Then there is Ronald True, laugh
ing murderer of Gertrude Yates.
Condemned to death, his mad man
chuckle has laughed him out of hang
ing. He is now confined to an in
sane ward.
He laughed when he was locked up
by the police; he laughed when the
trial judge sentenced him to be hung
by the neck until dead; he laughed
when he was in the cell Of the con-
demned.
81 Told You So''
When he was reprieved and sent
to Broadmoor Asylum he laughed
once more and merely said:
II told you So
At Broadmoor he has been the life
of the party. He has taken part in
amateur theatricals and composed
words and music for rollicking songs
joshing the prison, the keepers and
the government.
Gertrude Yates, beautiful girl
who lived alone in an apartment, was
found brutally beaten to death. She
had been robbed. True was proven
to be one of her closest friends. He
had her stolen jewelry--and was
promptly convicted
He, too, had been an officer in the
army.
There is clear definition in Bri-
tian that person should not be
executed when he is not in a position
to make his peace with God and not
in a mental condition to put forward
any reason why he should not be
hung.
Some day the medical officers may
certify to the government that True
is once more sane--as they believe he
was when he committed the CRIME
and liable to hanging.
The question that will then con-
front the officers is, whether after
True has lived in an asylum for
years shall he be taken out and hung
or have his sentence committed to
life Imprisonment?
In the meantime, True continues
to laugh.
Bailey, the phantom, major" is,
poor, while True, the "laughing
murderer" is we'll connected.
Are their strange plights due as
a result of the war in which they
both served?

Chinaman Is
Model Prisoner
In Ward County

Minot, Jan. S.-Prisoners come and
go at the Ward county Jail but for
the past II months behind the non
bars and heavily screened windows
there has been confined one man
whom officials describe as model"
prisoner.
He is Quong Scng, Chinese, held
by federal authorities on Il charge
of violating the Harrison narcotic
drug act. He asks no questions, re-
quests no favors and his thoughts,
whatever they may be, are never cx-
pressed. He seems contented while
lettering about the corridors of the
Jail, watching what the other prison
ers are doing to amuse themselves,
entertains himself by playing cards.
Outside of this routine he does
nothing except to gaze into space,
wondering, maybe, when the men who
put him behind bars will release him.
He expresses no desire to hear when
he will be brought to trial and al
though he may be innocent of the
crime With. which he is charged he
never expresses bitterness over the
Wong confinement.
Seng came to reside with Jailcr c.
II. Hicks on February Z, 1923. Not
once has he been outside of the Jail
with the exception of five days last
March when he fled from custody
thru an opening in the Jail floor
which had been effected by two other
prisoners.
I During the five days that Scng was
gone authorities were cluelcss as to
his whereabouts. Then early on the
jailer, opening the entrance door in
response to the ringing of the door
bell, was astounded to see the 0,ien-
tai fugitive standing on the doorstep
and signifying a desire to bcS read
mitted to Jail. The jailer complied
with the request without hesitation
ut the same time expressing his
gratitude to Seng for his voluntary
return. Seng grinnril and hurried on
into the cell room and hcaved a sigh
of relief upon ascertaining that no
ether prisoner had been allotted to
the bunk which he had occupied dur
ing his confinement
Just why Seng voluntarily returned
to captivity probably never will be
known by the authorities. They have
questioned him often with particular
reference to this proposition but if
Seng understands what they are talk
ing about he doesn't indicate so by
replying.
