'gnjustice or Error" y. :3 5 Kiss E''

My days are drawing to a close,
and why should l want my freedom,
My freedom is here between these
four walls, here are my friends, those
who have been imprisoned for life.
My hopes and my future are lost, to
die quickly and to rest in an unfin-
ished coffin, thus is the life and hope
of every convict.
"WHY should want freedom? l

The brave carg1er-pigeon struggled
against the heavy wind. Already he
had flown many miles. He was so
exhausted that it seemed his sturdy

and is about to leave the room when
the judge speaks to him thus:

"But where shall I go, now, when

WHERE? WHERE?"

but you must leave the penitentiary
because the law so commands you"
Broken down in body and soul, he
slowly leaves the place.
He recalled the monotony of life of
the past and the uncertainty of the
future, and slowly he assembled the
window of the prison cell, and from
the fifth story he threw himself into
the open space below. A few min
utes later the bruised and bleeding
body, like living corpse, called out:
"Is it on account of mans untruth-
fulness or from judges errors-or
both?"
