One by one the teams thai had gone out 10 meet
them joined la the crowd unni, when The process
sion reached Main street. at least fifty carriages OF
ali kinds Were following that containing Wilson.
As the carriages passed up Nam street their mum
ber increased till there were crowd OF vehicles Of
enormous extent. The crowd pressed TO the sides
OF The walls, rushing and cr0wding one anolner-al
anxious to get a view of the criminal.
Wilson appeared as If indifferent; but IL was
forced calmness. He talked freely with the Sheriff.
bjit took no notice OF the crowd that had turned
TO see him.
The carriage turned into Pearl street, ana in
few moments more James Wilson was locked UP in
the cell next 10 that occupied by the murderer
Starkweather and which he VIII not leave except
to go upon the scaff0ld.
Deputles Finch and Lord have been detailed to
watch him night and day. Sheriff Russell though
he has had many applications has refused to allow
Wilson 10 be interviewed by members OF the press.
This We believe, Is in accordance villa Wilson'S own
request.
