much so as the infamous interview with
Wilkinson. I have no doubt that
the whole matter was conceived In the
fertile brain Of some OF the Wit
nesses who gwore To 80 much cruelty
and inhumanity on my part. have
never met any OF the convicts who

istration who were not glad 10 Gee me

never had an unkind word from any per.
son about my conduct while Superintend-

My sympathy for any and all who may
be go unfortunate as to be committed to
prison Is equal to that OF anybody, but as
Superintendent, under tho oath Of Office,
the sense OF duty, for the benefit OF the
prison, was strict In enforcing the rules ;
and yet, never lost an opportunity to

pended by wire over the street, from
which hang the shssves that support the
motive wires. The wires supporting the
"cIoss.bArs" are 30 eTsctually insulated

everywhere and the unfortunate ones who
were obliged to be out OF doors suffered
many q hard fall in addition to being
drenChed by the steady, soaking rain that
continued 10 fall without interruption and
was still falling at 2 o'clock this morning.
There was big change in yesterday
weather. At 7 O'Clock in the morning the
Thermometer showed but degrees above
zero, and it was thought to be much
colder. The reason for this was that 1t
was a damp, penetrating cold that chilled
one to the bones. It commenced to mod
crate early, and by o'clock last ayening
the Thermometer had gone up TO the So
degree notch. Daring the day tho weather
was pleasant enough and large number
OF people were on the street,. Last nights

about it, and the company which presents
it Ia fully competent to do 1t justice.
Frank Jones as 81 Perkins, Is exactly fitted
for the character, and the character fits
him % snugly as II 1t were made for him.
Miss Alice Montague fairly divides the
honors with him, in On intelligent and
pleasing rendition Of her part.
