moved to more comfortable quarters, and is under
the direct charge OF Deputy Sherifs William
Shields and Michael Cahill. He now occupies the
same room in which Edward s. Stokes spent the
last year OF his sojourn in the Tombs. great
many Improvements have been made by his
friends, and it has now quite a cosey, comfortable
appearance. The noor is covered with a
carpet OF . dark green ground. The walls
are hung with dark green cloth, and
the panes in the windows opening on
Centre street, which were cracked and broken
few days ago, have been newly glazed. In the
centre Of the room is large round table, at which
the 'boss" takes his three regular meals served
up in the best manner from the prison restaurant.
There Is a luxurious earher.cOlored lounge in one
corner and five chairs, including large, comfort
able rocking chair. Besides these few articles OF
furniture are a washstand and bookcase The
prisoner is plentifully supplied with reading mat
ter and as for creature comforts, the socitude of
his friends and relatives leaves nothing to
be desired except liberty. Crowds OF people
have called to see him for the past two days, but
none we're admitted without passes from the
Commissioners. Among the number who gained
access to his room his son, William his
nephew, Frank Tweed, and his brother Richard.

mourning and heavily yelled, the other younger,
and in lighter colors, but also veiled aghted.

The ladies remained with their relative Tor at
least two hours. When they came out they were
handed to their carriage by Frank Tweed, and
were Immediately driven away. Willard Bartlett,
his junior counsel as also his senior counsel spent
the greater part OF the afternoon with the prisoner
Counsellor Howe, Also was in consultation with
him for long time. All who have seen the 'Boss''
concur In saying that he bears up remarkably well
and speaks very hopefully OF the result OF the effort

meals with seeming gusto, and cracks a joke now
and then with his Keepers, the deputy sherids.
