The old negro man, Doe Christ

The old negro man. Doc Christ,
ish jail, is dead. He was buried
last Monday. Though the Il
was his home for about forty
years, he wac not Il prisoner, had
never been locked behind the
bars for any transgression against
law, but he lived there many
years. because on account Of
physical at1liction and poverty he
was forced t. become a ward Of
the parish. Old Doc was blind.
He had room in the residential
part Of the building. He had the
confidence and good will of every
sheriff and keeper of the Jail from
about the year 1919 until his
death. He had lived there so long
that he thought the safety of the
Jail was ia his charge when the
keeper was away. He knew all
their footsteps, and no stranger
could enter the door with
out facing the burly, black
form of Old Doc. At night the
keenness of his hearing enabled
him to hear any unusual sound
from the prisoners quarters, and
it was always faithfully reported.
The Police Jury had always paid
his board, but shortly after the
accession of Sheriff Peterman, the
then Police Jury, in spirit Of
economy, concluded that they
would put him on the pauper list
at So 90 per month only, but
Sheriff Peterman in more gene
rous spirit boarded him for Moth
ing, and every month Doc re-
ceived his warrant for 50 90 over
and above his board which was
given to him by Sheriff peterm an.

able to influence. He then went over
the testimony offered at the trial and
stated that the jury had rendered a
decision in accordance with the law,
for the jurors were unprejudiced.
Judge Beane then went over the
matter and pointed especially to the
fact that witness for the plaintiff
had talked in the jury room before
the jurors against the attorney for the
defendant, which would have a tend
ency to influence a jury. Speaking of
the case in question he stated that
uder the law of this State the horse
was not a gift. The defendant exer-
cised dominion over the horse for the
plaintiff had no right to sell the horse
or give it away. II the plaintiff claim
ed to have the horse by contract, i.
was evident that the minds of the
plaintiff and defendant did not meet
IN the contract Judge Beane stated
that in the case the jury was mistaken
as to fact and as to law. He therefore
ordered that the verdict be set aside
and granted a new trial. which will

the things they have accomplished with
such poor tools in the interest of health
and cleanliness.
1t is thought that the only solution to
the new problem is an entirely new
prison in a different section of the State.
II a new prison Is built it certainly will
be in another section of the State as
the present location of the State penal
institution is far aside from the COM
mon line Of travel and inaccessible to WIS.,
itors and business men.
A new institution will cost from $3.50, COZ
up, 1t Is estimated, and the proposal for
a new prison will be drawn on modern
lines, saving much expense through tIe
efficient methods of the time. New plans
will be used for the work shops and it
is even suggested that a farm be acquir-
ed upon which the prisoners may work
part Of the time under safe guard.
Probably location farther into the State
will be chosen If a new prison is built;
farm in Pittsfield has been pointed out
as an ideal location.
