While people , throughout the United States ar0 pe titioning the pardon board of the ! state of Connecticut to give Bessie Wakefield a chance. George King, convict No. 86iiii, who was given a ; chance largely through the efforts j of Mrs. Helen (irenfel and Mrs. An i 11 a II. Williams, of the state charities ! and corrections board, in making good In Canyon City penitentiary, i Reared without schooling, beaten j by a step-father who hated htm and ' finally driven from his home on a I ranch In Elbert county, Colorado, j when twelve years old, he wus told to ; make his own living. He lost his right arm at the shoul ' der when 1 (i years old while attempt ing to do a man's work In a cement , plant. George King never had a j chaneo for moral development. He was sentenced to die upon the gallows for the murder of a hermit. . known to have money in Ills hut. His accomplice was John Field, a boy morally irresponsible, said the court. ' Mrs. Grenfel personally Investigated ! the history of George King. Since hunger was the primary motive for : I the crime, she determined to raise 1 , money to take his case to tho su- j preme court for a second trial. ' Three weeks before the day set for hanging King h(. overheard Hie con- versatlon of the prison chaplain with 1 1 another fellow about going to school t; in the prison. "I never had much li schooling." hu broke in. "I wonder i if I could learn to r?nd and write ; before I die.' ! Ho was tried a second time nnd sentenced to life imprisonment. King I '-T-'ne- the first fhniice he has ever had In his life of 21 years to show his mettle, and he Is showing it. "deorgo King is a model prisoner," , said Deputy Warden Jamison. "He is eagerly pursuing his studies in the prison school and ambitious to learn telegraphy. All he needed was hu man kindness to develop his moral responsibility." j STOP AT Hotel Grand SCass St., Roseburg, Ore.
