A CONVICT POET
Frank r. CrelIer Might Be
Given Present for Work.
Application Made for Parole
From LeavenWOrth Prison.

If there was any way by which
convict could receive credit on his
prison sentence by writing poetry,
Frank r. CreHer, a prisoner confined
in the federal penitentiary at Lea
venworth. might receive a Christmas
present in the form of a parole.
Creller is asking for a parole and
he can also write poetry of a nifty
style, if d selection found among his
files can be taken as a sample But
the rare ability displayed along that
line by the prisoner has not been con-
fined to that alone and therein lies
the trouble.
Stealing from an interstate ship
ment at Tucson, Ariz., landed Creller
in the federal prison several years ago,
having been sent up for five years for
that offense. Later he showed his
c1everness by operating a counterfeit
ing machine in prison, but was caught
one day turning out quarters which
resulted in an additional sentence of
a year and five months. Then he was
tried for attempting to burn the peni-
Tertiary but the jury hung.
He Applies for Parole.
It is on account of this record that
Creller's application for a parole at
this time is being opposed by Al F.
Williams, United States district at
torney, althO the latter admits he
found a bit of solid pleasure in read
ing They Can't Do That" which is
supposed to have flowed from Crel-
ler's pen. Here it is:
"THEY CAN'T DO THAT"

right Judge,
For fifteen years or so,
For job pulled by some other gun
With you not in on the know;
And You tell some guy as you leave the
How they framed You and left you flat
Doesn't it make you hoary-eyed 80,
When you're in n lousy filthy cell
In the good old county Jail;
When your mouthpiece tries to shake you
down
For the last cent Of your kale;

Sell the furniture from your flat,
Then the fish-eyed boob you are ceiling
with

When you start to do your jolt in the stir
With the numbers on your back.
And jump and dodge at the yell of the
And walk the narrow track;
And YOU kick because YOU get all the Stun
While the cream goes to the rats
Then some big louise with the brains of a

When I've finished up my bit on earth
And start my jolt in hell,

And shout. They can't do that"
