How He Likes His New Suit.
Outside and inside the Tombs yesterday MORN
ing IL manifest to even the casual OBJ
server that the day was to be signalzed by
great event. Deputy Sherins Shields. Cahil
and Rdgway passed the entrance gate
about hafpast nine O'Clock, ana were shortly
followed by Sheriff Brennan and Judson Jarvis.
In the lobby, outside the inner gate, groups of
ladies, who had evidently expected to find ready
admission within the walls. This little excite
ment was caused by the circumstance that cluster
of convicts were to leave the Tombs yesterday for
the Sing Sing Prison, and farewell words and looks
were to he given. On the floor OF the Tombs and im-
mediatey opposite the cells appropriated Tor mur-
derers, was file of men and youths. all arranging
their departure for Sing Sing. The names Of these
cOnvcts as follows Robert Fl cary, 20 years
Of age, convicted of burglary and sentenced
to four years and six months imprison-
ment; william Jones, Is years OF age

wALwORTH LEAVING THE TOMBs.
| The interest, OF course, was centred upon Wal
| worth. All the other men and boys were more or
less distinguished criminals, but their distinction
was lost by the public prominence OF Walworths
crime. The widow OF Chancellor WawOrth and Mrs.
Walworth, the mother OF Frank, arrived at the Tombs
few minutes before WalwOrth left his cell at the
Tombs forever, and had q short, private cOnversa-
| ton with him. That which was particularly no.
| ticeable was that there were indications of a
| scene on the part OF Frank Walworth, his mother
ana grandmother II there was any feeling

it was OF a pleasant description and only
| for time. Frank Walworth stepped lightly
from his cell, with jaunty air. he placed
himself by the side of Gncn, with jocuar re-
mark; the "bracelets'' were put on his hands, his
mother standing In front Of him to watch the op-
| eration and Deputy Sheriff Shields passed his
| hands around his clothing to see that he carried
nothing away with him that was forbidden
by the law. AS he stood there in the line OF con-
victs it was at once noticed that the gentlemanly
ana refined appearance that had distinguished him
his trial had left him by some mysterious means.
A more extended observation showed how this was.
For his elegant br0adcloth coat he had substituted
light gray tweed short coat, his hair had been
cut shorter, and he wore narrow brim white ielt
hat the smile upon his face and hts apparent indIf
| ference to his fate was the same kind OF defiant
bravado OF law that characterized the unquestiOn-
ably more hardened criminals, whose way Of lie

into the prison van, TO be driven off to the Forty
second street depot. Just as the convicts were
leaving for the van q beautiful basket of

All the ladies' and officials Immediately left the
Tombs, taking their last farewell look as Walwortn
stepped into the van. Mrs. Walworth, however,
took Fourth a. avenue car carrying the basket

Sing, encountering the annoyance OF the smoking
car, and would sit as near her son as she could
get. This, however, proved not to be the case. TO
a reporter OF the HERALD, who accompanied her
sy suc be on
the train, but should be satisfied with seeing
Frank at the prison and bidding him "goodby
there. She expressed her satisfaction with the
verdict Of course she would have much preferred
an acquitta and endorsed the views OF Mr.. Charles
O'Conor. as expressed in the published interview
In the HERALD.
ARRIVAL AT THE DEPOT
At the depot 1t was evident that the cOnvicts had
OUTSIDE well the wss
| sons, principally ladies' who had evi-
IDENTITY been waiting to catch
glimpse OF the distinguished prisoners,
the depot and put on board the smoking car.
Frank Walworth got seat by the side OF
the window and there was a rush from the
hun. The crowdlng in the car was quite op:
pressive, ana needed all the vigilance OF
the Deputy Sherins to keep It from press
ing unduy on the convicts. To a reporter
Of the HERALD, who sat Immediately behind
Walworth, he said that IL was amusing to see the
anxiety on the part OF the crowd to see q man who
had been victimized.
