A man had been stopped upon the highway, robbed, and murdered. A young man, then scarcely seventeen years old, was arrested for the murder his own father giving the informa* II l62 MASSACHUSETTS STATE PRISON. Tion which led to his arrest. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged. At this point some good people began to inquire into his history : it was found that the unfortunate youth was terribly ignorant. He could neither read nor write ; had never seen the inside of a school-room ...or church in his life ; never heard the name of God, only as it fell from his own or associates' lips in the form of oaths ; born of drunken parents, he soon acquired their habits ; in short, at seventeen he was an ignorant, lazy, drunken vagabond, apparently without one redeeming trait in his charac- ter. He had become acquainted with and married a young woman quite as worthless as himself, and, in order to obtain means to gratify her vanity, which was great, he took his gun, and stationed himself in a wood by the roadside, with the intention of robbing the first person that passed.
