A CAN PEACHES By EDWARD L HICKS When I was warden of the pen itentiary a young niau was scut up to the Institution to servo a term fm burglary. To look at him no one would take him for a burglar, for he had us honest a face as any man I ever saw, and I believe that I can tell an honest man from Ids expression. A young girl came to set' him soon after his imprisonment who seemed completely broken down on his m count. She asked me to let her see him. and when I inquired as to their relationship she said she was his be trot lied. Those who" call to see prisoners nl .ays assume that the latter are tnno-i-eiif., but from the story this girl told me about her lover I made up my mind that he had been victimized. He had fallen In with a couple of rogue who Intended to "crack a crib." Working on the young man's sympa thies by telling hlin a yarn about a girl held Id a certain house against her will, they propound n rescue. Thompson that was tii na ri- -yielded to their solicitations to assist them and consented to watch while they effected an entrance into the house for the purpose. On the night when they proposed to do the Job they stationed Thompson on a balcony to give the alarm If any one came Then, raisin? n window with a Jimmy, they entered the house and got nway with a lot of valuables, leaving Thompson to be caughL Of course the story he bad teen told about the rescue had no weight with the Jury, and despite this Indng his first offerme he was convicted. I would not have believed the young man capable of being thus victimized had It not wen, as I hare nald. for hi honest expression nnd for a knowl edge of his character, which was child like and sympathetic. Convinced ot his Innocence. I felt worry for hi in and for the girl, who was devoted to Dim. One day Agnes she was Anne Brown came to me with a enn of pre served ppnehen that she nsked to Ih permitted to give her lover. I told her that all I could do In the premises would be to hare tle can owned. take out the peaches and let til in have them Id thnt way. Hut she said ihat hf couldn't ent them all at once and beg ged thnt he might be permitted to re ceive them as she had brought them. She would ojien them before me to show me thnt the run confirmed noth tng but what she claimed tt contained I didn't spe what a prisoner coold do to effect an escape with a tin can If there were no Instruments Inside to enable blin to do ao. 1 broucht a can opener, cut the top of the can and poured the contents out Into a dish, t proposed to the girl to let the prisoner bare them In the dutb, but the aaid he had brought aome wai wltb her with whtrh he could aeal the lid after j usint a part or trie preserve, and ! well. I did sntuethhur I never did be ! fore or since; I consented that he i should have the peaches In the can. J Htii before scmimi: the gilt to the I prisoner I scrutinized" It.
