spector of Prisons, began ids inves-
tigation. He went over the baleen -

ledge in charge, and will mike

occurrence.,
Rise Breaks Down.
The prisoner Rice, being the second
Ln the line of prisoners, had entered
the doorway leading to the dining -
room when -Rutledge bolted for the
upper balcony. A. minute, later the
alarm bell rang, and Rice turned to
a guard and asked, "is Rutledge
dead ?" This was taken to moan
that Rutledge had commenicated his
plan of suicide to Rice while the pas -
ere were in' the police van, but later
11* the day, Rice denied that lie had
any previous knowledge of this in-
tention. The young prisoner broke
down completely when he was taken
back to his cell. He leaned his head
against the cell door and Robbed.
"I heard the shout just as I entered
he door, he said, "and when I
looked ba.cle I saw Rutledge go
through the air. Thea I knew what
he had done."
Rico was perhaps the only man in
the jail who had a kindly word to
say of the man whose lire had just
passed out. "Frank was as gen-
erous a man as I ever knew," he
said. "In Chicago he always had
money to give to the poor, and we
never walked down street tiogether
but he gave something to unendi-
centre Among us his word was as
good as gold. He was a real man, and
he would stick to a friend to the
last." Rutledge during his event -
