EYTINGE
By Charles Wheatley.
[In the State Prison of Arizona is a life prisoner who has made a
remarkable record. The _Delinquent_ has followed with great interest
Mr. Eytinge’s business career while inside the prison, and now,
through an article from the Ohio State Journal, presents Mr. Eytinge’s
story in part.]
Down in Florence, Arizona, in the State Prison they have penned up a
Daytonian for life on a charge of murder. This man went into prison an
outcast ready to die--or rather about to be killed by tuberculosis. He
had been a “con man,” forger and all-around crook, and today, seven
years after his conviction, he occupies a prominent place in the
business world.
The man in question is Louis Victor Eytinge, born in Dayton in 1878.
At the age of three his parents separated. His mother was a talented
musician, while his father had been actor, broker and gambler. Sometime
after the separation young Eytinge went to live with an uncle. He was
educated in the First District school, Central high school, spent two
years at St. Mary’s Institute and one year at the University of Notre
Dame.
