Osborne Attacks Missouri Penitentiary Reform Critique
Thomas Mott Osborne, former Sing Sing warden now lecturing on prison reform, criticized Missouri's penitentiary over Buck McKay a 1904 murder convict held for seven years. McKay, epileptic and dangerous, has been moved through asylums and prisons. Osborne argues no work program is suitable. The piece also mocks Osborne, Santa Claus truck satire, and Republican senatorial intrigues in Missouri led by Walter 8. Dickey and John C. McKinley.
