swell" said the murderer, "that Ia what
expected"
it seems that Rafferty, thought his case would
not come up before the September torn Of tbs
Supreme Court; and, when his counsel told him
it would bo beforo the Court during the present
term, he did not like it, believing that hu1ying
up naatters would result p1ajudicially to him.

time, There WAS blind door on this cell. and
st night he could do anything he pleased without

Jailor Foltz considered it best to put him in No.
81, where he can he seen at all times by the
turnkoys and wa.chnon.
HE IS INTERVIEWED.
4 reporter called on him yesterday afternoon
received cordially. Rafferty,, Us is we'll known,
has always BEEN very reticent; and the
sight OF notebook causes him to
keep his mouth closed and to breath through
his nose. Therefore tho interview subjoincd
had to be written without his knowledge, the
notes being taken in the reporters oveTcoas
pocket

sESa1BLE.

Raferty--oh! you put in ten words for one
that is said.
Reporter II you would talk more, that tho
people might know huw you feel and what you
thnk, none Of the papers would misrepresent
you.

THE RRBE FAILS.
The reporter here handed Rafferty, cigar,
and tried to coax MIN into expressing his views
about himself, but he refused to be comnuuica-
tive, and further interviewing had to be aban-
doned-
It il understood that he will remain in the
Cook County Jail until about the Goth OF
February. A. he will be much safer thore than
at Waukegan. A close watch will be kept upon
him, and the frienda who visit him. It is doubt
ful il the Governor can be prevailed upon to
COMMUTE THE SENTENCE,
but efforts will ba made to that end By IA
Small and others. The punishment is meziteu,
and the general opinion now is that Rafferty,
will not again escape from the hanSnan-
MR. REED.
The State's-Attorney, though not absolutely
geoful at the result of his labors, could not sup
press his pleasure ~at the fact that tha opinion
WAS delivered BY Judge 3lcAllis.er. l. feltG4n-
fdent that this was IN end Of tho case, and thero
was not = particle OF doubt that the execution Of
the sentence would be carried out on the day
designated. From conversations ho had had
with Gov. Beyeridgo, ho felt suze that that of1i-
cor would not interfere in the matter He con-
sidered that tho execution OF Rafferty, would
have as beneficial IN effect On the poace OF the
city as the addition of 200 men 70 the pol1co
force for period of five years, which makes the
value Of RaHerty's execution to the public, in
hard cash, At his estimate, reach the sum Of
exactly ono million dollars!
