Why I Was Sent to PrisonC
it wa tlie invariable cuHtom of
tho night watchman of tho Mer-
cJiunts' and Mechanics7 Hank at Clio
to throw open tho front doors and
raise tho curtains at 7 o'clock each
morning. By that timo all the
stores were open and the streets full
of people. From 7Jsto8ho swept and
dusted , and tho bolls had scarcely
struck the latter hour when the
bank officials began to arrive. Then
the watchman went home , the doors
were closed , and at nine tho bank
was ready for business.
One September morning the cash
ier , teller , and two * of the clerks ar
rived to find the heavy front doors
still closed. Peter , the watchman ,
hacj been in service nine years , and
this was the first time he had over
slept his hour. Tho grocer on one
side and the shoeman on the other
had pounded on the bank doors at a
quarter to 8 , and not receiving finy
response , were certain that some
thing out of the way had occurred.
There were nine of us who. , entered
the bank as the cashier unlocked the
doors. The curtains had not yet
been raised when we knew that rob
bery and murder had taken place.
When we got the full light we saw
Peter lying on his back on the floor
outside of the railing. He was fully
dressed , and had been btruck on tho
back of the head ; and the blow had
crushed in the skull. Tho body was
cold , showing that death had oc
curred some hpurs before.
Further investigation proved that
the door of the vault had baen drilled
and blown open , and that the bank
had been robbed of every dollar of
its cash on hand. Taking th ? loss of
bonds ; stocks , and cash , the aggre
gate was about $80,000 , about half
of which foil upon the bank. Burglar
tools , fuse , a flash of powder , and
other articles were lying about , and
on a desk we found the loaded club
which had dealt Peter his blow.
"When we came to investigate as to
how the robbers had effected an en
trance everybody was at sea. They
could only have come and gone by
the front door. None of the windows
had been raised , the back door was
heavily barred , and the door leading
to the cellar had not been tampered
with.
Peter had no key to the lock of the
front door. He could open it from
the inside , but not from the other.
The cashier and bookkeeper , both
old and trusted men and stockhold
ers , alone had ke3s. He must , we
concluded , haveadmltted'the robbers
to the bank , but the fact of his hav
ing been murdered was proof of his
integrity. Had he put up a job with
them , they would not have finished
him off. He was a sharp , shrewd fel
low , and what excuse they could have
urged to gain admission was beyond
our figuring. Detectives were put to
work on the case , but not the slight
est clue could they jret for weeks. It
seemed as if the robbers had taken
wings as they left the bank. Three
months later two men , who were sus
pected of being "good fellows , " were
arrested at a point 200 miles away ,
and in another State , for stealing-
horse and buggy. In following up
this case to a conviction it was prov
ed that they had arranged to do a
bank in a country town , and that
the rig had been stolen as a part of
the programme. One of the men was
recognized as a person seen in our
town about the Lime of our robbery ,
and the bank people became satisfied
that both of them had a hand in it.
They had no proofs , and the matter
would have been permitted to drop
but for me.
The loss of cash was only about
# 11,000. About § 35,000 in securities
belonged to depositors , and the bal
ance was the loss of the bank. None
of the securities had been negotiated
thus far , and it was my theory
that the robbers had them
securely hidden away some
where. While I could not be
positive that either of the men ar
rested for stealing the horse and
buggy was the party wanted for our
job , two of our citizens were so posi
tive in identifying one of them that I
was ready to chance it. The * bank
had offered a big reward for the ar
rest of tho robbers and murderers ,
and after due deliberation with my
self and several consultations with
friends. I determined on a plan. The
men had been sent to prison for three
years apiece. When arrested they
made a fight , and jburglars'tools were
also found in their possession.
I visited the prison and learned
that one had been assigned to the
boot and shoe department , while tho
other had gone on to the chair works.
I walked through this department
and saw him engaged in chair paint
ing. The two were so widely separ
ated that there was no possibility of
a meeting except in the chapel on a
Sunday. The one in the chair de
partment was the younger by sever
al .years.
One daj * , when I had my plans all
laid , I entered a jewelry store in the
cityirom which the men had been
sentenced and asked to look .at some
watches. A tray of them was set
out , and I grabbed one valued at
§ 40 and ran out. I could have got
clear off as well as not , but my ob
ject was to be arrested. On my ex
amination I pleaded guilty and was
bound over. When the case came to
the higher court a lawyer was as
signed me , and had I worked with
him the jury would have cleared
me. I refused to answer any ques
tions , admitted myg _ uilt , and wasre-
jrardedby some as light in the head.
The jeweller did not desire my con-
vicrjpii , ndjbntomujt impudence I.
shoulfl hav < failwinyray purpos M
verdict of guilt was finally reached , '
and his Honor gave me a year in
prison , though I believe hewasready
to suspend sentence in case I broke
down and promised reform.

When I arrived at theprisonlgavo
my occupation as a chair finisher ,
and , to my great satisfaction , 1 was
assigned to that work , and soon
found myselfalongsido the manlwus
after. Ho was recorded on tho pris
on books us Jordon Hatch , No.
2,180. 1 was down as Charles Mer-
ritt , No. 2,185. Wo wero at least
thirty feet apart for the ilrst three
weeks , and 1 had been there a full
month before wo passed a word.
Then , as wo were carrying some
work to the stock room , 1 got a
chance to growl to him :
"I thought tho horse thieves were
put into tho slop department. "
He gave me a fierce look and grit
ted his teeth , and next timo we pnss-
ed ho whispered :
"And I thought tho cheap-watch
grabbers wero used as kitchen
mops ! "
"Ho knew , then , us I suspected ,
whatl had been sent for. No convict
is in prison a week before his offence
is pretty generally known. As we
passed again I whispered :
"It's a good thinr sometimes to bo
laid bp. "
His 'roply to this was :
"Then don't size me up for a horse
thief , "
Baring the next two weeks , owing
to the illness of one of the finishers ,
'arid the fact that another was par
doned , I got nearer to Hatch , but
while I seemed to be utterly indiffer
ent to him. I several times caught
him looking me over as if interested.
He was very hand } ' , and very tasty
with brush and stencils , and as I
was equally , so it finahycameabout ,
after 1 had been in prison about
three months that we w6rkedside by
side at the same platform. There
was one overseer for fifteen of us , and
we had only to exercise prudence and
discretion to bo able to communicate
in whispers. I carried the idea that
I grabbed tho watch on purpose to
be laid by until the hue and cry over
a big job had died out , and by ab
staining from asking him any ques
tion about his past I gave him no
reason to distrust me.
I had been in prison for. seven
months when I was called to tho of
fice one day to see a friend , one of
the few who were in the plot. He had
called to ask what progress 1 had
made. Upon my return to the shop
Hatch was curious to know what had
passedaudi informedhim thatlhad
got word that a pard of mine who
had been in the big job with.me , but
who had escaped arrest , had con
verted our hidden swag to his own
use and gone to Europe.
"I'd kill him ! " he replied. "My
pard hadn't better try that on me ! "
"But he may. "
"Not this pull. Isn't he here with
me ? "
It was a month before I made an
other move. I then feigned sickness
and got four days in the hospital ,
and when _ I returned to work I had
some news for Hatch. It was to the
effect that another horse thief , whose
name I could not remember , but who
was in the shoo department , had
been receiving the visits of a lawyer ,
who was doubtless seeking to get Kim
a pardon or a new trial.
"The ho is ! " hissed Hatch , jump
ing to the conclusion I hoped he
would.
1 purposely prevented any other
conversation for several days , but it
was plain enough that my shot had
told and that my man was greatly
worried. I pretended to have no in
terest in the matter , and one day
when opportunitj' offered he ob
served :
"I'd give a thousand dollai's to
get a letter out of here to a cer
tain party. "
"Better not try it , " I briefly re
plied , and let him worry again for a
week.
It so happened then that I was de
tailed , to the yard for a couple of
days to assist in repiling * some lum
ber , and when I returned 1 had some
gossip for Hatch. It was to the ef
fect that the Governor was being-
worked for a pardon for one of the
shoe men , and it was reported that
the lawyer who had the case in hand
was to get § 10,000 if he was success
ful. I could not give his name , not
having heard it , but ventured the
opinion that the man must have rich
relatives at work for him.
"Bich ! " ho replied. "He's sell
ing some one out on tho quiet ! "
It was a week before anything
further was said. I had saved my
good time and was almost ready to
go. Four dajTs before I was granted
my liberty Hatch handed me a piece
of paper on which he had written
about a dozen figures and as many
letters of the alphabet , and said :
"It is to my mother. She will im-
derstand it. If you can get this out
with you and mail it to the address
on the back enclosing your own ad
dress , 3ou will receive at least § 1.01 0
within a week. That shoe man is my
pard. If he is working the Governor
it is to beat me. I'll take the chances
of trusting you. We were in a big
diamond robbery in London last
year , andjhe swag issecretfed in New
York. If this gets to the old woman
she will put it in a safe place. "
"But the address is Chicago , " I
said as I got a look at it.
"That's all right ; she'll under
stand , " he said.
I had a sore finger , and I carried
the note out hidden in the rag wrap
ped around the digit. I went straight
to Clio , put the paper in the hands of
the bank officers and detectives , and
after working over the cipher fcr
threo days we were no wiser than at
first. The address was , "Mrs. Ann
Walsh , Chicago , HI. , and on the
second day * after our arrival in Chi
cago a woman dressed in mourning
called at the ladies' window and in
quired for the name. We followed her
to a saloon and restaurant
on State street and dis
covered that she kept house
up stairs , while her son , ayoungman
of about 25 , ran the business below.
The place was looked upon by the
Chicago police as suspicious , and
with tlieir aid a search warrant was
procured and a search made. In a
tin box in an old trunk in the great
we found the pecurities stolen from
the.bank atvXjliq. , Jordan Hatch's
right nan s illflValh inl tE $ ,
woman was ffisnVotherandtueyoung *
man was his brother. Both claimed
entire ignorance of the securities ,
proving that Billy had the run of the
house when home and that fee he.d

every opportunity to bring home and
conceal stuff. It ; was not until after
their acquittal that we found tho key
to tho cipher. The note then read :
"Put the swag in a safe placo at
once. Don't reply to this. "
Hatch had promised me a thou
sand dollars , but he did not mean 1
should get it. Mother and son both
know ho was in prison , but were
afraid to visit him for fear of being
suspected of having tho securities.
Upon leaving prison the men wero
tried for murder and robliery. They
admitted the robbery , but denied the
murder. They explained that they
knocked on the bank doors , and told
Peter thathiswife was dying. In
his confusion he opened tho door and
both pushed in , and as he staggered
back lie fell and hit his head on the
tile floor. It had been so long since
the murder that their lawyers had
made such a plausible theory that
they wero acquitted of murder though
doubtless guilty , and sent for fifteen
years apiece on the other charge.
Silent men , .
Mengreatindeeds are often taciturn.
Does their taciturnity arise from the
diffidence which fears lest words
should exceed deeds , or from a con
viction that safety is promoted by si
lence ? Washington's reserve mado
him stiff , formal and ill at case in
company , but it also prevented his
plans from being betrayed to an ene
my , and the country from being de
ceived by his promises.
William tho Silent was frugal ol
wordsbecause a reserve that conceal
ed his designseven from those acting
with him , was necessary to the inde
pendence of the Netherlands.
A writer in Leisure Hour says that
the most dramatic of silent men
was Wallenstoin , the antagonist of
Gustavus Adolphus , and the com
mander of the emperor's armies in the
Thirty Years'War. He insisted that
the deepest silence should reign
around him. His officers took care
that no loud conversation should dis
turb their general. They knew that n
chamberlain had been hanged for
waking him without orders and that
tin officer who would wear clanking
spurs in the commander's presence
had been secretly put to death.
In the rooms of his palace the ser
vants glided as if phantoms , and a
dozen sentinels moved around his
tent charged to secure the silence the
general demanded. Chains were
stretched across the streets in
order to guard him against
the disturbance of sounds.
Wallenstien's 'taciturnity which
made him shun speech , and his love
of silence that caused him to be irri
tated at the slightest noise , were due
to his constitutional temperment.
He never smiled , he never asked ad
vice from any one , and he could not
endure to be gazed at , even when giv
ing an order. The soldiers , when he
crossed the camp , pretended not to
see him , knowing thata curious look
would bring' > them punishment.

The Elizabethan Age.
The circumstances of the Elizabeth
an age favored unity of style. The
language , to begin with had recently
been remade underthe influence of
new ideals and new educational sys
tems. Far more than lapse of years
and wastes of desolating warfare
separated Sixteenth century English
from the speech of Chaucer. The
spirit itself which shapes language to '
the use of mind had changed through J
the action of quickening conceptions
and powerfully excited energies. And
to this chauge in the spirit the race
was eagerly responsive ? In a certain
way all writers felt the Bible Greece ,
Rome , Italy , France , Germanall ;
strove to be in tune with the new
learning. At the same time criticism
was hardly in its cradle ; will you find
a trace of it in Johnson , Bacon , Sei
dell. Camden : but it does not touch
the general. The people were any
thing but analytical , and poetry
issued from the very peoplesheart , as
melody from the strings of the vi
oloncello. The spontaneity which
we have already noted as a main
mark of the Elizabethan utterance
led thus to unity of style. The way
in which classical masterpieces were
then studied conducted to the same
result. Those perennial sources of
style were enjoyed in their entirely ,
absorbed , assimilated , reproduced
with freedom. They were not closely
scrutinized , examined with themicro-
scope , studied with the view of empha
sizing this or that peculiarity a sin
gle critic found in them. And the
same holds good about contempo
rary foreign literatures. Everything
which these literatures contained was
grist for the English mill ; not models
to bo copied , but stuff to be used.

A Champion Tramp.
- The championtramp .would seem
to be one Folkers , whom the San
Francisco Chronicle recently inter
viewed. He belongs to Portland ,
Me. , and is a shoemaker by trade.
For ten years he has been roaming
the country , and he declares that
not once during this time has he
jaid a railroad fare , though on all
lis trips he patronized the "iron
mrse. " He says he has a craze
for traveling , which seems very
evident from his statement that he
rides about twenty thousand miles a
vear. Altogether he has traveled
about 200,000 miles. At the
close of 1888 , while in Pittsburg , he
resolved to visit Florida , but chang
ing his mind he went to New Orleans ,
and after lingering there a week he
started off again , reaching San Fran
cisco ten days ago , making excepti
onally good time considering his
style of traveling.

Great Hnln fttnrHin *
In n invcatiijfttion of pno Immlroil
and six cfiBps of ruin fall ran < riii from
nino to twelve inches in eight 'hour * .
Prot B. LoomiH lins found Hio nreu of
ono inch rainfall to havo extended at
] eiHt fiOO miles iu leozth in ten cn.se * ,
and to havo exceeded 700 in three cases ;
whilo tho entire rain area was frequently
an oval fignro exceeding 1,000 in length
and COO miles in 'breadth. Concerning
tlieso heavy raiiiH tho following facta
.eein woll established : 1. No great
barometric depression with Hteop gra
dients ever occurs withont considerable
rain. This ia true not only for tho Uni
ted StateB , but also for tho cyclones of
tlio West indies , tho China Kea , India
and tlio Bay of Bengal. 2. In great
rainstorms tho barometric pressure
generally diminishes while tho rainfall
increases. 0. Tho greatest depression
of tho barometer generally occurs about
twelve hours after the greatest rainfall.
4. A great fall of rain iB favorable to a
rapid progress of tho center of least
pressure , while a small rainfall is gen
