Thomas Craig, a oonvi01 at the Central prison, is in soli- tary confinement nursing a bullet which was fired into his oelI by Guard Charles Edward, and which he says he intends to show the Minister of Justice ou his re- lease. The bullet is nob in any part of Craig's anatomy, bat this he soya is not the fault of Guard Edward. He pinked it up from the floor after the inoident od- carred. Craig has served time at Kingston and was twioe sentenced to short terms for theft in the Toronto police courts. He is now serving a sentence received at Goderioli, bis home, The convict is 24 years of age, and is a tailor by trade. He was put to work in that shop when he arrived 1n t110 prison. He was a very morose and rebellions prisoner, and set such a ball example to the other convicts that Poremau Able asked the warden to have him re- moved, and Craig was e000rdingly detail- ed to the broom shop. He refused flatly to go after due persuasion, but finally went for one day. When the work was over Craig left bis place in the line, and, walking to where Mr. Able was standing, remarked : "I'11 out your heart out be- fore six mouths have passed." He was then taken back to his oell and searched. Two knives were found on him, one with an ugly slender blade near- ly four inches long and sharp as a razor, Then Craig was disciplined by spanking, the punishment given prisoners for grave violations of the prison law. He reoeiv. all ten slaps and went back to his oell lead with rage, vowing that if he were hanged for it he would out Warden 011- 01001 8 throat.

Thinking that another weapon might be behind the wood, Edward drew his revolver and fired, the bullet passing the oonei0t'0 heed and striking the wall near the veil. ing.
