to provide for her
large family, STRIPPING has been
failing in health ever since his
apprehension in Virginia for the
old crime committed many years
ago. Recently he has received a
letter from his wife, telling of
the serious illness of his favorite
daughter, Ruth, and that bills
for food and medicine have
reached more than $4,000 and
that she has no money to pay
them.
Ruth Stripping was a baby in
arms when her father effected
his escape from Georgia prison
after being sentenced for life.
She was reared to young woman
hood in another state. She We
engaged to be married when her
f a t h e + was recognized and
apprehended. She declined to
fulfil her engagement to wed,
with the shadow Of disgrace
hanging over her family, and
since that time her own health
has been breaking.
The crime for which STRIPPING
is under sentence was the muir
der Of William Cornet, in Chip
ley, Ca. in 1897. Cornet was
shot to death from ambush,
Through q window Of his own
home, when he was unarmed and
partly undressed, ready to retire
to bed for the night. It is the
circumstances of the murder that
have stood in the way of a par
don or parole for Stripping in
spite of the sympathy which is
felt for his family.

Prisons In Georgia
In Healthy Condition

Atlanta, March 9.-Colonel E.
I. Rainey, OF the prison commits
sion, has just returned from a
tour Of inspection among the
prison camps Of the state. Col.
Rainey reports that as a whole
the camps are not only being well
managed, but that wherever pos
sible continued improvements
are being made and. progressive
methods adopted for the better
care and treatment of the con-
victs.
A large number Of now tents
have been provided recently iii
some of the camps, and in others
the permanent sleeping quarters
have been enlarged and bettered.
The new convict system of
Georgia, which was inaugurated
only a few years ago on the
abolition of the old lease system,
is being gradually but steadily
improved, as guards and officials
gain experience.
The other members of the COM
mission, Commissioners r. E.
Dawson and T. f. Patterson,
have also been travelling extern
sively around the camps this win
ter and their reports are to the
same effect as that Of Colonel
Rainey.
