opens out Of the main hall, and pair of
swinging, bullet proof doors have been sub

been standing, at the window, as he

reading newspapers, with his feet cooked
up on the wall. He looked up and Srinned
as he said Good morning but made no
attempt at conversation, listening quietly
TO the warden's description OF the bnilding:
His face looks bleashed and colorlcss and
has the wasted lock which sometimes fol-
follows dissipation, bait he has muscular
look about the shoulders, and his hands
and arms seem larger than those of most
men OF his height. The impression he
would likely make upon all observer who
knew nothing of his history, would he that
of selfconsCious, ssifsutlicient c,sotistical
ass, who considered; himself great man,
and wanted everybody to know it; and this
is the character the Warden told us that
he has sustained in she Jail ever since his
confinement. His exhibitions OF temper
and ferocity have been reserved for the
court room and the Jail guards have had
no trouble with him except when he De-
came frightened by fears OF assassination.

uncertainty of the acts OF Providence and
those of a petit jury.
