The Judges Sentence

In such surroundings and in such
mood 1T was no wonder that sew
eral days later when / was again
manacled and brought before the
Judge for sentence, that l looked like
tough, being unkempt and unneat
In appearance, surely in disposition
and with absolutely not a single hope
for the future l saw no use in saving
word, what was the use, when the
Judge asked me if / had anything to
say before sentence was passed and
stood up, my mind wondering while
my heart and soul was being unmerci-
lessly flayed by the tongue-lashing
that the judge for the benefit of
society was given me. From his re-
marks the observer would have gath
cred that had been responsible for
all the crime, for all the sins of the
world, and having caught and con-
victed such desperate criminal that
society from then on would be free
from all crime and all sin and for the
good of society i was then sent to the
State prison for fourteen years. ut
might be interesting to note right
here that in this same State and in
the same manner, not one but ten
thousand other unfortunates have had
the same experience and even as
now glance at the paper l see that
society has more crime, more sin. than
ever before).

Fourteen Years Sentence
1t was early in the year of 1917
when a certain benevolent Judge
(from society's viewpoint) sentenced
this writer to fourteen years in a
State prison. At the time it seemed
an eternity, but as l now look back
1T seems as though it was only YES
terday and when l realize that dur
ing this nearly ten years that among
other positions, l have served as
secretary to one warden, handled
sales and orders of prison industry,
secretary and assistant to an execu-
tive highway official, assisted to install
and maintain in new S1O,OOO,OOO
institution being built by the State,
a uniform accounting system and for
which reward / have but recently re-
ceived my freedom, it is no wonder
that the time seems to have fairly
Flew" Then, too, the fact that at
one period and under kind and gen.
erous prison administration | was
permitted to develop and put into
execution an original and unique mail
order scheme, based on service, out
OF which in a period of three years
and operating entirely from a prison
cell that disposed of over S., 900 of
this service, and was featured by
prominent special writer in the Sun
day edition of one of the largest
newspapers in America and sub
sequently written up in several trade
or mail-order magazines, it is then
my belief taken from resume of the
foregoing facts, that while not pro-
fessional nor even much of an anna
teur writer las the editor will no
doubt admit that l have story, a
message, that in its telling might
prove interesting reading to the sub
scriber-a story that in its telling
might prove to be the neuclus from
which some good might result both
from society's viewpoint and that of
either the unfortunate or the de-
hberate criminal.

The Remaining Privilege

was escorted back to the Jail
again and the only remaining priv
llege that had then enjoyed, being
free to walk around in the little omen
enclosure of the ward, was denied me
and was securely locked in a single
gloomy, dirty cell, there to wait till
the next batch of felons was sent to
the State prison--like cattle in a pen
waiting to be slaughtered. Nv wait
was not for long. Soon the cry of
Prison Bound" was heard in our
little world and we were herded to-
gether, again searched, manacled in
pairs and through lead chain in
winch manner we were herded in G.
closed van to the depot and through
special door and gate to the train
and coach that was to take us to our
doom and an eternal doom it seemed
to me. In spite of the impending
darkness fate seemed to be lowering
around and little ray of brightness
seemed to appear around the corner.
The men to whom was manacled. if
you could see through his present
slovenly, unkempt appearance, was a
man OIL some experience in the world
and seemed to have domineering
attitude and noted that something
about him attracted him to the two
special deputies sitting directly op-
posite US.

ADD EL-KRIM ARRIVES.

Slowly his white horse climbed
the side of the ravine guided by a
man OF the local troops who knew
the countryside For over a year
his name has been something of a
terror, something of q mystery to
the men fighting against him, and for
four years he has defied the might
of Spain
We craned forward to have a good
lock at him and the soldiers stand
ing at attention in the ranks behind
General hos, commander of the Mo
roccan division, and Colonel Coroa
peered forward in defiance of dis
cipline to see what manner of man
was this Riffian, who had shown him
self such a redoubtable enemy.
Few men can dismount from
horse with dignity, but he is one of
the exceptions. AS calm as If pay
ing a morning call, he advanced over
pile of stone and past a half-dead
fire toward General hos His bow
was courteous, neither hurried nor
deferential. In minute the two
men were discussing as equals the
business of getting q caravan of
wives and attendants escorted from
Snaoa to the French lines and in
ten minutes the journey south to
Taxa had begun under escort, to the
Taxa which less than year ago his
warriors had almost won and into
which he expected to enter as a
corqueror.
Immediately messages to be
dropped by airmen to the tribes an
nouncing their chiefs surrender
were prepared, and these were scat
tered far and wide today.
While the surrender Of the caids
and tribesmen are continuing there
are indications that the Benz Zerou-
al and Benz Mestaras may continue
a last desperate resistance, but to
al; real purposes the Riffian war is
oyer.
