BOSTON, Oct. 14-Miss Evalyn Alb
bolt first became interested in the
regeneration of ex-convicts through
DR.. Earl E. Dunning, founder of the
Prisoners Relief Society.
Then she became interested partic-
ularly in DR.. Dunning, who served
five years in the Virginia peniten-
tiary for manslaughter and who has
devoted himself since to helping those
who have a prison record to combat.
Now it is announced that DR.. Dun
ming and Miss Abbott. his assistant,
are engaged to be married.
DR.. Dunning shot his uncle in a
quarrel. His struggle to come back"
after a prison term broke down his
health and courage. His own expert
ences prompted him to organize the
relief society, and a large number Of
big employers are cooperating with
him.
No appeals from ~ex-convicts go I'M
needed and many remarkable cases
Of reformation are recorded by the
society.
Jobs have been found for more than
5000 ex-convicts.
Miss Abbott "a been active in a
campaign to raise a million dollars
from a million contributors for relief
work.

the government takes the position it
