  See query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C0CE7DA163FE633A... "CONVICT ROAD WORK TRIED IN NEW JERSEY Commissioner Stevens Describes Successful Experiment and Tells His Plans. WOULD TRAIN THE CONVICTS Perfect Work Demanded of State Laborers for Benefit of Roads and Themselves. January 12, 1913, Sunday The experiment of convict labor on State roads, which was proved to be a success in one week, is only the beginning of good road building beyond what we already have and at a price which will spread out the money of the State beyond its present confines," said Col. Edwin A. Stevens, State Road Commissioner of New Jersey, the other day."

  It might just be me, but this actually looks like it's spelled Garretty. Only because the other a's are so clear, that last 'a' actually looks like an 'e' before the t's. Not that it's a huge deal.. just stating my opinion ;)

• Juan Antonio Armijo Gaete said:

  The handwriting on his head: Garretty.

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Thanks for pointing the spelling out, you're right in saying that it looks as if it is spelt with an 'e'. On the report attached to the photograph, the person who recorded Thomas' details have spelt it with an 'a', which is where the conflict lies, but this has been changed now in the caption for this image.

  Do I win a cookie for catching it?? ;)

  It is sad that most of these convicts were caught stealing clothes or food. They probably needed it.
