The new warden swung into his job with o

He abolished the torturing strait-jacket

method that In the two years he was at Fol-

Two years later he was handed an even

gated the prisoners and before long had sepa-
rated the young fellows from the recidivists.

After practicing law Johnston became inter-
eSted in politics and was elected to the San
Francisco board of supervisors in 1907. Two
years later Senator Hiram johnson, then Gov
ernor of California, drafted him into public
service when he organized the board Of control
and appointed Johnston governor Of the board.
The board chairmans capability in his posi-
tion justified Gov. Johnson's faith. In 1912 the
Governor asked him to take the wardenship
of Folsom Prison.
TVEN at that time Folsom was more or less
l. the prison of "two-time losers" Incorrigible
convicts were sent there rather than San Quen-
tin. There had been riots and instructions.
Somewhat reluctantly, Johnston accepted the
post thereby launching what was to become
brilliant career in penology.
When the new warden arrived at Folsom, he
insisted on interviewing every inmate, with
view to discovering each mans peculiar prob
lem
Making the rounds Johnston came to the
cell of Jake Oppenheimer, Tiger of San Quen-

record and of the most troublesome of
prisoners. That incorrigible refused to talk
with the warden unless he step into the cell
and close the door.
