The Oshawa Daily Reformer mre 54--NO. 208 FUTURE CRIMES PLANNED WITHIN PRISON WALLS Last Message of John Stanton Baker Warns Others Lest They Follow BLAMES PARENTS Capital Punishment Blot on Escutcheon of Civilization, He Says (By Canadian Press) Winnipeg, Man., Mar. 3.--"With- in prison walls many future crimes are planned and youths, most of them first offenders, are taught by sentence, which was carried out here while awaiting execution of his death older and hardened criminals that they will sucgeed the next time, This was the charge of John Stan- ton 'Baker, convicted murder of 70-year-old John Penny of Winni- peg, in his last message, written on February 9th, last, : The contents of the message were made public by Rev. George a. Woodside, who actea as spiritual adviser to the condemned man. "I want to warn others," Stanton wrote, 'lest they follow in my foot- steps, the desire to do wrong but rather to serve my own selfish purposes. Self-preservation was the only law I knew, I didn't know the differ- ence between right and wrong. I was following the path of least re- sistance." Stanton spoke of his first convie- tion and freedom, He had sought to go straight and looked for em- ployment, When he had answered truthfully guestions put to him, he was told that *jailbirds" were not wanted. When he lied and got work, he was found out and dis- charged. Wherever he went, the stigma of crime had pursued him. "It seemed," he said, "as if every door was shut against me except the door of vice and crime. ' "What would I do If T got my freedom again? I believe I would live a Christian life and try and help those down and out to see the error of their ways as I never saw it until now." In assailing capttal peanfshment Mr. Woodside maintained it was a "blot'"' on the escutcheon of our civ- lization and the sooper abolished, the better. "It is a thousand-fold more horrible, however when we look at the causes of which it is the con- sequence," Mr. Woodside, said. "If we are to remove it effectively, we must strain our sinews as a Christ- ian nation to abolish the cause. There is one cure for crime, The human heart must be regenerated." Mr. Woodside blamed the par- ents for the delinquency among children. The mothers and fathers, he thought, should train their child- ren in the difference between right and wrong, they should take greater interest in them, be companions to them and watch their amusements, All I ever did was without Published at Oshaw.

In the presenting of plays! the local students have won thes, selves a place in the hearts of Osh- awa people Dy their stellar work in the comedy, "Mr. Bob," which was put on last year. Probably no play given by amateur talent in Oshawa has attracted more favor- able criticism and well-deserved ap- plause than has this play apd on their reputation won last year the students should have a large audiy ence on Friday night. The play which is being present~ ed this year is the *"Trial Scene" from "Pickwick Papers," Charles Dickens' famous book. Those tak- ing part have been practising for more than a month and know their parts almost to perfection. While the play itself does not compare as a comedy with "Myr. Bob," those in charge of its direction feel that it will meet with great success and those present on Friday evening are sure to enjoy it. Besides its comie scenes the play gives the lovers of Dickens a chance to see the writings of their favorite au- thor changed into drama and on this account it should prove popular. The play is being directed by Mrs. Adams who was in charge of last year's production and to whom much of the credit for the execel- lent showing of the students last year was due. The details regard- ing costumes and setting are in the hands of Miss Tuttle, Miss Armstrong, and My. Holmes, all m------ KIDNEY SIAR members of the High School staff who had charge of this work in the presenting of "Mr. Bob." The principal parts are being taken as follows: Mg.
