Bostic was able to get parole
due to tho fact that Warden Joseph

Warden Terrill was interested in
getting Bostic a conditional par.

letter the warden set forth the
facts that Bostlc was a higher type
OF Italian than many Of the other
inmates Of the prison; that two
days after he reached the state In.
stitutton he had been placed at
work on the prison farm and that
he had been an exceptional pris-
