''SILENT CORKEY" STILL SILENT.
Freedom Fails to Br^ak Convict's
Vow Made Years Ago.
"Silent Corkey'' Hanley, Massachusetts'
famous convict, who, ten years
ago pledged himself never to speak
again, spent his first day a free man,
after twenty-five years in Charlestown
state prison, still refuses to break
his silence, says a Boston dispatch of
last week.
Even though he experienced the
greatest thrill of his lifetime, he kept
his strange pledge. His first automobile
ride; his first sight of an electric
car, and his reunion with his
family failed to bring from his lips
the expected articulate exclamations
of surprise and joy.
He was visibly affected by the appearance
of Boston as he rode through
+ V>cv 1 fr TT- t Vi ci ototo Vi r>n oq in Wor.
dec. Shattuck's automobile. The
changes of twenty-five years brought
not a word from his lips?only a
strange gutteral sound and a complacent
smile.
Even at his sister's home, he continued
his silence, although the members
of his family begged him to
speak.
He answered his sister the same
way that he has answered the prison
officials many times since his vol-;
untary dumbness. He wote on a
pad of paper:
"I shall never speak again. My
tongue has got me into too much trou>
ble already." '
This was his first explanation given
lor his silence. He wrote a similar
reason for refusing to peak when jail
officers attempted to draw information
from him after he had been discovered
making counterfeit half dollars
in his cell. So far he has kepti
good his unique silence.
For ten years ''Silent Corkey" hasj
made all his communications by j
means of a pad and pencil. This was
the method he used today when he
-I J 1 ? A- 4-Vin
"was interviewed Dy repui iei s m mo i
prison office a few minutes before the
gates swung open making him a free
man. He asked about several newspaper
men who "covered" his trial 25
years ago, but seemed mostly interested
about his "museum."
* His "museum," as he named it, is
his collection of trinkets, toys, and
cushion covers that he has made in
his cell. For years he has whiled
away his hours carving miniature images
or making fobs and trinkets of
silk and bead work. Many of these ar.
\ /
tides have been sold to visitors at the
jail.
He values his "museum" at $10,000.
He wrote that it would take 25
good strong reporters to carry the
stuff away.

BLACK HONEYMOON.
p French Bride is Going to Put LovOr
to A Real Test.
Calling marriage "a tragedy for
which the mind must be adequately
prepared," Germaine de la Bodessiere,
fhft daahiner Freeh artist, has designed
a black apartment in which she and
her prospective husband will spend
their honeymoon before leaving for
the villa in the south of France, relates
a Paris d'*c atch.
The nine rooms of the apartment
are covered with black; some with
black velvet, others with satin; others
with linen or wrall paper. Curtains
and portiers are black, black I
is the furniture, black the bed, the
sheets and black the tableware, while
the bath tub is a huge block of black
marble.
The bride's trousseau is a mass
of black chiffon and Chantilly lace.
Onyx is the only stone used in her
jewelry, while she has sent notes
written with white ink on black paper
informing her friends that only
black clad persons wTill be received
during the "trying" period.
Mile, de la Bodessiere's contention
is that if her husband is able to stand
the strain of a black honeymoon he
wTill face undauntedly the propects of
a brilliant future.
A Look at the Vote.
finoi mitfinme of the national
XJLtC uuui
election Tuesday is available, and reveals
a Republican victory of stupendous
magnitude. Senator Harding
will have 404 electoral votes against
127 for Governor Cox. In 1912,
Wilson received 435 votes against
88 for Roosevelt and 8 for Taft, for
this was a three-cornered fight, and
is not a fair comparison against Harding's
record breaking majority in
the electoral college.
The electoral vote for various candidates
since 1868 has been as follows:
1868?Grant 214, Seymour SO.
1872?Grant 286, others 63.
1 8 76?Hayes 185, Tilden 184.
1880?Garfield 214, Hancock 155.
1884?Cleveland 219, Blaine 182.
1888?Harrison 233, Cleveland
168.
1892?Cleveland 277, Harrison
