Brueggen Sons The "Black Baby" Is Nothing More nor Less Then a Twenty-five Pound Ball and Chain--Captured Convicts of Recent Mutiny Are Wearing Them. All have heard of the that is placed upon a desperate convict for punishment. All the men who succeeded in escaping during the recent prison mutiny at Fort Leavenworth and who were subsequently captured are now carrying "black about with them, with the exception of those who were killed or are now in the hospital for treatment. Nearly everyone is familiar with the fact that a "'black baby" is nothing more nor less than a twenty -five pound ball and chain which is attached to the ankle of the prisoner by heavy iron shackles and that wherever the convict goes he must take this black friend with him. The exact origin of the term "'black baby" is not known.

The name however, was probably the creation of a prisoner who had been a married man and who was compelled to sleep with his petulant offspring of six months experience in worldly affairs and arise at various periods of the night to give the crying child the attention which it demanded of him in no unmistakable terms. A convict would rather undergo almost any other purishment within prison walls than to be compelled to wear a It is a continual source of pain and annoyance him. At night when he is preparing to retire in his humble cot within the solitary cell he is compelled to lift the beavy ball up through the inside of his trouser leg before he can remove that part of his prison garb. Before he has finished this tiresome process he is puffing for breath. This done the next thing to do is to put his ball and chain to bed which must be done before he can get in.

The fact that he is compelled to sleep with this heavy piece of cast iron gives the convict much annoyance and in this respect it most strongly suggests the name that has been given it. When by much effort the ball is finally landed in bed the convict must then wrap the up in his blanket for there is nothing that will give a man the jim-jams quicker than coming in with cold unfeeling metal during hours of contact, the night. This done the prisoner gets in bed and wraps his about him and lies down to peacefully slumber-but not for long. In the course of his dreams he turns over suddenly and the steel fetter which fastens the heavy ball and chain to his leg slides down over his ankle and' he wakes up groaning with pain. He sits up in bed and adjusts the chain and the shackle on his ankle and then lies down again to slumber, but is ever and anon awakened by a sharp pain in the region of the ankle caused by the steel anklet which fastens his "black baby" to him.

The next day the convict goes to take a bath and he runs up against the "black baby" again. Before getting into the bath tub himself he is compelled to lift the twenty-five pound ball and chain and place it gently and tenderly in the tub. After having finished hie bath he lifts the "black out. He then follows suite and spends several minutes in wiping the water from the dripping impediment. The naughty boy within prison walls truly sees in the the "weight that doth so easily beset him' and he is never happy when his coal baby" is within the range of his vision.
