Indianapolis (IN) News, April 12, 1897, p. 1. NOTE: The item below was abbreviated from the original as noted by the ellipsis. SOME FAMOUS CONVICTS WHO WERE TRANSFERRED TODAY Jeffersonville, Ind., April 12-Of the life time men sent to Michigan City today, two are particularly interesting owing to the length of time they have been confined inside the prison walls. They are Alexander Fleetwood and Alfred Jones. The first-named has been in prison 23 years lacking a few days and the latter has been in 22 year last Saturday. Alexander Fleetwood was born in 1857 in Jackson County. When he was about 15 years old he and his brother were arrested and charged with the murder of John Hines of Salt Creek Township. He was murdered during a fight with a crowd of boys of which the Fleetwood boys were said to form a part. Alexander Fleetwood denies that he was present. Both boys were convicted and were sentenced to imprisonment for life. The brother died in July 1874 and on his deathbed made a statement in which he avowed that his brother had nothing to do with the killing of Hines. Fleetwood has had petitions for a commutation of sentence before many governors, but no hope of a pardon has been held out to him. Locked up at 15 years of age, he is now nearly 40 years old. In all worldly knowledge, he is as simple as a boy of 15. Only recently, under the administration of Mr. Hert, has he learned to read. Since his imprisonment, his parents and many of his relatives have died, but he seems to find hope in the fact that he has a sister still living in Indianapolis. When first imprisoned, he was put to making car wheels; he spent 5 years in the foundry and is employed in the machine shop. In all his long years of imprisonment he has never been reported for disobeying the rules of misconduct in any way. He says, "Thousands of men have come and served sentences and gone since I have been here. The whole place has been emptied of the prisoners and officers I have known, time and time again." The second oldest man in point of service is Alfred Jones.
