Convicted Murderer's Letters
Before Suicide Deny His Guilt

194S, for the shooting of Baltimore
Patrolman Joseph Benedict. but
he was converted to Catholicism
when he was transferred to the
penitentiary death house last
week.
The letter to his family asked
forgiveness for 'the sorrows ano
heartbreaks that I have inflicted
upon you
II am not a common criminal
and tremble not a bit as I stand
upon the brink of destruction and
oblivion. My hand Is steady. My
voice firm for God has given me
the courage necessary for what
must do -.
Il am the equal to any man and
my authority is superior to most
I bow only to God and obey only
His wishes.
80 I die unafraid and con-
tented. and with clear conscience
for I am no murderer"
The note to Prison Guard
Holmes apparently was written to
abso1ve him Of any blame for the
suicide.
You did everything you could
to prevent it (the suicide)," Wood
wrote, but you were no match for
my acuity and alertness and OF
course could not forsee or foretell
the unexpected - .. You could
not avoid it, you or anyone else
because the element of surprise is
great advantage and can achieve
miracles and I used it to my ad-
vantage"

is being made a dumping ground
for prisoners from the House OF
Correction.
Mr.. Oppenheimer said the as
sociation is cooperating in the in
quiry. The association also had
charged that many convicts were
being released from Maryland
prisons with insufficient clothing
and without means Of returning to
their homes If they were outside
