William T. Fenton, ... was Warden of the Nebraska State Penitentiary [in 1926]" see Lincoln Star newspaper, Lincoln Nebraska, March 12, 1926. http://amazingfentontales.blogspot.com.au/ Report this Post to the Staff
Russia1981 Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 07/08/2012 11:00 pm Thank you, Peter THOMAS, I did not even think about this moment, now I did more search on William T. Fenton Warden and found this nice book I will try to read (always liked that kind of stories) "Hell in Nebraska" by WALTER WILSON published in 1913 in the last pages it is a little about the new warden W.T. Felton http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topi...es/jb001.htm http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topi...5.htm#chap40 Report this Post to the Staff
