William Oaburn Stratton, alias James R. Hoffman, who has spent SB yeara of his life in New Jersey prisons and had just been found guilty of passing a worthless $75 check, looked up in hopeful silence as the jurist slowly read his petition to be allowed to "forget the outside world fbrever." . Jndge Reads Plea. The note read: • •i . . Because I have no friends or anyone who cares if I live or not--and an ex-convict today has no chance to make good without the help of someone on the outside . . . I have always had a good record in prisops, but to come out with only $10 and try to get a job is impossible. Therefore, I'd appreciate a life sentence, for I have no one to miss me, and I oijly have a few years more to go anyway, having been shut up so loitg behind bars that what little sunshine I get is the Order your robber stamps at the few days' liberty I get before I start' drinking and cashing checks." Judge Tumolillo looked down compassionately at the slight man tor a moment and resumed read tag: "I have tried--and I mean tried-pto get honest work in New Jersey, but couldn't. That is why I came to Philadelphia, where I got a job under my own name the same day But was forced to leave the job because of my checks cashed in New. York, having met a man from Newt; York who said, 'Bill, you better leave Philadelphia, as New York knows you are here some place... .* Sanity Test Ordered. "So I think It's best to take a life sentence and forget the outside^ world forever. The only friend I ever had I met her in Philadelphia, but I wasn't even on the level with' her, because I didn't know she was a real true friend, thinking she was like everyone else, out to trick me So I even hurt her by not telling her my past life ... I don't want to be free any more, so do the best you can, as I won't be sore, and I'll be good wherever you send me." Sincere as the man's plea seemed. Judge Tumolillo withheld decision until Stratton could be given a mental examination, since his note mentioned he had twice been in insane asylums. He was first arrested in 1911 as an incorrigible and sent to; a New Jersey reformatory, and ' since -then has been sentenced in -New Jersey 21 times on charges ranging from burglary to impersonating a government officer. river.
