BOWED DOWN WITH AGE
THOMAS PRICE SEEKS PARDON
i Asks All 11 is Friends to Intercede With Governor in His Behalf—
Ilowbe Tracked Escaped Prisoners.
Repenting of his sins and torn with
a strong' desire to “pillar his head on
his native heath." Thomas Price, now
close on to eighty years old. wants to
leave the penitentiary to which he was
sent for life.
Price was convicted of killing an
other man in Prince Edward county
about twelve years ago. Because ot
his gallant war record, as a private, the
fact that he was ordinarily a peace lov
ing and law abiding man. and slew his
advtsary during a drunken row in a
saloon, friends interceded with Gover
nor Tyler and prevailed upon him to
commute the death sentence to life im
prisonment. This was done, and Price
was sent to the State farm in Gooch
‘ land county.
I Notwithstanding the fact that he was
a “lifer" he showed such a willingness
to obey all the rules and remain on the
farm that he was made a trusty and
I given the task of training the blood
hounds used in tracing escaped crimi
nals. The hounds are said to have
been most successfully trained. On one
occasion a prisoner escaped from the
farm and Brice started out after him
with the hounds. The chase led to
f'ulherland and thence to Prince Ed
wnrd. Price followed closely. Nlght
overtook him. He stopped in Prince
Edward to shake hands with his
friends and to spend the night, but the
next day returned to the farm of his
1 own accord and reported such good
clues that the escaped convict was
speedily captured.
Several months ago Price was moved
to the penitentiary and is now there.
Although he has not filed a formal pe
tition for a pardon, each time anyone
he knows to be acquainted with Gov
ernor Mann visits the penitentiary he

Every Department.
The Washington ward city assis

! As soon as the Southslde nggrega

The first duty of each assistant con

highly pleased with hla new Job. and
said he would like to make a similar
start every day.
! Though witlt the exception of Mayor
Richardson, who will be forced to
struggle along alone and as bent he

assistant, these new men are as yet
slightly unfamiliar with the duties
which they will lie called upon to per

i themselves in frequent dllemnas.
They will lie of value, however, In
assisting the city In the adjustments
made necessary by consolidation, as
