Doyle," said Jim, ''and he told me that
he hated like the devil to go through the
streets with me, had so many friends.
Yes, and when we went into Godbe's
drug store Sherman set up the soda Tor
the whole crowd, he was so tickled to see
me. But DOYLE said be would be glad to
get me back again, SO / came along
Don't forget to give my regards to Doc:
Benedict and the boys in the drug store
FARLEY P PRATT, THE GYMNAsT,
And ex-poll-tax collector, was in his shirt
sleeves, and is getting on his muscle
ready to tackle delinquent taxpayers
when his services are dispensed with at
the Bastile. The calesthenic exercises
Pratt was indulging in with Indian clubs
will make him a hard man to "stand off,
when he is again allowed to jump the
male members of the community for IS
a head.
MIKE SULLIVAN, WHO KILLED oRRIcK,
Was in the yard, and apparently glad to
see the reporters. Since his incarceration,
Sullivan has gone, as the saying Is,
"crazy as a bedbug," and his appearance
and actions certainly indicate a state OF
dementia. After his arrival from Beaver,
for some refractory business, Sullivan was
put in the sweat-box, and there he got
the idea in his head that he was Fred
Welcome and was to be executed, and
exercised his lungs so vigorously plead
ing to get out that he became nuisance
around the place. Sullivan was born III
New Jersey, and seems proud of it. He
was raised in New York, and from the
yell he gave of "Sweet oranges, pies and
cakes" evidently at one time kept a
street corner apple-stand in the great
metropolis.
WELCOME, THE MURDERER OF JOHN TURNER,
Had had his supper and retired to his
quarters, on the south side of the in
closure, but the DEMOCRAT reporter caught
glimpse OF the noted criminal, in COM
pany with his favorite little black dog,
which constantly keeps him company,
and which is probably the only friend in
the world Welcome possesses. No per-
ceptible change is noticeable in the man,
and if mental stress is preying on him,
no outward sign attests it. Thrice con-
victed and sentenced to death, the day of
his execution set, he himself picking out
the chair in which he would sit to be
shot, reprieved at the last moment, and
the almost certainty that his next trial.
will result in conviction, Welcome yet
remains stolid and Indifferent. His nerve
is one in million; for murderers, be it
remembered, are generally towards.
BIANCoNY, A FRENCH SOCIALIST,
And disciple of the famous Louise
Michel, of Partisan fame, was discovered
sitting on the ground in the shade of the
second bunk house. Around him was
pile of literature, and before him, on
small dry goods box, was spread dia-
ry, in which he was busily writing.
Biancony is imprisoned for carrying in
to practical effect the result of Socialist
theory, having been caught in the at
tempt to carry off what belonged to some
other citizen OF the Republic, an offense
which the law terms house-breaking.
Biancony still believes in his theory of
equal rights, however, and while he is
musing in the Pen may probably elabo-
rate treatise wherein he will prove to
the world that he is right and the law
is wrong. Notwithstanding that the
pen seems to be run on strictly social
istic principle-every inmate being ac-
corded equal social, political and even
religious rights, Biancony will be perfect
ly satisfied to emerge therefrom at the
end of his term and breathe once again
the sitting atmosphere OF the worlds
monopolies.
wATRIN, WHO MADE BREAK FOR LIBERTY
About two weeks ago, and was recaptured
at Richfeld, Sewer county, now carries
around some heavy jewelry, in the shape
of shackles attached to his ankles, and
is handicapped considerably in any at
tempt he might make to beat his previous
record in the pedestrian line.
Biddlecome, Emerson, and the Indian
Queesch, are the three prisoners in for
life.
At o'clock three taps OF the bell an
nounced locking-up time, and the men
marshaled in line and filed into the bunk
rooms, one of the guards counting and
reporting the number as they passed.
| Then the bolts were drawn, and nothing
but the clatter from the confined human
ity inside indicated the slightest ANNA
| ton within the walls of the Utah Peni-
Tertiary.
THE decline TO ANSWER" CELL.
In passing outside into the free air, the
10x12 cell for the women was looked into
The single bed, chair, table and other
minor pieces of furniture, constituted the
stock of articles for the comfort of the
contemptuous. Scattered about the room
were many scraps of cloth, spool of
thread and some needles, which showed
Enthusiastically that some one besides a
train robber or cattle thief had been a
visitor there.
After bidding the corps of large robust
guards goodnight, with thanks to Mr..
Curtiss and Guard Franks for their cour-
tesies while inside the private grounds,
the scribes returned to Salt Lake, think
ing of the prison life OF a criminal and
guessing at their many reflections during
the long, weary days of Imprisonment.
