Keeping until the day preceding that

where the crime was committed, and
where it must be expiated. On re-en-
terlng his old quarters at the jail,
BROKER shook hands with the inmates
as cheerily as possible, but he was I'M
able to conceal the effect which a reali-
cation of his situation has produced
upon him. He refrained from abiding
to the sentence of the court, except by
substantially repeating his remark
made to Judge Crosby, when the latter
asked him what he had to say why SEN
tence of death should not be pro-
nounced upon him: eff those who
brought me to this we're to hang with
me, | would be willing to hang to-day"
