To prevent any possibility of being
shaved as conviCts, Ingersoll and Far
rington secured the services of a Sixth !
ward barber named Howe on Wednes-
day evening This criminal artist took
off with few clean sweeps all the re-
dundant whiskers of IngersoH and con- /
signed to the dust the handsome mus
tache of harrington. Thursday morn
ing there was considerable excitement
in the Tombs in regard to what DISPOSE
ton should be made of the two prison
ers. 1t was understood that Sheriff
Brennan had allowed them more than
sufficient time to dispose of what pro-
perty they owned. Ingersoll is supposed
TO be worth 100000 and his friends
saw that on the day that Ingerson has
fulfilled his term of imprisonment, he
will bestow on Harrington the sum OF
$1,000 All these rumOrs tended TO
make amusement for the curious looking
crowd, who are in the habit of assembl-

ton had circulated a story that they
would take the convicts out through the
northeast entrance of the prison, while
it was their real intention to bring them
out through the northwest entrance.
Deputy Shields was closeted with niger
soil for long while, and the father OF
the rich chairmaker was allowed to see
him. Farrington's father also had an
interview with his son, but the wife OF

for himself, is an unmarried man.

something fearful to behold. A crowd

gazing intensely at the faces OF the poor
