Isanta Barbara Press.l

A Press reporter yesterday visit
ed Sprague, the man condemned to
death for the murder of Il. Wallace
More. Since the decision of the
Supreme Court, affirming the find
ing ia the District, no one has been
allowed to see or communicate with
Sprague except in the presence of a
Sheriff or deputy. A wooden
frame placed before the inner door
OF the prison keeps any person
wishing to talk to him at distance
Of about two feet from the door,
and the conversation is carried on
through a small grating in the up
per part of the door. Having ush-
cred the reporter into the outer
room, the jailor called to Sprague,
and Immediately was heard the
clank and thud of the heavy irons
which have been placed upon his
ankles to prevent any possibility OF
an escape. AS he approached the
grating a good opportunity was af-
forded to observe him.
HIS GENERAL APPEARANCES.
He is a strongly built man OF
about five feet ten inches in height,
with brown hair and whiskers, and
a clear gray eye; the forehead is
narrow and slightly retreating, de-
noting cunning rather than ability;
the cheek bones are high and prom
inent, and the mouth rather stern
and set. The face taken as q whole
is at first rather prepossessing, and
not that Of man whom one would
think capable of committing such
q deed. A second and more careful
look, however, impresses the locker
with an idea of great resolution
combined with cruelty. While
c6nversing his eyes meet those OF
his interlocutor steadily and quiet
ly, but rather as if they were made
to do so by an effort of the will
than from an innate frankness.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-11-11
AN UNSATISFACTORY TALK.


The reporter opened the CONVEX
sation by asking if he was aware
that the day had been set for carry
ing the sentence of the court into
execution. Sprague replied that
he had been told that such was the
case; and waited with an inquiring
look for the next question.
Reporter-Have you any hope
that the sentence of the Court will
not be carried out, or do you feel
that the end is drawin near?
Sprague-I do not know. l have
not thought much about it, and
have had no opportunity of con-
sulting with my friends and coun-
sci.
R-Have you any hope that the
Governor will interfere in any
way either by granting a reprieve
or by committing the sentence to
imprisonment?
Swell, you are better able to
Judge of that than I am. You are
on the outside and hear the talk
upon that subject, while 1 am shut
up here.
R.--Is any move on foot or will
any effort be made to get up petit
tion to the Governor?
ST. cannot tell, my counsel are
not allowed to see me and L have
not been able to talk to them
about it.
R.-They are allowed to see and
talk to you, as am doing, in the
prensence of the officers, are they
not?
S.-Oh, yes, but I wish 10 see
them alone.
Several other questions of the
same kind were met with the same
evasive kind of replies, and a new
branch of the subjec twas taken up.
Sprague was asked how he ac-
counted for the statements made by
Hickerson and Jones which bore so
heavily against him? He replied
that, il he lived long, the truth of
the procurement of Hickerson's
statement would be made clear, and
when the truth was known it would
astonish the world. Both state
ments and those of other parties
were perjuries, and were paid for
by the prosecution.
DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE DEED.
He said that he did not pretend
to justify the killing of Mr.. More,
and condemned it as strongly as
any one. He was a man who
thought and felt strongly, and
sometimes talked more than he
should, and had undoubtedly said
things about Mr.. More, and on
other subjects, which had preju-
diced people against him. He was
we'll treated, generally, in the Jail,
except the placing of the heavy
irons upon his legs, and that he at
tributed to the spite OF the Sheriff.
He. talked freely upon general
topics, but whenever an approach
was made to his own situation and
chances of escaping death, he be-
came guarded and evasive, saying
only that if he was to hang he
would hang, and if not he would
escape.
