BY STUART uHTrEHoUsE

I'm proud of my young
friend, Herbert Niccolls.
He's the 10 year old boy
held in the state penitentiary
at Walla Walla. When Herb
was y years old. he shot and
killed a peace officer at Asotin.
He's been behind bars ever
since.
Tries Writing
One hot August day last sum-
mer. | interviewed Herb in the
prison. He had just been grad
uated from high school He was
restless--the weary weight of the
years in prison. and those ahead.
was beginning to tell upon him.
II sometimes find it hard TO use
my time, he told NE.
Why don't you try writing,
Herb I asked him.
Il might. at that" he said.
In today's mail came copy OF
the prison magazine. Agenda.
And in il, as the leading article.
was a piece by Herbert Niccolls.
He calls it "Postoffiee Box 500"
II is a simple, interesting little
piece about that postoffice box.
through which all prison mail
must come.
Touch of Humor
He tells of the JOY brought by
some letters, and the heartbreak
that arrives with others. He
paints poignant picture OF how
the men in the Walled City are
desperate to hear from those they
loved outside.
There is touch of humor in
Herb Niccolls' writing. too-as for
example. when he tells how one
prisoner received a pair of skis
for Christmas while an
other was sent roller skates.
hope Governor Martin will
read the piece that Herb has writ
ten; it would give him a better in
sight into the nature of this boy.
Herb Niccolls' writing is doubt
less an escape from the dread Of
what is going to happen soon
which is that he will necessarily
be turned loose with the main
body of prisoners.
Hopes for Freedom
During the years he has been
kept away from all except espe-
cially selected convicts. Doc Nc
Keown. brilliant former dentist in
Seattle. IL one of those.
