His mind was a total blank from that time until he found himself playing pool on Marietta street. He claimed he was in a fit of Insanity at the time of the crime. J. w.

Tha Prison Orchestra. One of the features of the occasion will be the prison orchestra, which Is being rehearsed dally by the chaplain. Several of the prisoners are expert musicians on different Instruments and oa several Instruments have been con tributed to the prison for the amuse ment of the Inmates since the opening of the penitentiary, they have been given to those musically Inclined with the result that a fairly good nucleus has been created, about which may be built an expert musical organization. One of the long-term prisoners de rives a great deal of solace and com fort from a violin upon which he is allowed to play at times. Another has become attached to a bass violin and has become quite adept In developing sonorous harmonies from Its depths to Ills bwn amusement as well us his mates. A clarinet player, a guitar and mandolin performer, are sometimes called in to contribute on musical oc casions. The gathering* In the prison, chapel are always looked forward to with In terest by the prisoners. The entertain ing programs serve to turn their thoughts from themselves and past misdeeds; they offer a reprieve from the long sentence of solitude and the days and nights of monotony give way to something from the outside world which Is an event In their prison lives.
