THE ONLY PAPER IN SEATTLE WASH., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1913 “ a Ml nest By Fred L. Boalt. HOODSPORT, Hood’s Canal, Wash., Sept. 16.—Thirty-two men are making a road from Hoodsport to Lilliwaup, five miles along the west shore of the canal. , Thirty of the 32 are convicts recently | brought here from the penitentiary at Walla Walla. One is a highwayman, one is a horse- thief, five are forgers, and the rest have been convicted of robbery and grand larceny. Nine are “second-termers.” The two who are not convicts are Frank Randolph, superintendent, and L. D. Packard, When night comes, the convicts leave their work and troop north to the “honor camp,” which lies hidden in a leafy gulch which de- bouches into the canal. “Good night, boys,” calls Randolph. “Good night, sir.” And Randolph and Packard go—the other way! SO Fiaa FSS s * © & | Boalt Visits Convicts’ on, “about one convict who didn’t ‘play the game.’ We were making roads down Chehalis way. I had guards who stood over the men night and day. They were armed with Win- chesters. And I knew every convict in the squad would make his getaway if he could. “But one of the men excited my sympathy. He worked hard and seemed anxious to please me. He had a wife who had had to go to the poorhouse. I made this man a trusty so that he could have more freedom. I paid his wife's railroad fare every other week so that she could visit him. “And one day in December, when the Che- halis was full to the brim, he took a header through the window of the blacksmith shop into the water, swam across, and got away. “Five days I went without food or sleep. Five days and nights I was constantly on his heels. I got his coat and hat and shoes, and part of his food, coming on his camps so sud- denly that he had no time to do anything but run like the devil. He got clear away. “I was sore. I’m still sore. Personally sore, you understand—so sore that, if I were to meet laim, in the Shushanna, Owned by William E. James and Wife and Nels P. Nelson, and Wm.

HUSHANNA | Honor Camp _on_Hood’s Canal | STAGE ALL SET; Another man, coming down the valley, met me at the door of one of the tents, and we en- tered together. He carried a bucket filled with blackberries. His entrance was the signal for a joyous uproar, and a jovial man, who, when a free agent, is burglariously inclined, went to the door of the tent and hollered: “Hey, cook!” “What?” “Blackberry pie tomorrow!” “Sure. Like mother used to make.” They smoked, talked and played cards. They turned in when they felt like it. Two went to town to buy tobacco; the rest were too tired, for the work is hard, and the convicts, after months and years in the jute mill, are soft muscled. The talk turned to getaways, and the horse-thief said: ‘It would be easy. But you'd get caught sooner or later, and it’d be the col- lege for yours. But it ain’t that that keeps me here. And it ain’t the fine life, or the money. I promised I wouldn’t try to get away, and I ain’t going to. "T wouldn’t be right.” * & eo. * * GOODBYE, THOR Thorwald Siegfried, attorney, will be found guilty of contempt of | Judge Humphries’ court Thursday! Everything is ready for the conviction. The stage is al! set. Judge Humphries removed the last doubt this morning, when he jSummarily denied Siegfried’s motion for a change of venue. So, on Thursday, Siegfried will be placed ®n trial on complaint of Judge Humphries, before Judge Humphries. Judge Humphries will act as complainant, judge and jury, and Sieg- fried will, of course, be found guilty. The maximum penalty, as Judge Humphries interprets it, is six | monthe’ imprisonment and a $300 fine. } Siegfried'’s “crime” consists of having made a complaint against the | judge to the bar association.
