MALE PRISONERS
Ed。 Stanfield。The history of this prisoner is as follows�此�He was about
nineteen years of age when he entered the prison�察 �which was some five
years ago。 His people reside in South Bend�察�Indiana。 His father�察�prior to
his death�察�was a prominent judge。 The family was wealthy�察�influential and
highly respected。 It consisted of the parents and two sons。 Ed。 proved to be
the black lamb of the flock。 At the early age of nine years�察�being sent away
to school�察 �he bade all good´bye one day and followed in the wake of a
circus show which was holding forth in the town where he was attending
school�察�He was not heard of anymore for several years。 His parents spent
vast sums of money attempting to ascertain his whereabouts。 They finally
heard of him in the following accidental manner�此 �His father�察 �Judge
Stanfield�察 �had been out in Nebraska looking after some land he had
recently purchased�察�and�察�on his return home�察�sitting in the cars�察�purchased
a newspaper of the newsboy as he came around。 Looking over the paper

he caught the name of his prodigal son。 There�察 �before him�察 �was the
account of his son who�察�having knocked down a prosecuting attorney in
broad daylight with a coupling pin�察�with the intention of robbery�察�had been
tried�察�convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years�察�and was on
that day safely lodged behind the walls。 The sad father�察�on reaching home�察�
dispatched his elder son to the Kansas prison to ascertain if it was his
younger son who was a convict。 The young man came on and soon
satisfied himself of the identity of the long´lost brother。 He returned home
and made the report to his parents。 From that day Judge Stanfield was a
broken´hearted man。 He soon grieved himself to death over the sad fate of
his boy�察�and the disgrace he had brought upon the family。 In making his
will�察�however�察�he gave Ed。 an equal share in the estate with his brother。
After the death of the father�察�the mother began to put forth efforts to secure
a pardon for her son。 His crime was so heinous and so uncalled for that it
was necessary for some time to elapse before an application was presented。
At the earliest moment possible the wheel began to turn。 The prosecuting
attorney of Bourbon County�察 �who had been knocked down with an iron
coupling pin�察�was soon satisfied�察�for the family had wealth。 It is of course
unknown how much money was passed to him to make his heart tender
and his eyes weep over the erring child that had come so near getting away
with his gold watch and chain。 A petition was soon in circulation for his
release�察 �signed by many prominent citizens。 An open pocketbook will
easily secure a petition for pardon�察�it makes but little difference as to the
;gravamen; of the crime。 The convict promised not to engage again in this
pleasant pastime for filthy lucre。 The mother of the young man came on
from the East and remained until she had secured a pardon for her boy。
The young man stated in our hearing that it took one thousand big dollars
to secure his pardon。 A great many who are acquainted with the facts in
the case are not slow in saying that if Stanfield had been a poor�察�friendless
boy�察�he never would have received a pardon�察�but would have had to serve
his time out。 There are more than five hundred men in that prison whose
crimes are of a less serious nature�察 �and who are far more deserving of
executive clemency than Stanfield。 It is said that ;rocks talk; in the
penitentiaries as well as on the outside。 The history of this criminal will

show my boy readers the future of many of those who�察�in early youth�察�ran
away from home�察�and go out into the world to mingle in bad company。
Cyrenius B。 Hendricks。This man was sent from Chatauqua County。
He was twenty´seven years of age when sentenced。 His crime was murder
in the first degree。 The particulars are as follows�此�He had been down to the
Indian Territory looking after his own and his father's cattle。 He was
absent on this business some little time。 On his return his wife informed
him that a neighbor had been talking about her in his absence�察 �and had
given her a bad character�察�and that on account of it she had become the
talk of the entire neighborhood。 The enraged husband compels his wife to
go with him�察�and they proceed to the neighbor's house。 Hendricks took his
gun with him。 When they reached the neighbor's gate they halted and
called the unsuspecting man out of his home。 Hendricks then asked him if
the charges were true as to his talking about Mrs。 Hendricks。 The neighbor
neither affirmed nor denied the statement。 At this Hendricks leveled his
gun and shot him dead on the spot。 He and his wife in a few hours after
were arrested�察�and�察�as it was too late to take them to the county seat that
night�察 �they were guarded in an old log house in the neighborhood。
Hendricks was fastened to the wall with a log´chain。 During the night
some one�察�supposed to be the brother of the murdered man�察�came to the
window of the house in which they were confined�察�and�察�placing the muzzle
of a gun through the window�察�shot Hendricks。 The ball struck him near one
of the eyes�察�rendering him blind in that eye�察�but did not kill him。 The next
day the two prisoners were taken to jail。 They were tried�察�and both found
guilty of murder in the first degree。 The husband was sentenced to be
hanged�察�while the wife received a life sentence。 They were both taken to
the penitentiary。 After they had been there a short time Hendricks lost the
other eye�察�from sympathy�察�as they call it。 For a time the husband and wife
remained on good terms。 They were allowed to visit each other once a
month。 After a while she tired of him and would have nothing more to do
with him。 She served four years�察 �and received a pardon。 Hendricks still
remains in prison�察�and is a pitiable and helpless wreck。 He is totally blind�察�
and his nervous system entirely shattered。 He can scarcely lift food to his
mouth。 He is so weak that it is with di
