Officers at the Prison

The whole institution is under the management of a superintendent and assistant superintendent, subject only to the rules and regulations of the prison and the Board of Directors.

The superintendent and his assistant, Col. Peck and Capt. Wilkinson, have been already introduced to the reader.

Next in order may come the guardsmen, which consist of T. J. Johnson, Capt.; J. R. Perry, hall guard, and J. F. Ferguson, W. Fitzsimmons, E. Ryan, J. C. Israel, Samuel Ferguson, Fred Bauer, Jas. Wood, W. H. Wiltis, H. J. Monahan, George O'Neal, John Doran, C. G. Reynolds, R. W. Maupin, J. Monahan, C. H. McCarraher, and H. E. Hogan, night guard. W. B. Humphreys, Esq. , is superintendent of the works in the shops.

Major C. W. Wickham is chief engineer, and has held that position for a long series of years. The Major is well-known throughout the State, and is certainly a very popular fellow. His Falstaffian figure, good-natured face, and extreme delight in getting the job on "the other fellow" is a solid fact not easily forgotten by the other fellow, (until he gets even with the "coon.")
