to President Coolidge for considera-
tion for Christmas pardons. was
based largely on emphatic disap—
mm at of the plan by the district
attorney's office in Connecticut.
Warden Shook evidently acted on
his own initiative. as the department
of justice received no application
from anyone representing 'Gilpatric

other than that of teaching him
the Braille system. used by blind
people to read. and the touch system
of typewriting‘ and handwriting. He
has made considerable progress and
is said to be confident of being able
to do clerical work upon his release
from the prison and earn money to
pay back some of what he misap

that we did not prove that 60 cents

"That argument is small and un-
