always felt that the Navigation Company
deceived or misled him in some way"
Were the foundation and stone rs good
on the State line rs where the dam was
built?'
Il think so. At all events, it would
have been cheaper to pay little more for
building one dam and overcome all obsta-
cles than to build two, rs it was compelled
to do"
What object would the Navigation
Committee have in putting the dam back
in West Yirginia?''
That's plain enough. They could
show that the Government had not slack
watered to the line, knowing well enough
that it would have to do 80, and that if it
built q second dam it would build at a
point completing the slack-water. This
would save the company some $4O0, 900,
and give them the benefit of the Immense
tonnage that will come from above, in
creasing their already enormous divi-
dends."
Dam No. 9 would open up great coal

morning Of the 10th there was q squad Of
handcuffed men, all arranged along n stout
steel chain and guarded by the now united
force, marching up Centre street and up
the hill to the great stone castle, from
which some never came again alive, except
to cross the street to the Court House, and
to walk to the scaffold in the prison yard.
In the chain gang were DOnnelly and
O'Brien. With Others they were tried for
conspiracy to kill and as assessories after
the murder. Conviction had become a
mere matter of form. On each charge each
was sentenced to seven years imprison-
ment. The cOmmutation for good behav-
ior reduces the sentence to eleven years
each, and this will expire justa year hence.
Their prison life has been made as COM
Portable as possible. MR. Donnelly, q
meek little woman with q care-furrowed
face, visits her husband every two weeks,
and occasionally brings one or two Of the
children, now growing to manhood and
womanhood. No one who sees and knows
her fails to express sympathy with her.
She has had hard struggle for ten years,
and her faithfulneSs deserves a better re-
ward than her husband can hope to give
her. Mrs. O'Brien does not come so often.
She spends much time with her sons in
Philadelphia, but she too visits her hus-
band rs regularly as circumstances will
permit. Neither ever comes empty
handed. O'brien works in the shoe shop
generally, but DOnnelly is in the warp
room. He has mastered carpet weaving,
and now has charge of department. He
has the run Of the corridor, and some
years ago under former warden frequent
iy sat at the family table or had his meals
served separately. He is fair clerk, and
his extra services were remunerated in
that way. All of the wardens have spoken
of them as the best and most faithful pris-
oners they have had, and none will hesi-
tate to recommend the communication, for
all have endorsed their futile efforts to OBJ
tain pardon.
