“A TRUE FRIEND LOST”
PRISONERS’ TRIBUTE TO LATE MR. MATTHEWS A touching tribute from a most unexpected quarter has reached Mrs. C. E. Matthews, widow of the late Under Secretary of Justice and ControllerGeneral of Prisons. It is an address of sympathy signed by 54 inmates of the Witako Prison, and was sent through the chief warder. The signatories offer their sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Matthews in the death of her husband, to whom they refer-as “our revered chief.” “We have, indeed, lost a true friend in every sense of the word,” the address proceeds. “He had our best interests at heart, and he did and was doing bis best to help his weaker fellow men. We hope, indeed we know, that his life work will not be lost.”
