INDIANA FEMALE PRISON Some of the Noted Criminals Confined Wrthin Its Walls. The Efforts Made to Educate the Children —lnstances of Reformation Among Prisoners —A Legal Point. yesterday afternoon a Journal reporter visited an institution of which Indiana may well be proud, and the report of which has gone abroad to do her honor. It is the Indiana Reformatory Institution for Women and Girls. It has now been established ten j’ears, Conversing with Mrs. Smith, the matron, she said: “When the institution wns opened, seventeen women were j sent here from the Southern Prison. Five of them had a lire sentence, aud eight of the prisoners were colored. They all used tobaccochewed it—haviug, most of them, acquired the filthy habit in prison. They brought plugs of it with them in their irun ks, and we did not take it away from them at first, telling them to use it more and more soaringly until, when their stock was gone, they could bear to be without It. We are less indulgent now, and no tobacco is tolerated.” On making the request tlie reporter was shown through both the reformatory and the penal departments of the institution. Tnere are forty-three women in the penal department, ten of whom are for life, and ouo, Dorcas Birchfield, who was committed about three years ago from Princeton, Gibson County, for twelve years. She shot and killed her brother-in-law while trying to kill somebody else. Bhe is fortytwo years old, the widow of a soldier and receives a pension of $8 a month. Her three children, the oldest sixteen years old, were here to see Governor Porter last week with a petition for her release. Th other ten are for murder, four of them being brought at the opening of the institution from the Southern Prison. These are Sally Hubbard, of Wabash; Mary Adams, of Salem; Mary Longenecker. of Indianapolis, and Jane Williams, of Crothersville. Tne last named killed her sister-in-law about fifteen years ago, cutting her throat from ear to ear. She is now’ deranged, aud has to be kept locked up alone. “It was the case of this poor woman as I saw her in the Southern prison,” said Mrs. Smith, “that made me think an institution of this kind and better treatment would iinprovo the condition of such creatures. She was crazy then, but for the first four years she was here her mind w r as nearly restored. As she gets older, however, she grows worse. In the Southern prison the other prisoners were allowed to treat her cruelly. But that was no place for women, and things were done there that never cau be published, as they are too shameful for print.” THE LIFE-TIME PRISONERS. The oldest prisoner is a lifer, aud is seventyfive years old. Aunt Sally Hubbard, as she is called, is a mild, harmless oid woman who is given no task to do, bur puts iu her time at knitting and making pin-cuslilons. The walls or her neatly-kept room, two sides of it, are covered with pictures, and she shows with pride the photographs of Governor Hendricks, Williams and Porter, which have prominent positions. “She is a good w’otuan now,” said the matron, “and if guilty of the crime for which she was sent (none of us have ever spoken to her about ii), she has, let ua hope, been forgiven.” Mrs. Longenecker and Mrs. Ellen Walton were both in the sewing-room. Mrs. Longenecker’s children are trying to get the Governor to pardon her. She lias been in prison eighteen years, and was sentenced for killing her husband with poisou, tartar emetic being employed. She has always declared her innocence. The petition for the pardon of Mrs. Walton as accessory to the murder of her husband, is under consideration by the Governor. Frazier, the negro who killed Walton, and who is in the penitentiary now, sa3 r s that Mrs. Walton had nothing to do with instigating the murder. Mrs. Fiances Kuntzler, of Dearborn county, also iu for life, is the gardener of the institution, and has been out in Che grounds all summer and had thousands of opportunities of escape. She incited her son, a boy of fourteen years, to kill her drunken, cruel husband. Jhe iuatcpu says sue is a faithful, naru-worklug woman. Mrs. Susan Smith, who was committed from Wayne county, April 26, 1882, is in foi a similar crime. Her son. at his mother’s instigation, killed a cruel husband and unnatural father. Mrs. MaryBrown, who, with Joseph Wade, killed her husband near Irvington, is also a lifer. She is a stout, healthy woman and a tractable prisoner. Nicey South wood, of Dubois countv, was brought to the institution in October, 1877 ; on a life senteiice. Whep brought. was linger tyepty .. o.tis old, and had murdered her twin babefi. She is not very bright meutally. Eliza Sage, of Blackford county, is in for life, and was committed on June 1, 1883 She had an illegitimate child sixteen mounts old and killed it by drowning, a man teliiug her he would marry her if she got rid of it. The couple were married a few nours after the drowning of the child aud a few hours later were arrested for the murder. The father got clear. A petition for anew trial lias been made on the ground that in view of the escape of the man her punishment is excessive.

prison rules. The rules which govern both departments of the institution require the inmates to rise at 5 a. m. in the summer, and 6 a. m. winter, when, after proper attention to cleanliness, they will put their beds aud rooms in order. Breakfast is at 6:45, with Scripture reading and devotional exercises, and At 7:30 a. m. the duties or the day begin. Dinner at 12; one hour for this meal and recital ion of Bible texts. Snpper is at 6 p. 3i., after which, as officers think best, the time is taken up until 7:45 P. m.— when the prisoners retire—in school, religious or social improvement. At 8 o’clock, all lights (except, by permission) are extinguished. Tobacco is prohibited in every form; no lewd singing or whistling allowed, and no inmate is allowed to converse on her past b.id life, or reproach another for the same. Swearing, lying or dishonesty are to be punished severely. There is no exemption from religious services, except on account of sickness or by permission of officers. No letters are to be conveyed to or from an inmate, except examined by an officer. The inmates are required to keep their rooms and persons clean and in order and to he respectful to visitors and officers, cheerfully performing all duties required of them. THE REFORMATORY DEPARTMENT. “This department,” Miss M. M. Pray, a teacher. who showed the reporter through, explained, “is where girls are taken to reform. None who are over sixteen years old or under six are received. They can stay uutil eighteen years old. When let out before that time they go out on ticket-of-leave, are under supervision, and can be brought back at any time until they are eighteen.” In one room the reporter saw some little girls c ire-seatirig chairs, and in other rooms larger girls and young women tacking comforts and sewing. In another room a number of girls were doing laundry work. They do work for city customers until Thursday of each week, and then do the institution work. In each case they work hut halt a day, both the small and tlie large girls, and go to school the remainder of the day. There was a smell of wholesome new bread in the baking-room, where two girls were, at work. Nearly every girl large enough takes a turn at baking during her stay. There are 110 girls, the majority of whom have keen sent for incorrigibility. It must not be supposed that tho girls here, even the larger oues, have all been corrupt. Many of them, most* of them, in fact, arc virtuous, hut arc lie re as needing restraint to be saved from destruction. 1 here are about forty little girls who have milk for breakfast ana supper; the lurgergirls have coffee for breakfast and tea for supper; water for dinner for everybody. Home liiUk is bought lor the institution, but ihe most is furnished by. their own cows, and the giris do the milking. SCHOOL ROOM AND LIBRARY. lii thu schoolroom the Uxt books used are Harvey's Series in Readers, first, second, third and fourth; Harvey’s Grammar; Eclectic History of the United States after the fourth reader as a reading hook; Eclectic Geographies,primary, and intermediate; Ray’s Arithmetics, mental a u third part practical. There is no library to speak of. Some years ago Mr. Slough ton A.

TJTE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, GOTO HER 3, 1883.

I Fletcher presented $250 worth of booUs, and a few miscellaneous hooks have beeu given since, Mrs. Burson,of Muncie, sending in forty volumes last Christmas, and Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks making liberal gifts, but a larger collection of suitable books is much needed and would be the means of doing great good. It Is hoped that some benevolent people will turn their benefaction in this direction. The inmates in both departments are well fed, well clothed and well housed. The prison smell and prison look are both absent, at the reformatory. It is seldom, say the officers, that there is any trouble with the inmates, and rare that there is any need of punishment. Over 800 women and girls have beeu cared for in the lost ituiion since it w r as opened, over 500 iu the reformatory and nearly 300 in the prison. The reporter intimated that the inmates of the reformatory looked much like other children of the same ages. “So they do,” said the Matron, “and some of the sweetest looking girls here are as cunning as can be—sharp and secretive. There are girls here under ten years old who can pick auy look in this house.” “On the prison side the women look contented?” “Well they are not, I doubt if there is one who wouldn’t give every thing iu the world to get our, and yet most of them are better off hero than living their former lives. But this isn’t liberty. Our policy is to reform them, and qualify them to make their ow n living.” “I suppose it is difficult to find places forgirle who have been in the Reformatory; nobody wants them,” suggested the reporter. “You are wrong,” said Mrs. Smith, “I have twenty applications to-day for girls to do housework. I placed fifty out during the past year. Some were liberated to go to their homes, but. a large portion ,of them went out to go to work. Thirty of my girls are married in this city. There are a few in the city who wander back into tho ways of the wicked, but we do thoroughly reform 80 per cent, of the girls wo take into the Reformatory. We Rave many who otherwise would be proslilutes upon our streets. Judge Norton doesn’t appear to hold this institution iu very high estimation. That is because lie knows nothing or but little about it. In looking over my record i tind 130 from Marion county, not twenty of them in the city to-day and of those not more than half a dozen are doing badly. We get the girls away from the evil influences of the city and provide them with homes as far distant as possible. Here are letters from some of them many of them now happily married.” The reporter looked at the letters thirty or more and ali of recent date and from postuflices distant from Indianapolis. “I could give you humlreds of instances of reclaimed girls. Nearly nine years ago I called at the jail for a girl that was called Babe Van. ‘lf j’ou can do any thing for Babe,’ said the chief of police, ‘you’ll be doing a great work. She's the toughest case we have.’ Well, we, took her, and a better girl never left the institution. She is now in—(Mrs. Smith named a northwestern Territory). She lias married a man of property, and is a teacher In a Sunday-school. No, w T e don’t scruple to have them marry. They are as good as the men. Nobody knows what these poor girls have to contend with. Only a little while ago a man came here and took aw’ay liis niece. He was her uncle, and a day or two later I got a letter from her that the unnatural wouster had tried to take her to a hotel and seduce her. A LEGAL POINT. As the reporter was about the leave the matron handed him the following letter, which she had just received. It refers to a prisoner who was left by the sheriff of Morgan county yesterday morning (the letter did not arrive until in the afternoon), being committed for receiving aud concealing stolen goods. Her husband was takeu to tho Southern Prison yesterday for the same offense for a term of three years: “Martinsville, Ind., Oct. 1, 1833. ‘‘Superintendent Indiana Reformatory Institution: “To-day in our court a judgment was rendered upon a verdict of jury, sentencing Elizabeth Thacker to one year’s imprisonment in the penal department of the 'Female Reformatory for Women and Girls of the State of Indiana.’ “There is no such institution known to the laws of Indiana. Our sheriff may bring Mrs. T. to your iustitutlou with a commitment as above specified. Certainly it will not authorize you to receive her, and we call your attention to section 6,162, revision of 1881. If received, it will be our duty to at once take legal proceedings for her release. We thought it fair to advise you of the status that you might act advisedly iu the matter. We are, truly, “Grubbs <fc Parks, “Attorneys for Mrs. Thacker.” By reference to the section indicated it wl*l be seen that the name of the institution is the “Indiana Reformatory Institution for Women aud Girls ” Nine persons, all women, comprise the entire force of officers of this institution, which holds 183 inmates, forty-three of them adult criminals.

POLITICAL GOSSIP. Small Talk About the Local Canvass—lndiana Statesmen in Ohio. “If the Democrats,” remarked District Attorney Holstein, yesterday, in a conversation with a Journal reporter, “get a majority in the Ohio Legislature, which is altogether improbable, Pendleton will be elected United States senator. The matter is fixed. McLean’s opDosition has not weakened the candidacy of Pendleton over the State, and the Enquirer has not the power to defeat him. The Republicans have, however.” Governor Porter spoke at Pomeroy, 0., last night, which closes his work in that State, and he will to-day return home. Senator Harrison delivered his last speech in the Ohio campaign, yesterday, aud will be home to-day. District Attorney Holstein will return to Ohio on Friday, aud will speak at Hillsboro on Saturday. Hon. W. H. Calkins, who made his first speech in the Ohio campaign last Monday, will close his work to morrow. “The important thing which should be impressed upon the minds of the Republicans,” remarked a local politician, “is that, they should not fail to vote next Tuesday. The majority is large enough, and all that is necessary is to poll the full party vote.” Remember the date of the election—Tuesday, Oct. 9. The Democrats have omitted to nominate candidates for the Council in one or two of the wards, notably the Second, in the hope that the Republicans will not turn out in force, as there is no contest. Republicans should be awake to the danger of allowing the vote to lail short in their Strongest wards. John Stroble, the independent candidate for council in the Seventeenth ward, is making a vigorous campaign and hopes to be elected. He was unlairly treated by the Democrats, who will regret not having allowed him to run, after having fairly received the nomination, before the campaign is over. AMUSEM EN r NOTES. Billy Maloney, who with his wife (Mabel Gray) is doing a clever sparring act at the Park this week, had better not come on the stage again in the condition ho was In last night, or he might get “knocked out.” To-morrow night and during the remainder of the week, Robson & Crane, popular comedians, will be at the Grand iu their revised edition of “Our Boarding-House,” iu which they are said to have made the greatest hit of their professional career. They have never played the piece in this city. “The. Devil’p Auction” will be the attraction at English’s the last three uighis of the week. The piece has been greatly changed since Its presentation here last year, and it now requires the services of a very largo company. It has made a hit In the East. Castle’s Celebrities will continue to be the attraction at the Park during the remainder of tho week. A good variety bill is given, aud the attendance is large. Mary Milton, a popular member of the company, who has been sick for several days past, expects to bo able to go on at to-night’s performance. Manager George A. Dickson left for Fort Wayne last night on business connecied with his theaters there. Benj. F. Johnson’s Poems. Messrs. Merrill, Meigs & Cos., of thiß city, have issued a second edition of J, W. Riley's “Benj. F. Johnson” poems. The first edition—exhausted some time ago—was a very neat publication, but the new publishers have improved on it, and as a result the perfection of letter-press has been arrived at. It is bound in parchmeut. as before, but lias been made brighter by the addition of a red-line border to each page. An extended saie is assured. _____ Robaon & Crane’s Boarding-House will be open for the reception or boarders on and alter Thursday evening next.

GEO. W. SrOTTS’S TROUBLE. His Failure in Business Occasioned by Speculating in Margins. His "Father-In-Law, Adam Scott, Heavily Involved by Him—The Character of Spotts’s Recent Operations. George W. Spotts. a member of the Indianapolis Board of Trade, aud a young man quite well known in business circles, has left the city under circumstances of a very embarrassing nature, caused by heavy losses iu wheat margin speculations. Until about six mouths ago, he was the proprietor of a grain elevator on Virginia avenue, and was regarded as a young mail of extraordinary business qualifications. He began with a small capital, wliioh had beeu accumulated by his own industry and economy, and for a time seemed to be doing a verj’ good business. His beginning promised a successful future, and he was held in high esteem. About eighteen months ago he was married to Mies Nellie Scott, daughter of Adam Scott, a well-known grain dealer of this city, and it was regarded as a union mutually fortunate to both parties. Shortly afterwards Mr. Soott, who had tho most implicit confidence iu the integrity and business qualifications of his sou-io-iaw, became the endorser of Mr. Spotts on a note iu bank for $6,000, which, it was understood, w r as capital that could be used in the latter’s business to great advantage. Other notes were brought to Mr. Scott by his son-in-law, from time to time, to all of which he freely and unhesitatingly gave the value of his name. These notes, it was supposed, however, were simply renewals of the original obligations, with one or tw T o exceptions. It was “all in the family,” and the customary rules of business were suspended. Mr. Scott supposed that his liability on the account of his son-in-law was about $12,000 or $15,000. Last March Spotts failed in his business, and Mr. Scott was almost paralyzed with astonishment when he was called upon to pay $48,000, wliieh was shown to be tho amount of his liability on the paper of his son-in-law bearing his indorsement. Mr. Scott found that his confidence had been abused, and he became more oareful iu his dealings with Bports, who confessed that he had lost the uionej* in margins. tie seemed to sincerely repent his recklessness, and in the remorse over his misfortune, resolved to never again speculate. The loss wa? adjusted by Mr. Scott, who assumed charge of the business and gave Spotts an opportunity to regain liis standing by making him manager, in this capacity he handled little money, R e applied himself closely to w’ork, and his conduct during the first few weeks gave some assurance that he would overcome his misfortune. Last week, however, Mr. Scott discovered that there was not aH much grain in his elevator as it was shown had been purchased. An Investigation was begun, and it was found that Spotts had reported purchases which had never been delivered. He bad given the numbers of care, together with tho names of the persons from whom ho claimed that he had purchased grain, and bank checks had been given accordingly for payment by Mr. Scott, who suspected nothing wrong, because it was not clear in what wa5 r there could be any swindle, the checks being made payable to the person from whom the wheat was alleged to have been bought. The money obtained in this way will amount, Mr. Scott thinks, to between $6,000 and $7,000. In the transactions by which the money was obtained, Spotts had an accomplice—the person to whom the checks were made payable—who, it is said, is a resident of this city. After the scheme was discovered, Spotts confessed his guilt to his father-in-law, aud last Saturday night he left the city for Chicago. A letter received ytsterday from one of his acquaintances in that city stated that he had obtained employment and begun work on Monday. Mr. Scott stated to a Journal reporter last evening that he had not yet learned the full extent of the operations of his son-in-law. He believes that the money which Spotts obtained was lost iu wheat speculations. “He lias acted badly, very badly.” Mr. Scott said, in speaking of the matter, ‘“and I know of no reason why I should attempt to shield him. From his manner, he seemed to repent his conduct as much as possible, and went to Chicago with the hope of obtaining employment there and again getting a start. He was offered a position there last spring, when ho failed, but remained here, with the determination, as he then declared, of regaining his business standing.” Spotts was one of the governors of the Board of Trade, but having failed to be present at three successive meetings, without giving any excuse for his absence, his position was declared vacant, and Joseph K. Sharp, jr., was elected iu his place.

The Fnglish-Peelle Contest. The taking of testimony has begun in the contested election case of Hou. W. E. English vs. Hon. Stanton J. Peelle for a seat in Congress representing the Indianapolis district. The matter has been kept very quiet, and the testimony will not be made public until it goes to tho congressional committee. The depositions are being taken at tlie law office of John R. Wilson, who represents Mr. English, while Mr. Peelle is there in his own interests. Several politicians have given their statements thus far with particular reference to the kind of a ticket used by the Republicans at the election last year, but no testimony has yet been taken regarding the allegations of fraud aud illegal voting. A Hoy Declared Insane. Edward August Schuler, aged eighteen, was brought into the Criminal Court yesterday on a charge of having stoleu $8 from his step father Henry Suhr, No. 535 south Illinois street. It was evident from his talk aud actions that he was of uusound mind, and an inquest de lunatico inquirendo was held by Justices Pease and Walpole, and Doctors Selraan and Cri9t, and they decided that the boy was insane and should be sent to the asylum. His mania is the result of venereal disease. An Art Exhibition. Miss Daisy Burgess will give an exhibition of the work of her art class at her studio in the Fourth Presbyterian Church cottage on North Pennsylvania street, on Thursday afternoon. Tho pupils have made admirable progress under the leadership of their accomplished teacher, and all who arc interested in decorative,firt will be repaid by an inspection of their work.
