SAD TOUCH TO THE CONVICT EVIDENCE -AT TIE "PEN" They Are Known By Number Only During Term In Prison--"I Have No Name While I Am Here," Re- marked One Convict Questioned: One of the most touching scenes in eonnectidn with the Prison.Reform in- vestigation thus far was that of the convicts who to their num- ber just as they were called. When a mun enters the big prison gale and over to the warden for safe br he' sheriff or constable, who has him in chalge, his name is for time being. He is ven a number and hy in until he has served his gate a free man.

His real was then given to the er by ome of the prison the investigation applied.

They serve the Same purpose as names, and are soon Mhown. Oi all the evidence given by convicts that gives by ome convict was out standing. He was questioned as to conditions at the "pen" and made this statement : "The ' convicts themselves make the donditions. I they behave themselves, and do what is right, tha officials will do all in their power to - help them. I try to do what is right, Dat no complaints to make." The evidence of another summed up as follows : "Certainly we are under prison rules and regulations, and as regards to food, it is prison food, all right, but I have no complaint to, make. When I was brought there I did not e to have things the same as I had accustomed to at home." Of the many complaints which were made by convicts, that of the prison garb, and the cropping of the hair, ap ~ pedred to be among the chief objec tions. Of course, there were many who did not appear to care about this, but the majority regarded these two things as the harder blow dealt to them. Another point which has been brought out in the convict evidence is that of the hardship endured by soma in not being abie to secure chewing and smoking tobacco. "It is a hard blow to a man who has been using tobacco all his life," was the way one conviet put it to the commission. Even convicts who had not cultivated the habit had something to say about it, and put up a strong plea on he bali of the conviets who do love to * have a smoke. © r At Plymouth, Mass., the jury in the case against Mrs. Eaton at five o'clock on Tharsday morning, re- turned a verdict of "mot guilty."
