Somery remarked the change of tone. He
looked a~nXiuusly from one to the other.
What is it? Have you two 9uarrelled? ?"

began to talk u Somery. Lucy waited; Her

Rogers would not have II: he would not ad-

Presently she went indoors, and cam out

A Death Watch Didn't Keep Louis L.inEE
from suicide.
'trrcIAL TO THF EVENING WORLD,

'EPTcIAL TO THF EVENING WORLD
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. a. The representa-
tive Of The EVENING WORLD lately inter-
viewed Sheriff Ma'son in regard to the prac.
tice Of putting a death watch on criminals
condemned to die.
Mr.. Matson is the brilliant gentleman who
Nll'wed "Boodler" MoGarrigle to escape
by the bath-tub route two years age.
lie is also the individual In whose care was
l ouis Lingg the condemned Anarchist, who
blew off his head with a bomb a few days
before he was TO have been hanged.
MI. Matson is decidedly in favor Of putting
q watch on condemned criminals.
1t is necessary" said lie, "in order to
prevent them from committing su eide. A
man gets desperate in the face of death and
makes up his mind to kill himself rather
than die on the gallows.
Another thing. as the hour of his execu-
ton approaches, q murderer in his despera-
ton is likely to devise and carry out some
scheme of escape. of which. in his other mo-
ments he would he incapable"
That the death watch plan is not an alto
gether sure preventive of the suicide of MUIR
derers is shown by the fact that although a
death watch was placed on the Anarchists
two weeks before they wero to be hanged Mr..
Llncg managed to escape the moose.
The general feeling here is that there is
something OF usefulnes s IN the death watch,
and not u little of utter worthlessness.
The laws of this State do not prescribe a
death watch, mi leave the matter to the dis
erection of the Sheriff OF each county,

criminals as are appointed to die. and so far
as he knows II Is invariably done.
sheriff Spaulding announces several rea-
sons for this, the principal one heinz that
the Sheriff must use every precaution to pre-
vent the escape or suicide OF the condemned.
In other words, he must produce him a i've.
II possible, at the time specified for oxecu-
ton.
When a prisoner realizes that he must
surely die an ignominiou death. he is very
apt 10 become desperate and resort 10 suicide

sometimes, too, If he IL harboring II gru lge
aea,nst any one WHO must come II contact
with him there is danger OF violence.
Many condemned murdererS prefer n death
watch he s n all agreeable-as they like
70 talk. and forget as near ms possible their
impending doom.
A we!l-known Hartford lawyer concurs in
Sheriff pau ding's opinion that there IS no
law IN Connecticut providing n dea h W tch.
In the lawyers opinion a dea h wa,ch IS
put ov'r a condemned murderer simply to
guard against the gallows beng cheated.
Eighteen years ago Wilson the convict in
the connecticut State Prison who murdered
Warden Willard, was hanged in HarIfor /.
] his criminal almost succeeded in killing
himself early on the morning of his execution
by driving a piece of poiu,ed wire into his
heart.
He was undoubtedly in a dying condition
when carried to the gallows.

Lucy rose as she turned round. Her arms
hung straight best 9 her. but there was a de-
termined look on her face.
Mr.. Rogers can advise you better than [
can. l should have, said, stay on here;'
but, then, 1 don't understand business"
He looked very sad, and she could hear a
sound of reproach in his voice.
" There's no money to pay men or rent

not care to trouble Rogers with. thought"

said, pleadingly.
She gave nm a cordial smile.
II wish it had been more, father; then
you might have done without 80 much help

There was o pause. Lucy stared into the
opposite wall, with her hands clasped behind

Walter Player was standing near the cart
shed. HIS lace was full of discomfort. 1t
did not brighten when Lucy came up to him.
Good day" She had not seen him for
some time. He now took his meals IN the
kitchen with Mrs. Jakes. " Have you heard
that we are to leave Low Edge 2"
He put up one shoulder and looked uneasy.
It's bad enough as it is. Why do you

Lucy bowed her head, and a red flush came
In her checks.
