e BORR o BRI SN GB 1 el Murderesses “High Hat” Those of Lesser Crimes Winnifred Mason Huck, former eongresswoman and the first woman to preside over the house of repre- sentatives, got herselt sentenced to prison. Gulltless ot any crime, she pought answers to the questions— Are our prisons humane? Can a girl, crushed by her fellow men, regaln her place in soclety ? This Is the eleventh story, written for The Herald, By Winnifred Mason Huck (Former Representative to Congress from. Tllinols), During my stay at Marysville one #ad occurence showed me how real &' sympathy even prisoners can show for a friend in trouble, The mother of Superintendent Mittendort dled.

There were 600 prisoners in the chapel, Most of them were weeping, not from hysteria, but from a real sense of lose. The others sat silent and som- ber. Mabel Champlon, who has since escaped from prison, sat dry-eyed, staring out the window. I did not then know who she was, for she flved in Ellzabeth cottage and did not eat in the main hall But her face fascinated me, Her whole mien was baffling. Dorothy who sat beside me in the dining room, told me who she was. Husband Hung Dorothy had been Mabel's room- mate at the time when Mabel's hus- band was hung in California.
