SING SING, n. V, July 3.--This is a rateful
day for the four murderers condemned TO die
during the week beginning at midnight sun
day.
Unless their lawyers make n successful eff
fort to-day TO stay execution, Slocum, Smiler
Wood and Jugiro will not live to see another
Friday. In all probability their deaths will
occur Monday morning.
so impossible Is It that all ar any OF them
will obtain delay, that Warden Brown has
issued the Invitations to the witnesses re-
Quired by law at the electrocutiDn. These
were delivered late yesterday by confidential
messengers.
For the first time the condemned men began
to betray anxiety this morning. That is, two
Of them did. Wood, the negro, and Jugiro, the
Jap, are so resigned to their fate that they
give no heed to the flight OF time or display
any interest In earthly things
But slocum, although he only yesterday re-
terated his preference for death to solitary
confinement, this morning appeared anxious
as to the movements OF his lawyer.
Smiler was palpably nervous. He knows
that the claim that he was not properly rep
resented on trial Is a specious one: thnt he
was defended by three lawyers, John j. Halli-
gan, Philip l.. dwell and william F. Hickey,
and that II was not until after his conviction
that he asked John X. Teinzelman 10 take
charge OF his case.
Knowing this, smiler knows that his law
yers have not the slightest ground to ask for
a delay in the execution OF his sentence, and
that Lawyers Roger NJ. Sherman and Ambrose
II. Purdy, each OF whom has made the state
ment that an appeal would be taken on the
ground that Smiler was not properly repre-
scnted on trial, although the United States
Supreme Court has already given an adverse
decision on this point, ei. her made the state
ment through ignorance OF the facts, or as a
simple bluf1.
When breakfast was taken in to the con-
demned men, however, Smiler ate heartily and
did not begin his railings against law and the
lawyers until he had finished his coffee.
The murderers are allowed TO choose what
they viii eat, and their orders are sent 20 the
hospital kitchen every afternoon for the fol-
lowing day. Their choice for breakfast to-
day as here given, illustrates the tastes OF
the condemned men:
SlOcum desired fishballs: Wood, fish I;
smiler, hsh; Jugiro, sGrdines, herrings and
onions. coffee and bread and butter were
also served TO each.
The two whose deaths are yet far of ate
McIlvaine, fsh and boiled eggs; Trezza's or
der was anything" and boiled eggs were
sent him.
To show the variation in their orders, that
for dinner yesterday Is given: Trezza, any
thing; slocum, no order; Wood, bacon smi-
ler bacon, fried eggs and pie; McIlvaine, iive
boiled eggs and lemons; Jugiro sandwiches,
herrings and pickles
Jugtro Is a great Cigarette-smOker, and the
others have also contracted the habit, SO that
all the condemned men now smoke this deadly
form OF the weed.
Father Creden, the good village priest who
has previously prepared the murderers for
death, began his task again yesterday, for

their former habits OF indifference 10 religious
