Every person convicted under the provisions of this act, upon

the confinement of such person at the State Penitentiary, the warden

thereof shall put the said convicted person to work at some suitable

employment in the State Penitentiary, at a reasonable wage, not to

exceed Two Dollars and fifty cents ($2.50), per day, and under such

rules and regulations as shall be fixed by the warden of said

penitentiary with the approval of the Governor, and such earnings

shall, by proper authority, be paid to the said wife, or other

person who is in charge of and caring for said child or children.

Upon conviction of any person, under the provisions of this act,

the Governor may, before or after sentence, parole said person upon

the recommendation of the trial judge in whose court he was

convicted, upon said person entering into an undertaking in the form

provided by the judge of said court, with two or more good and

sufficient sureties. Said sureties shall qualify and make a

property statement as provided by law, and the said bond shall be

approved by the trial judge before said application is made to the

Governor, and a certificate that said bond has been approved by the

trial judge shall accompany any application made hereunder. Said

bond shall be conditioned that the said convicted person shall

within ten (10) days from the first day of each month, pay to the

clerk of the court where he was convicted such amount as has been

fixed by the court for the support of said wife or child or

children, which money shall be paid by the clerk of the court as

provided herein for wages at the penitentiary.

Upon the failure to pay said amount within the time provided for

under this act, the said bond shall be liable to pay the sums due.

Said money, when paid into the court clerk, shall be paid by said

clerk to the wife or to any other person in charge of said minor

child or children for the support of said wife or minor child or

children.

When the terms and conditions of said bond have been violated

the said trial judge shall at once notify the Governor, and the

Governor may at once revoke said parole and confine said person to

the penitentiary under the conditions provided herein, and the

makers of said bond shall be liable under the terms and conditions

provided in this act, and any person interested may sue on said

bond.

Upon recommendation as provided herein for parole, the Governor

may suspend the sentence under the terms and conditions of this act,

and if the terms are broken and the suspension revoked by the

Governor, then the time such person is out on suspension of sentence

shall not be deducted from the term of sentence. Provided, that no

person shall inform against any one violating this act except the

wife or guardian of said minor children, or those having said minor

children in charge, or any public officer of the county.
