The dinner was in honor of Warden Lewis E. Lawes of ing Sing Prison and Mre. Lawés and the Rev. Father W. HB. Cashin. It ‘Was served in the Warden's home for ‘the convenience of the other seven- teen guests, who are ‘all life con- . Viets and could not well go further from the ddmicile provided for them by the State, od » ‘Perry was himself a life convict’ until to-day. After serving fifteen years of the time alotted to him by » the law for an error of his youth he | Was pardoned by Gov, Smith, For Several years he has been an attend- ant on the Warden's household; th | . (have accumulated besides the Nttle allowance made by the State many for his benefit. ‘He has made himself liked on both sides of the prison wall because he has atways tried to make life pleas- anter by doing and saying cheerful and helpful things and has never tried to get favors by “knocking” hie fel- low prisoners to the officials or the Officials to his fellow prisoners—in spite of his unuswa} opportunities. As guests Perry selected the life Prisohers who had been at Sing Sing more than twelve years. They agreed with him when he told them he hoped to see every one of ther again—out- side, “Because,” he said, in his brief speech, “when I go out of here I'm not going to see the inside of this prison or any other, ever again. I've got @ girl who will stand by me and T've got a job with a boss who says he will stand by me—and I am going to stick with both of them.” ‘The seventeen “inside” guests were = all on parole. In conformity with the law, guards had to leave thé prison ‘rately atid dined in another room and kept out of sight until the dinner ‘was over and the “lifers” headed by ti Mr, Perry had walked back across the lawn and into the prison door. Some of them have not den outside iW the high wall for years; some may never come out again. Perry, who is a negro, was sentenced by Judge Rosalsky June 22, 1906, \ after he had shot and killed Alice Merritt, a former friend, and her com- fpanion, Louls Miller, on the 10th ‘Street Station of the Sixth Avenye elevated railroad, under circum- stances which did not warrant a ver- Ms dict of murder in the first degree. pcrcadieetaciaiel ly des), NEW APPEAL FOR HARRISON | durer Prefddiced, Says Attorney of Man in Death House.
