 FATE STACKED" CARDS
 Fate has either stacked the cards against Robert Childress of Mobile county or the law has held a pat hand in the game with him. Childress is back in the state penitentiary today after completing term in the federal prison at Atlanta.
 Childress was convicted of burglary in Mobile county and given seven years in 1914 He went to Banner mines and after serving a few weeks he escaped. He next bobbed up at Lit tie Rock, Ark, where fhe was inn prisoned for stealing a mail pouch. He was convicted and sentenced to five years at Atlanta. His behavior was good during this sentence and he was given his short time. But instead ot being liberated, the convict depart ment Of Ala bama was notified and ho was turned out of the federal prison only to walk into the beckoning arms of Sol Brinsfield, transfer agent for Alabama. He must complete the seven year sentence, as he forfeited his right to short time for good behavior by his escape.
