ANOTHER CHANCE

Great was my surprise then when
the Commissioner told me that he
had talked to the Governor about
sending me back to the road but
that the Governor felt l had made
good at the new prison and deserved
another chance at freedom, believing
that / had thoroughly learned my
lesson and, would take careful ad-
vantage of any further consideration
shown me. He asked me If / had
a letter from any firm offering me
employment as on previous occasions
/ had many Replying that this
time had been too ashamed to even
communicate with former acquaint-
ances and not even dreaming Of
freedom at that time that | had not
even given such possibility a
thought which I had not. He told
me that he brought a parole war
rant for me with him but it was con-
ditional upon my having employment
to go to.

In the meantime and on the Sun
day preceding my release great was
my surprise when while attending
the regular Sunday movie slide ap
peared on the screen, reading as fol-
lows: ".... the II. II. e. j. Club
extends sincerest wishes for your
success and happiness. Goodbye and
Good Luck" This portrayal of good
wishes and token of friendship deep.
ly touched me and I kept thinking
of same during the entire perform
ance and then and there decided
that if I ever lacked an incentive to
make good, memory Of such brother
1y love in such an environment would
force me to make good. How could
betray the confidence imposed in
me thusly. / asked the inmate
Secretary of the Club il I could keep
the slide and while this is written,
less, than a month after prize this
slide as the very highest of my few
personal effects 1t will ever be an
inspiration to me.

THAT ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

1t was explained that I was to go
out there and, assist in installing the
State Uniform Accounting System
with which had been intimately
acquainted with since its inception
in 1921 when the new Governor
took office. This meant for me
new haven and I welcomed the op-
portunity to make good beyond ex-
pectations so that I could in some
material way show my gratitude for
the consideration that the Governor
and Parole Commissioner had pre-
viously extended to me. I eagerly
awaited the day when I was to be
transferred to the new prison, on a
temporary parole. and when that day
arrived I knew that new and last
ing day was dawning for me.

was the cause of my being brought
from my cell to the mail-room
where in the presence OF the War
den and the Commissioner a plan
was outlined for my Immediate flu

the Governor at that time did not
feel 1t consistent to place me back

SIX MONTHS WORK


For six months / gave to the
work every bit of energy and ability
that / could muster without any
thought of pleasure or personal ben
eft. At the end of this period we
had created record The system
was thoroughly installed through
out the project and representatives
from Lansing complimented us to
the extent that our records were
the most correct and, prompt Of any
other institution in the state. BY
the third of each month we could
get our regular monthly financial
statements into Lansing and by the
tenth the detailed unit cost reports
we're on their way by far eclipsing
any other unit in the state.
A SURPRISING ACHIEVEMENT
With the work and system then
running so smoothly the laborious
and detailed work that I had been
so painstakingly handling became
only matter Of routine and I
could begin to think of matters that
would be Of personal benefit. I had
accomplished my end of the work
and general routine being definite

along indefinitely with ordinary
routine clerks. Plenty of spare
time was then available to me. In
