A STATE PRISON EPISODE.
Detroit Free PreHH.
A fellow named Mike, sent from the
Central Station court for six months,
gave a foimer superintendent no end of
trouble. Mike was not only a giant in
strength, but he had an iron will, the
persistency of a bloodhound, and he
seemed not to know., what fear was.
When received at the prison he was im
pudent and boisterous, and had to be
punished at once. When taken to the
shops to be set at work he threw down
his tools and said:
If you have got a man in this place
who can make me work, just trot him
out!"
He stood for a day and-a night with
one leg chained to the wall, so yjat he
must constantly stand on the other, be
fore he would go back to the shop, and
he had not been at work an hour before
he again rebelled. The dark cell had no
terrors for him. If they stopped his
food he did not mind it. He was coaxed,
threatened, punished and talked to, but
his only reply was:
I tell you I won't do a day's work in
the whole six months!"
After thinking the case over, the su
perintendent ordered Mike to be taken
to a lonely underground room in the
main building, and in a little while he
followed on. Mike wasn't feeling exact
ly easy in his mind. The idea of sepa
rating him from the prison and conduct
ing him to that lonely, far-away room
bothered his head.
The superintendent was armed with a
club, and lie slipped into the room as if
he was afraid of being seen. When
he had locked the door aud put the key
in his pocket, he took off his coat anil
began:
"Now, Mike, your time has come! I
nave tried in'every way to get along with
you, but you
were i-
obey. I am put here to run this prison,
and I'm going to do it if I have to kill
somebody every day!"
He rolled up his sleeves, stepped to
the door to make sure that it was locked
and continued:
"I have made up my mind to kill you.
No one will miss you, or if they do I can
say that you escaped. Your body can
be hidden "under here aud the rats alone
will know it!"
He spit on his hands, seized his club,
and Mike yelled out:
"Don't—don't—for heaven's sake do
not murder me!"
"You will not work—you refuse to
obey—you—"
"Yes, I'll work—I'll obey—oh! give
me a chance—just one chance!" inter
rupted Mike as he fell on bis knees and
held up his bauds, and after a time he
was told that he could live on. He went
to the shops, took hold of bis work, and
official ever had any more trouble
with liirn. In the preseuee of other
convicts lie would lmve died fighting.
Taken alone he was a coward in the face
of what he thought was death.
