Led by Walter Dorman, sentenced for life in connection with the famous Blddle boys case, the prison orchestra at the Western Pennsylvania penitentiary yesterday played a tender. God-spead Tor one of their number who will be released today. "Home. Sweet Home," was the selection the leader started on the piano as the convicts filed out of the chapel and it was for the benefit bene-fit of the fellow player .who, for seven years had beat tbe bass drum. A few straggling convicts who had not yet left the chapel caught tho air and began to hum Jt, and smiled congratulations on the fortunate one, who had pillowed his head in hi arms, crossed on his drum, overcome over-come by the little prison drama. Walter John Francis. "A-givo-a-man-a-chance" type of official, would not disclose the name of the prisoner, i and ae a result he will walk into tho world again unheialded that ho might begin life over.
