Brother Popular

His brother, George Whitney, a
J. P. Morgan & Co. partner. is also
a frequent visitor. George, by the
way, is a great favorite with the
turnkeyS who have met him, and
with Principal Keeper Sheehy,
who describes him as "a very nice
gentleman, always cheerful"
Thus far, said Warden LaWes,
Whitney's daughters, Nancy and
Alice, have not visited their father.
The only real social contact
Whitney has had with his fellow
convicts was brought about by his
boyhood fondness for baseball. He
was a star football man at Har-
ward, playing center on the varsity,
and he stroked the crew which
raced the Hudson not far above
Ossining, but it was the diamond
game which was his favorite, and
he captained the Harvard team.
The Washington times., 1939-01-14
Shuns "Rivol"

He is said to shun the only other
inmate who equalled him in social
rank, Ten Brock M. Terhune,
broker, who entered two days after
Whitney. Terhune was sentenced
for $4,000 jewelry theft.
He has never, according to
guards, and the trusty with whom
this reporter talked, indulged in
the usual convict habit of discuss
ing his crime. Not once has he
mentioned his previous life, even
to his associates in Sheehy's
office, confining his conversation
to his work and the affairs of the
prison.
Whitney is sentenced to five to
10 years. With the customary
good behavior allowance, he will
be eligible for release after three
years and four months, which will
expire August IL, 1941.

Prefers Ancient
Cell, Works Late
At Clerk Job

At 1880 p. m. of April IL,
1888, Sing Sings gates closed
on Richard Whitney, tive times
president of the NetD York Stock
Exchange. Since that moment,
his actiuities haze been a myS-
tery to the outside Dorld. What
haze the nine months he has
passed in Americas best EpoDn
penal institution done to one OF
the most poWertM men eUer put
behind bars? Robin Harris,
reporter, spent a day at Sing
Sing to find out. Here is the
answer, the story OF Richard
Whitney, convict No. 94S35.
The Washington times., 1939-01-14
Lots of Mail

AS might be expected, the for
mer head of the Stock Exchange
receives more mail than other
prisoners at Sing Sing. Ironically
most of it bears the letter heads
Of some of Americas leading cor
porations and banks, of WHICH
Whitney was formerly director or
Stockholder.
He resigned his affiliation with
all of them on his conviction, but
much routine mail from them still
comes to him. In one month, it
was learned, he received 40 and so
letters of this kind.
These are read by prison author
tiles and then shown to Whitney,
who accepts them without com
ment. But the letters are becom-
ing more and more infrequent.
Whitney's wife, the former Mrs.
Gertrude Sheldon Sands, visits
him regularly each Tuesday, US

Prison Standards

This baseball activity had much
to do with the respect in which
Whitney is held by other inmates,
but it wasn't really necessary, as
a lifer trusty explained.
The two main m assures by
which a mans station in the
prison civilization are judged by
the other felons are his physical
strength and the amount he stole.
He has the shoulders of a heavy
weight boxer and his total pecula-
tions ran well into the millions.
To the men who are there for
thefting petty sums, this, the
trusty explained, gives huge dis
tinctiOn

PLAYED Baseball

He went out for the school"
team at Sing Sing last spring, the
nine which represented the prison
school, where he was then work
ing on his teaching job, and made
the first base spot, his old position,
with ease. He performed nobly in
the Mutual Welfare League con-
tests. His legs slowed him up bit
in the field, but he was a power at
the plate.
Whitney plainly enjoyed him
self during the games, guards said.
He beamed with joy when the con-
vict rooters, more vociferous than
any Brooklyn Dodger fan, cheered
him with shouts of "Attaboy
Dick" when he smashed out .
The Washington times., 1939-01-14
Poor Facilities

His sanitary and plumbing
facilities consist of one tin bucket.
An iron cot is the sole piece Of
furniture. The cell is so narrow
that he can barely turn around,
and his 6 feet inch almost
Scraped the ceiling.
In summer the cubicle is like a
steam room, and in winter it is
always chill and damp. The num-
ber of prisoners who fall ill there
is high, and it is a tribute to Whit
ney's iron constitution that he has
never had sick Gay in Sing Sing.
His health, in fact, is described
by prison authorities as better
than it was the day he entered.
He has not gained weight, as was
once reported. He has lost about
10 pounds, and now weighs just a
bit more than 200.

"M0rtyr Compiler

Commenting on w hit n e Us
strange desire to remain in his
antiquated cell, Warden LaweE
said he was the only inmate in
Sing Sings modern history who
preferred to stay in the old block
THE new men are always
placed in this wing. 1t accom-
modates 800 men, and the men
leave it in turn.
That is, when the 800th ar
rival comes in after a mans
admittance into the old block,
he is moved to the new cells.
Whitney was supposed to move
about November Is, but he de-
clined.
"The only reason I can as
cribe for this is that, he has de-
veloped a martyrdom complex,
which prisoners frequently ac-
quire, and the other men up
here seem to agree. But Whit
ney has lost none of his fierce
PRIDE"
The Washington times., 1939-01-14

Sheehy, the gigantic, bluff
heavy-handed Irishman for whom
Whitney performs the sort of work
for which Wall Street junior
clerks would receive about SIS
weekly, praised him.
He's taking it like a man,
and for that 1 like him." said
Sheehy. He works harder
than any man ever had in the
office, and he's never asked me
for a favor yet. No, I'll take
that back. He has asked rue if
he could work in the evenings,
too, and he does, usually right
IN to 9 or 9:3O."

there's some that use Richard.
And make that plain" said
Sheehy. There's no 'misters'
in this prison except the au-
thorities."
When Whitney first came in,
the trusty explained, some of the
inmates, as always in the case Of
an important new arrival, made
efforts to curry his favor in the
hope of cadging cigarettes. They
soon ceased, for Whitney, who
once smoked the finest, began the
convict habit of rolling his own,
and still adheres to it.

BY ROBIN HARRIS

Sing Sing Prison, which alters
all men who live behind its grim
walls, some for better, some for
worse, has wrought subtle
change in its most distinguished
inmate, Richard Whitney.
On the surface he is still the
same-proud, austere, aloof and
possessed of boundless. driving
energy. But underneath, where
once was a lust for power which
led him to the Stock Exchange
presidency at the age of Al, his
prison associates will tell you
there is now a burning martyr
complex.
It is so strong that he prefers
to remain in tiny cell in the
prisons old building, built in
1925, when humanity to convicts
was unknown and they ate bread
and water and were punished with
the cato nine tails.
He could have moved last Octo-
ber from this old cell block, which
even Warden Lawes admits is the
worst prison building in the ma
ton, but he asked for permi5.

Remember, while this slogan was being broadcast

But, when it came, the Government was utterly

Andy's successor that, though smart politician,
he could not keep the Democratic party in power
because he and they drifted from principle to
politics"
There was no Acknowledgement in the Presi-
dents little history lecture that General Jackson
had virtually appointed" Martin Van Buren as
his White House successor.
Of course, Little Van" was politician, pre-
cisely as today Jim Farley is a politician but he
was a Jackson politician, and that gave him
halo.
Jackson had appointed him Minister to Eng
land. The Senate rejected the nomination by the
casting vote of John C.. Calhoun, who was am
bilious to be President himself. Jackson blocked
that.
In order to assure the nomination of Van Buren
he advocated that the selection be made by the
national convention and thus this political instt
tuition was born at Baltimore on May 20, 1885.
Van Buren, was nominated and elected. Jackson
had named his successor.
They Seek His Support
CURIOUsLY enough there are few politicians in
~ Washington today who do not believe that Mr.
Roosevelt will either be third-term candidate
himself or that, like Jackson, he will force the
nomination of man Of his own choosing.
In word, the President, it is said, will do that
which Jackson did, and which turned out as the
President processes to believe, very badly.
Why should the President imagine that the re-
suit of dictated nomination would be any less
disastrous in 1910 than it was in 1886? There
are many students of history and politics, indeed
who think it would not be. Yet, every potential
DemocraticNew Deal candidate in Washington
today courts the support of Mr.. Roosevelt.
These lads will take chance on becoming an
other Van Buren and of inheriting. as did Little
Van," something akin to the panic Of 1887.

Winners Worried About Spending


MAYOR LAGUARDIA, of New York, who, I
AVA have been told, is one of the finest mayors
that city has ever had, comes right out and asks
for $915 O00 900 more for relief.
The destructive forces and the winners in this
country seem so worried about all this spending
but after all, things cannot be so bad when the
money in circulation on January runs to an all
time high record of $6851 ,199 s97. or $52.42 for
every person in the United States
The budget may not be balanced, the huge sums
of money may sound appalling, but, remember,
this money is spent on OUR OWN people; it is
circulated in OUR OWN country, and it is much
better to have taxes go higher than to have people
starving.
AS for the absurd cry our President is fostering
a war; it would be criminal and wicked thing if
he did not tell the American people the truth.
Don't let's repeat what in our blindness and ig-
norance, we had to face under President Wilson.
Thank God we have man in the White House
big enough not to fool the people, but who tells
them the truth, regardless of consequences.
