 "Old John," or "the Professor" i" as he was known to the younger prisoners at the Colorado State penitentiary, now lies buried in a pine box on Woodpecker Hill the prison cemetery forgotten by rela- ives if any are living, and ignored by friends.
 He had spent A of his 88 years in the prison and was the oldest inmate both in years and time served. His number was 4,307, whereas present numbers are in
 In good health until two weeks before his death, "Old John" had the run of the prison and spent his time urging discipline to the younger convicts and pointing to his own broken life as evidence that crime never pays.
 An old injury to his toes, which caused their amputation some time ago, began bothering him and he was taken to the prison hospital. Blood poisoning resulted and his left leg was amputated just below the knee. One Sunday morning when he appeared to be recovering. he turned over to go to sleep. His heart failed and he died.
 "Old John" had murdered three men and once was sentenced to die.
 In 1892 when he was g he was prospecting in Fremont County. He quarreled with another proSpector and when the quarrel was over the proSpector was dead, as was spec tator to the shooting.

 | Two years later, on June night, Cox engaged in an argument with Robert Daily, a miner, in a saloon in Cripple Creek, most famous of Colorado's early gold mining towns Daily was shot and killed and des- pite Cox's self defense plea, he was sentenced to life.
 The world moved rapidly ahead while "Old John" served time for his third murder. He saw airplanes fly overhead but never saw one close up. Streets cars were even less familiar to him for he never saw one.
 Since automobiles were used for prison transportation, he had seen that type of conveyance. , "He was a model prisoner" War den Roy Best said. "Old John realized he had wasted his life and tried to convey to the young men coming into the prison that crime, no matter how profitable tempor- arily, never pays in the long run"
 "Old Johns last wish never was granted.
 "It was his wish" said Best, that he might be able to die out side penitentiary walls. But under the circumstances it was impossi- ble to grant that wish. He had asked many times, and been refused par dons. When he became ill there was nothing to do but confine him to the hospital He died there peacefully enough.

pressive figures. Average calls per
