CONVICT BECOMES
WRITER OF TALES
ABOUT CRIMINALS
Under Sentence for Murder
Man Wins Recognition
As an Author.

HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS.-Thomas
F. Whiteside, serving a murder SEN
tence in Texas state prison, is gain
ing recognition as short story writ
er.
Two national magazines have ac-
cepted recent stories by Whiteside
for early publication, prison officials
revealed. Several other of his works
have been published already, and
his earnings from writings within
"The Walls" have passed the $500
mark.
Whiteside, who was sentenced for
the threat" killing of his wife and
once was classed as ''incorrigibles"
finds solace during his loneliest
hours in the experiences of o. Hen
ry, who at one time was prisoner,
and the great writers Of the more
distant past whe served sentences.
"It's so hard to do anything in
stir can't put it on paper, the
atmosphere is so terrible" White
side wrote once stop and think
o. Henry, Cervantes, and all the
rest Of the glorified ex-cons made
good after their release. A man
gets plenty of experiences in here,
but it's hard to click. Bunyan did
it, but he had religion. AS for me,
I've been roasting on the spit for
years and there aren't many angels,
I find, who'll moisten your tongue
with kindness"
Formerly Houston Attorney.
Whiteside formerly was an attor-
ney at Houston.
Shortly after he was "sent up"
Whiteside was transferred to East
ham Farm - the "Alcatraz" re-
served for incorrigibles from other
units of the Texas prison system.
Whiteside first attempted to COM
nit suicide by slashing his throat
with the edge of glass jar.
The baff1ed prisoner then learned
that illiterate prisoners would pay
him Is cents each for letters he
could write for them. In one case
he wrote $50 letters for an old in
mate, to be mailed at weekly inter-
walls. The letters were addressed to
the mans daughter, and were so
worded that, as the daughter grew
older, she finally would understand
the disappearance of her fatherA
His Essay Won Prize.
Whiteside then submitted an es-
say which won third prize offered
by the National Prison congress.
That award brought Whiteside's lit
erary efforts to the attention Of
Prison System Manager o. j. S.
Ellingson, who thought the prisoner
should be encouraged in his craft.
, Whiteside was transferred to Har-
lem Prison farm at Sugarland,
where he was assigned as a teacher
and told he could write in his spare
time. He wrote for the Prison Echo,
publication of the prison system,
and, with the aid of prison print
shop Supt S. H. Barnett, wrote q
story entitled, lone Minute to Mid
night" which he sold to syndicate.
The theme Of the short-short story
was defeat of the criminal.
Within a short time, he also had
sold two more stories to that syn
dictate, two to another syndicate,
and an editorial, Segregation Must
Begin in JAIL" to detective story
magazine.

Traffic Officers
Warn Motorists
And Pedestrians

The following advice Is given to
motorists and pedestrians, by the
Police Safety Bureau OF the De-
troit Police department:
Because OF the high rate OF acci-
dents 10 the pedestrian group It
is necessary at all times for per-
sons on foot 10 exercise the ut
most caution while walking or our
streets.
Seven out OF every ten persons
killed in traffic accidents are walk
ing, and from records in our Acct
dent Prevention Bureau, we find
that five OF these seven were more
careless and negligent than the
drivers who killed them.
Another revelation that has come
TO our attention is that eight out OF
every ten pedestrians killed are
persons who have never had a
drivers license--have never OPP
Grated car-thereby not knowing
the complications arising from the
operation OF ar automobile. They
fall to realize that drivers have 10
watch other motive traffic, traffic
signal lights, and also be careful
not to run down someone who
might run or step In front OF their
vehicle.
Decreased visibility caused by
dusk and darkness ir addition TO
rainy or snowy weather during the
period is the cause for over six
out Of every ten. fatal accidents TO
persons on foot.
Another factor is that persons
over forty-eight years OF age. This
group makes up over sixty per cent
OF our pedestrian fatalities.
$ Summing It all up, n you are
over fofty-five years Of age; II you
have never driven car: IL you
cross streets In careless manner.
then you can rest assured that
sooner or later you will be involv-
ed In a pedestrian accident. Per-
sons on foot should continually re-
member TO cross the streets only
when enough clear distance Is
available. especially is this true at
night when the motorists vision is
reduced so per cent.
AND DRIVERS. whenever me-
cesssry. stop and allow pedestrians
who become confused in traffic, TO
reach the curb in safety.
