Cultured Prisoner Holds Aloof From Fellow Convicts

A PRESS dispatch telling of a certain noted man of culture and high standing who has been sent to Leavenworth prison, says, with perfect naïveté: “He holds himself aloof from all the other prisoners, and does not show the slightest disposition to make a companion of any of them, although there are a number of professional men and ex-bankers among the convicts.” Why, yes, since it is mentioned, it is somewhat remarkable that “society” should not be recognized and continued among “society folks” in United States prisons, when so many of them are there.
