I BEtHND MINNESOTA PRISON WALLS, f „frAA, AA A A A A A A.A^ A^ AA^A A^-A^A^^, Special to the Globe. STILLWATER, Minn., Dec. 26.— The Minnesota state prison, with its cold, cheerless, stone walls, presents any thing but an inviting appearance, espe cially on a cold winter's day, when nature, robed in a mantle of white, hides every thin g around it excepting the massive walls and large iron gates. On the outside there is little sign of life and activity, excepting the guard neir the main- gate, who passes to and fro, Intern upon seeing that no one goes in or out who is not entitled to the privilege, but on the inside there is a remarkable scene of activity, hun dreds of convicts, some who are doomed to stay there the rest of their natural lives, being busily engaged in the manu facture of shoes and twine. The shops are bee hives of enterprise, and were it not for the din and noise of the machinery perfect quiet would reign, for each shop has a guard, and it is his duty to see that the inmates make no more noise than is necessary. The prison population now numbers nearly 600, and among so many desperate characters one would naturally expect many deviations from the paths of rectitude and violations of the prison rules and regulations, but the writer, who enjoys the privilege of going in and out of the prison and shops at will, MINNESOTA STATE PRISON, STILLWATEII. has frequently discovered that whole weeks elapse without a single viola tion of the rules so flagrant that the violator would be sent to the solitary. Under the able management of War den Wolfer and his assistants, Dep uty Warden F. H. Lemon and Assist ant Deputy Warden John S. Glennon, the Minnesota prison has become the model penal institution of this coun try, and the discipline is wonderful, when the character of a large per centage of the inmates is taken into consideration. There are those in the Minnesota prison, as past experiences have shown, who have absolutely no regard for human life, and who would just as soon kill a human being as they would rob a mosquito of its life, but still these desperate characters cause the management little uneasi ness, for they go about their work fully cognizant of the fact that it Is easier and better for them to behave than it is to cause the management trou ble. The discipline may be said to be perfect, and it is largely because of the introduction of our grading and parole system. The grading system enables each in mate to earn credit marks and certain privileges, and, no matter how desper ate a man may be, he always likes to enjoy himself as well as possible. A convict in the first grade receives more privileges than a convict in the second grade, while those in the third grade have practically no privileges. In the i third grade they are not allowed to | receive or write letters. All papers arte taken from them, together with to- j bacco, etc., and "one of the worst fea tores is that they are not allowed to '• eat their meals in the prison dining ! room, but must take their plain food to ' their cells. The number of third grade men varies from ten to twenty, but once in the third grade an inmate does I all in his power to regain his grade standing. The parole system has also been an ! Important factor in building up the dis cipline of the institution, for the rules provide that only first tenners who are in the first grade are eligible to parole bince the parole system was inaugu rated in July, 1892, 177 paroles have been granted and only a few of th\se ' have been violated. Nearly all who have violated their paroles were re- I turned to the institution to serve long sentences, and many regret that they attempted to violate the law after the warden and board of managers had placed enough confidence in them to \ give them their liberty. Only one in- i mate who violated his parole has man- ! aged to elude the vigilant eve of the ; officers and is still at large," while a ! second one was recaptured at Ana conda, Mont., on Thursday. The parole system is also a humane way of treat ing convicts who in moments of j thoughtlessness have started out upon lives of crime, and many have been re claimed from paths of sin and are lead- ! ing honest and upright lives in various, i paTtf- of this and other states. The prison and yard is a little city in itself, situated as it is in a small hol low. The yard is small, but the shops are large and roomy, and the cell house affords accommodations for about 600 prisoners. A few years ago an un sightly paint shop stood in the south west corner of the yard, but was des troyed by fire, and the ground upon which it stood has been converted into a summer garden, where inmates who are too ill to work and not ill enough to remain in the hospital are permitted to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. The garden is studded with flower beds and in the center there is a large fountain. Trees have been planted in the garden and will some day afford Shady nooks. The hospital, which is still situated In the west end of the yard, is one of the coziest hospitals in the state. It is light and airy and- is equipped with all modern surgical appliances. The prison physician visits the institution once a day, but the hospital steward is always present to minister to those in need of his services. _ The large cell house is under the per sonal supervision of Keeper Alexander, and visitors are usually struck by its cleanliness. He has a large number of convicts under him who scour and scrub from morning until night, day out and day in, and they manage to keep the halls and cells as clean as a parlor. Going from the cell room a visitor is led to the shoe shops, where 200 con victs are busy as bees manufacturing boots and shoes. The shops are sup plied with modern machinery, and the convicts take a great interest in the work, largely because it enables some of them to learn trades where they can earn a good livelihood when they re gain their freedom. The next shops visited are the twine shops, where 160 com lsts are engaged in twine manufacture. The factory has a capacity of a little more than 10,000 pounds per day, and its output has been a boon to the farmers of this state, as it enables them to secure their twine at actual cost. The fiber break ers are on the lower floor and all the finishing machinery on the upper floor. While the inmates engaged in twine manufacture are not enabled to learn trades which will be of much use to them in future life, it gives them an opportunity to keep their minds and bodies engaged. Leaving the shops and factories, a visitor is often struck by the faces one has so often seen in the prison. Many are there who have served many years, and among those who have served the longest terms are Coleman and Jameo Younger, who were received Nov. 30, 1876, to serve life sentences for participating In the bank robbery and murder of the bank cashier at North field. They are not desperate looking criminals, and are considered among the best inmates of the institution. Coleman, who is now fifty-two years of age, occupies the position of head nurse in the hospital, and has seldom, if ever, been reported for an infraction of the rules. James Younger is postmaster and librarian and is also a model pris oner. Robert Younger, who was re ceived at the prison with his brothers, died of consumption, Sept. 16, 1889. Cole and Jim, as they are familiarly called, do considerable reading and studying, and the educations they have have been acquired in the prison. They have not given up all hope of getting out and expect to be released some day. One of the most dangerous inmates of the institution is Mike Brennan, sent to the prison from Duiuth to serve a life sentence for murder. Bren nan is criminally insane, and, since he attempted the life of a fellow convict a year ago, he has been kept in the solitary. Recently an enclosure was erected west of the solitary, where Brennan and another convict of the same ilk are permitted to receive need ed exercise. Brennan is treacherous and is carefully handled and guarded. He is the fellow who was sent from the prison to the insane asylum at St. Peter and managed to escape. He was recaptured in New Orleans. Prior to Warden Wolfer's arrival at the prison, a number of escapes were effected, but nearly all of those who were fortunate to reach the open air were recaptured. Warden Wolfer has been in harness for many years and has seen all phases of prison life, and when asked by a Globe representa tive, a few days ago, if he recalled any desperate attempts at escape from prisons in which he had labored, he replied: "Do I recall any escapes or attempt at escapes from prisons that are note worthy? Yes, several of them. One of the best planned and most ingeniously executed escapes that has ever occurred | during my prison experience is one that j took place in the Illinois State Peni tentiary at Joilet, Illinois, In 1876. A I prisoner by the name of James D. Pad- | dock was committed to that prison for I eight and one-half years from Chicago. I He. was a keen, wiry, bright-eyed young j man about thirty years of age. The prison was so crowded at that time, that two prisoners occupied each cell. This man, together with Edward Bar rett, another keen Chicago crook, oc cupied one of the cells in the largest cell-house, which contained six hund red cells. Each cell corridor contained fifty cells. They occupied a cell on the lower outer corridor, being about ten cells removed from a tower at the low er end of the cell house. Both prisoners were working in the shoe shop. Pad dock, through the use of a small spirit lamp that he used to heat his burnish- ] ing irons for burnishing the heels and ; shanks of shoes, tempered several case i knives that he managed to secure ! through different channels. The blades of the knives were of soft steel. With the assistance of a small file he made i fine saws out of these knives and ter- j pered them over his spirit lamp. After having prepared his tools, he commenc ed his work on the cell door. It was afterwards ascertained that it took him nearly three months after the time he commenced before he made his escape. He was assisted by his cell mate. The cell door was painted with black as phaltum, which closely resembled ma terial used for burnishing shoes. After cutting off a bar he would slip a piece of leather into the space made by the saw and then neatly cover it with shoe burnishing material, and thus hide all trace of the work. After cutting off five bars of his cell door, he waited his op portunity to bribe one of the waiters in the cell-house to obtain an impression of the key to a lock on the door lead ing into the tower. By dint of long perserverance, he Anally got the im pression, the tower being used as a receptacle for soap, mops, brooms, etc. During all of this time, and whenever at work, he made use of an ingeniously | contrived ratchet containing three small I mirrors, which were adjusted to an arm with three elbows similar to a gas fix ; ture. He would use these small mir rors so as to reflect in each other, throwing them out from his cell door. In this way he would be able to look the whole length of the ..corridor both ways, and upwards at the same time, the scope taking in that whole side of ! the cell-house. In this way he was : able to keep track of the movements of the officers on duty, and whenever the officer would pass around the block on the other side, he would work until he reappeared. When everything was ready, one dark rainy night, he removed \ the bars from his door, having first obstructed a dummy resembling a man in his bed, passed out on the cor ! ridor, replaced the bars, slipped down ; to the tower, unlocked the door and ; entered. Once in there al! that remain j ed between him and liberty, was to I saw off a large iron bar in a small nar j row window. This took him "nearly j three hours, but he accomplished his I work, let himself down to the ground i with a cord which he had procured, j and was once more a free man, but before leaving the tower, with an evi dent desire to impress the authorities with the fact that he was well equip ped for the work he had accomplished, he stuck up and down the casings of the window out of which he escaped, six finely made saws which he bad not found it necessary to use, these having ! been held by him in reserve. He liter | ally cut himself out through a forest of | iron bars and while good discipline and careful attention /to all conditions of I safety were observed. This is the only I prisoners! h»r»aw«r.known in my prls j otft^ experience ita -escape under such difficulties. He had his liberty only THE S^INT PAUL GLOBE, SUNDA^r BECEMBER 27, 180 S. four months, when he was recaptured, and served out the balance of his term. "A female prisoner, also in the same prison, made a very bold and desper ate attempt at escape, which came near resulting fatally to her some time In 1878. Her name was Mary Hatfield. She was committed for only two years. Her man having been previously com mitted for a term of five years, his term of imprisonment expired about six months after her commitment. He was allowed an interview with the woman on the day of his discharge on the pretense that he was her husband. The woman was noticed to become very uneasy and restless after he left. This continued during the day, and in the evening she became very insolent and ■> rebellious. She was placed in punishment in a tower which was used for a solitary or a punishment oell, this being on the fifth floor of the adminis tration building, where the female prison was located. With the use of a saw that her man had slipped to her during the interview, she cut one of the bars supposed by her to be located immediately over the roof of the cell house. She had miscalculated her window, however, and had taken one several feet outside of the line of the inner coping of the cell house roof. She then tore up her blankets and made a rope, estimating its length suf ficient to let her down on the roof. It was a dark, cloudy, windy night. The writer, while passing through the ceil block that night, heard the cry of a female voice, and, on passing out into the prison yard, found a woman lying insensible beside the building. Having miscalculated her location she came down about six feet from the cell house roof, the wind blowing in the direction from the cell house, blew her around the tower and away from the roof, making it Impossible for her to reach that building, and left her suspended on the end of the rope 100 £eet from the ground. She did not have strength to draw herself back, and •^when ex hausted fell to the ground, breaking one of her hips, her collar bone and one arm, and otherwise injuring her internally, making her a cripple for life. It ls needless to say that she did not again attempt to escape. "Another clever plan to escape, which was successful in letting out eight prisoners, occurred early in the seventies in the same prison. A new wall guard came on duty. At that time it was customary to pass through the prison yard, open an iron door at the bottom of the tower, pass through and relock, going up a pair of stairs to the top of the wall, the guard house and walk being on the level with the top of the wall and around the inner angle of the tower. A desperate char acter, whose name I have now forgot ten, conceived a plan of impersonating an officer and taking possession of the fort. He secured a cap, coat and pants of one of the guards by some means, dressed himself up, presented himself at the door of the tower below, and called to the gaurd to let down the key, as he wished to relieve him, as the deputy warden had instructed him to relieve him and to tell him, the guard, that he was wanted to assist in guarding one of the shops inside of the prison. The greenhorn complied with the request, let the key down to him, and the prisoner entered the tower, took the guard's gun, the guard passed out into the yard, and returned the key by the means of a rope with a small hook let down from above. While the guard was looking for the deputy warden, the prisoner who had assumed the guard's attire, let in' seven other prisoners. There being several guns at the post, each prisoner supplied himself with a gun and commenced firing upon the guards at the other posts, one going down a rope at a time on the outside until all had va cated the post and retreated under fire to the timber located about one-half mile distant. All were captured but two, the same day. Under pressure the guard concluded that prison life was not his forte." • RELIABLE PATTERNS. Guaranteed to Ftt If Proper Size Is Given.
