mile away. In that section Of this beautiful
city known as East HILL"
McNaughton declared that his charge had
far less concern about his coming death
thar he himself had.
What does he say 2" the reporter asked.
''He says that he knows that he deserves
death. and that he is ready and willing to
receive his punishment"
Does lie manifest any interest or curl
osity ~ to when the summon will come ?"
"Never asks 4 question nor eyinces any
curiosity"
Does he not ask for his friends. nor
complain because his relatives have not been
to see him"
mo: he thinks that il q part OF his de-
served punishment. He got letter from =
Philadelphia lady that affected him very
much. though. 1t was Q beautiful letter,
speaking OF heaven and the blessed here
after"
Then you believe that Reminders con-
version is real and that he has brain power
enough to understand what conversion
means""
"Oh. undoubtedly. Ever since he had
that dream, in which he saw q wreath and
heard a voice saying. Come unto me that
was two weeks ago-he has shown in every
way that he is perfectly content to die. He
says he would rather die than live and run
the risk of being obliged to descend to his
old life and old associations"
Does he ever speak o! Tillie Ziegler. the
woman whom he so cruelty murdered 2"
He has only said of her that their life
was bad, that they constantly quarrelled
aud Shat Il NOT an tHaN astlnp ha pt1at I'LL
her or she would kill him."
1T has boon raid that Kemmler made his
will on Saturday"
"Oh, no; that Is not true. Weeks ago lie
said he wanted Mrs. Durston. the only true
woman he had ever known aud to him an
angel, to have his pictorial bible-Daniel in
the lions den and ali that. He gave me Il
book OF stories from the Bible. and some
photographs he distributed between Wemple
and me, TO take when he is gone.
"Kemmler passes his time as any ona
might who was Just getting over a long
Illness. He sits or lies on his bed or walks
mp aud down a little. lie sings a line or two
from some common street song, or whistles
softly. He has not as much nervousness as
one shows while waiting for a train. lie
seems in perfect repose.
To-day, while Electrical Expert Davis

adjoining Reminders room. William could
plainly hear the sounds OF preparation for
his death, but it had NJ effect on him in any
way. No, he does not start when there Is =
sudden or unusual sound, nor show any
when some officer opens any
door. lie is in the calm repOse Of one who
has made his peace with God and man.
Keeper William II. Wempls is not = devout
man like old Daniel, indeed he il = sceptic;
aud his report of Reminders last days differs
from Daniels.
lie rays Kemmler is to-day the same brut-
ISL fellow that he was a year ago to-day,
when he killed his mistress-the wife whom
he stole from his own nearest and most in
innate friend, ~forsAkIng his own bride OF
but two days.
Wemple says Kemmler governs his con-
duet by his surroundings. and that when
Mrs. Durston, the Warden, old Daniel
McNGughton or Parson HouRhton are pres

and sometimes forgets and sHeArs indie
Gently even while he is going through his
deVOtions with the eonhding Methodist
preacher.
The songs he sings are ribald. according
TO Wemple, the Jokes he makes are low. and
he frequently signs for the high old times
he used to have in Buffalo.
He has selected the reporters for his spe-
cial hatred, and sWeaTs roundly about
them.

gates at ? o'clock this morning, and to-day
two policemen are kept busy restraining the
