Those who surbive break down physically or mentaily or both. There are in and near New who served terms in British penal institutions. Wwrecks—the case of Dr. Gallagher, York City to-day several Irishmen Two of these men are of Greenpoint, who was returned from Portland convict prison a raging lunatic, being of sach recent oc- currence as to be fresh in the memory of the public. Another dis- charged prisoner, Whitehead, Who arrived here about the same time, is also incarably affected. It is believed Col. Lynch Wwiil be sent events- ally to Portland. Fohn Caritn Kent, who spent twelve long years in Portland prison and Who also bears indelible traces of the sufferings he endured there, told the following story of his experiences to The Evening World to-day: POISON FOR A MAN WHO WOULD NOT SAY “SIR.” “I could not attempt to exaggerate the conditions that beset an Irish polit- feaj prisoner in a British convict prison i I tried. Irish political prisoners are considered the legitimate prey of their Jailers, and any attempt to appeal for Tedress from cruel treatment results in adding to the horrors and trials of the prisoner. ‘The mere turning of a head, the failure to keep step in line while Boing to or coming from the cell, fall- ure to address one's prison keeper as ‘Sir,’ or an attempt to talk with or communicate with @ fellow prisoner is at once met with the meting out-of in- humane punishment. “I witnessed the deliberate poisoning ef an Irish political prisoner by his Eng- lah keeper because the latter did not! address his warder—as the keepers are/ cailed—'Sir.. ‘The prisoner's name was Daly. He had been sentenced with the west of us for political reasons. Kept in Cell, Though Sick. “He was sick in his cell, having been forced to do work which was quite be- yond his strength to accomplish. He was not taken to the hospital, as would have been done in the case of any but an Irish political prisoner, but was) left in his miserable dungeon while his | keeper was assigned to minister to his} physical wants. I occupied the cell m-/ mediately above that of Daly. One| might 1 heard the keeper approach Daly's cell, and, nolsily Inserting the key In the lock of the trap which, when Jet down, enables the keeper to gee the interlor of the cel) J heard him shont out gruffly, ‘Well, Daly, what's the mat- ter with you? “I heard Daly say bravely enough, ‘Ob, Iam all right.’ ‘Is that the way to anawer me?’ I then heard the keeper exclaim angrily, ‘When you reply to me uu must address ine as “Sir."" the shouted in a voice so Joud that it could easily be heard by the other pris- oners, ‘I'll address you as you address then heard Daly say. With that English keeyer flung open the door! of Daly's cell, "and, flashing the full) glare of a bull’s-eye Inntern in the face | of the sick man, exclaimed: Called Him an Irish Dog, #41 fix you for that, you Irish dog.’ “This man came the next morning with a medicine glass containing | Nquid which he forced Daly to drink. A| few minutes later Daly staggered out | of his cell when the doors were opened ‘and the order was given for the pris- ners to fall Into linc, Daly was @ tall man, and as the tell men led the jing he had to go first. J was behind and saw what happened, Daly ataggered to the head of the line. One of the keep- ers commanded him to walk straight, but poor Daly was in dreadful agony. “It was only when he fell to the und that he received any attention, Fe'wee dying when. they carried him last. to the hospital, where it waa discovered that he had been. poisoned. “Had I attempted to tell what had oc- ourred, or even to have held out @ hand to help Daly, I id have been selzed at once and thrown into a dark Keon and given bread and water, 2 man fn that line turned his head who dragged Sut of the line and puniehed, We haa to keep our eyes to the front and pre- tend not to have witnesred what had en place. ‘To have muttered a word of protest or exchanged a word of grent- ing or a nod of salutation with a fellow- risoner meant instant punishment. Nothing ever came of the dasardly pol- woning of Daly." ENDLESS GRIND OF TORTUBING “CRANK.” “Various forms of punishment are in ¢ogue to-day in the penal prisons, and te none are they more liberally meted out than to the Irish political prisoner ‘The terrible crank is one of these. The erank is a contrivance equipped with a dial which registers the number of turns made. When a man is to be pun- twhed by turning the crank 6,000 times he is not allowed full freedom of & shops nt ‘Thus shackled, he ls sentenced to turn the crank, but in administering this form of punishment the unfortunate prisoner is not allowed withdut the con- fines of his cell. Ingenious as is the torture-Inflicting crank, the devilishness of the device is intensified by compel- king the victim to turn It while he re- mains shackled in his cell. ‘This is accomplished by running the rod of Uae crank through the wall of the cell into the corridor, where the part ing the tell-tale dial stands in full view of the keepers. Locked in. his cell, dark, damp and gloomy, the prigoner turns and grinds the Hve-long day, while the register outside keeps fab on’ every revolution. ‘The Cranks!’ Endless Grind. “If the crank céasey the k ‘sare made instantly aware ofthe fact 4 the cessation of the whirring noise and the movement of the ‘di vestigation may prove that the prisone coliapsed and is lying insenatbl floor of his cell or he has sulked. But the sulk 4s only for a brief time. en the keepers have finished thelr visits to that cell the poor unfortunate is willing to resume the heart-breaking grind. ‘Here is the routine of prison life da: In'and day out at Portland prison, az full well know {t: * ‘. “At 6 o'clock the prigoners are aroused dy the clanging of a bell.

HIS MAN. Frank Klein, an ex-convict, who was arrested in Willlamsburg last Tuesday, was fdentified to-day by Court Officer William H, Burke as the man who, when caught in the act of trying to break in Burke's house on the Fresh Pond road in Newtown, shot him in the neck. inflicting an almost fatal wound. Klein has « bad record. Fifteen years ago he was sentenced to ten years im- prisonment for burglary, but before he had served half hig term he escapes. He eluded the vigilance of the pol'ce for nearly two years, when he was again captured under suspicious clrcumstanc: and sent back to prison to serve out his term. He was discharged last Novem- ‘ber. When Capt. Formosa, chief of the Brooklyn DeteStive Bureau, went over the records of dangerous criminals at large a short time ago he came across that of Klein, and immediately assigned Detective-Sergeants Carroll and Gilpin to look the man up. ‘hey located him in a Williamsburg house and arrested him. When Klein was searched a jimmy and an electric dark lantern were found in fis clothes. It {8 a felony for a man onoe convicted of burglary to carry burglar's tools, and he would have been sent back to prison on that charge had not Burke identified him as his assa!lant. Burke had worked tn the clerk's office in the Court-House until midnight on Des. 2. He got to his home, on the Fresh {ond road, whortly after 1 o'clock and found Kieln attempting to pry open the front door.

John C, Tomllneon, the lawyer who undertook Albert 'T. Patrick's case after the latter's condemnation for murdering old William M. Rice, to-day’ asked Bur- rogate Fitzgerald to increase the $7,000, 000 bond of the surety compantes admin- istering the Rice estate, He sald that the estate was known to be at least $5,600,000, and that while the bond was for $7,000,000, as a matter of fact it was much less by the operations of the law, which forbida a surety company giving a bond great than 10 per cent. of {ts capital stock and surplus, The United States Fidelity and Casualty Company and the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland are the adminis- trators, and Mr. Tomlinson sald the capital stock and surplus of the one was only $4,800,000 and of the other $1,800,000. Ten per cent of the aggregate would be only $660,000, and the lawyer argued that the dead Texan's estate is protected by thelr bond only to that ex- tent. James Byrne and Frank Platt opposed the application. They sald that the statement of Capt, Baker, executor of the Rice will of 1896, admited to probate that the estate In New York amounted to $3,965,000 was an error. They sald the total capital and surplus of the surety companies 1s $7,151,000, and that the Ap- pellate Diviston of the Supreme Court, where a surety company had taken col- lateral to protect iiself, held that the 10 per cent.
