IMPRISONMENT OF CnOOKBD WHISKY
CONVICTS*— AN INTERVIEW WITH
ONE OF THEM.
Louisville, Feb. 3.—The la
(liana whisky convicts from Id
diaoapoHs were placed in the Pen
itentiary here to-day. The pris
oners, previous to "their present
trouble, occupied high positions,
and were numbered among the
best citizens of Evuds ville. The
sentences read " for bard labor "
for their terms specified for viola
tion of the revenue laws.
A Courier-Journal reporter sue
ceeded in having a talk with the
prisoners- after they arrived at the
prison.
Albert McGriff was sitting on a
smoking lounge, bis face buried in
his bands, the picture of grief and
despair. The reporter touched him
lightly on the shoulder, when be
started and raised his bead. His
face looked careworn and hag
gard, and bis eyea were suffused
with tears. He is sixty years old
He said : " My God, to think that
I would ever come to a place like
this. It will kill me. My heart is
crushed now." He spoke in|
voice deep with emotion, and was
greatly agitated. He continned :|
" If it were not for my poor wife
and son, I believe I could stand
it ; but to thiuk of the disgrace
brought upon them is more than I
can beat, It will kill my wife. She
is sick now, and this will kill her.
But there is one consolation : She
knows I am Innocent of the charge.
I swear to you timt I am an inno
cent man."
He said that his wife was fifty
eight years old, and that he had
been married thirty Tears.
McGriff was wolf known and
highly respected at Evansville,
being for seven years the city clerk
ol that place, and a leading mem
ber in tha Presbyterian Church.
He has the heart »disease, and it is
the general opinion among his
friends that he will not long sur
vive his imprisonment.
Jeffersonville, Iud., Feb. 3.-—
Striped convict suits were given
the whisky convicts, which they
put on, and which altered them so
much that they were scarcely re
cognizable when fully rigged ont.
They were taken to the house and
assigned their quarters and cots.
They will not at present have anv
work to do, as the convicts are all
idle.
