OFFERS TO RE-ENTER CELL
War Reconstructs Moral Fiber of
Convict-Solder on Parole From
Indiana Institution.

Jeffersonville, Ind.-War has recon-
structed the moral fiber of John
Stuart, even if it has ruined him phys
ically. Stuart was on parole from the
Indiana reformatory in April, 1915,
when the spirit Of adventure led him
to flee to Canada and enlist in the
British army. He served year in
the trenches Of France. He was
wounded once and later suffered a
nervous collapse, from which he is
now recovering in q hospital in Can
ada.
He has written his former instruc-
tor in the reformatory that he has
been brought face to face with death
and, If he dies, wants to die with a
clear conscience. He is willing to
return to the reformatory and serve
whatever time the board decides he
should serve.
