slowly from the interviewed.
Alter this he would say nothing
about the shooting. He would laugh
and Joke about matters in the city and
else where. Bidding him good day, We
passed on to the cell Of
rHR BOY MURDERER.
He is q little fellow about ten years
Of age, bright eyed and with features
even and interesting. He is OF light
brown color, and his hair, which has a

upon his head. H. is intelligent look

THE MISSING DENNY AssAULTER.
William Allen. who it will be remrm
, bsrpd was missing when his com panion'
| Finn, Monahan, C"pp and Smith were
tried for the unhuman murder OF th'
aged color-d man Perry Demby, Ia con
fined in No.25 cell. He is about twenty
one years Of age, is fairly proportion-t
and hss a sensuous expression. From
the evidenc. at last court against tn
youpg men above mentioned it Will D.
. remembered that Allen was in tn
crowd when they assaulted Demby.
After these young men had been &C
quilted he returned and IT was while II
T, this city that he was arrested. Durlnt

Q PRISONERS UNDER SENTENCE.
Harley G. Brown has brep SICK som
q time, and he looks as though h- wa
: falling. There is no doubt but wha
8 the confinement Is wearing terribly up
8 on him. He is given the lib-rty OF tn
jail and he wanders around listlessiy
. with head bent and look OF deep de
!, lection on his face. He addresses NJ
: one: but when addressed he speak
! kindly and seems thankful Tor the in
terest that prompted you to speak. ii
i hopes for pardon from the Governo
and seems anxious to meet him.
Yesterday he was in his shirt sleeve
. and walked about with his feet encase'
. in slippers. On his head he wore tn
q only "reminiscences Of his early occupa
y tion-a brakeman's hat. By this stran
gers know him. HI does not like
= speak of the Claymont affair and eve
r now when 1t is mentioned a shadow
d pain CROSSES his sunken features.

other capital prisoners who are In TO
. life. az fellows: John Till, Alfre
q Boyoe, Mary Mstssr and George ORA
