BILL JOHNSON—
A CONVICT STORY.
Bill Johnson is one of the charac
ters in the Georgia penitentiary. He
was sent up for a term of years for
stealing a cow, hut made his escape
from the hospital and was at liberty
for a month and on this account two
years were added to his sentence.
He gave me a quaint and interesting
aceouut of his hospital experience
and his escape.
“I wuz over ter de Risin’ Fawn,

and “cut the pigeon wing.” Then he
