iously around. His peevish ewes twitched
for minute or so and he threw away the
cigarette stump on which he mad been
chewing for q quarter of an hour. 1mme-
diately an electric car turned the curve.
Berkman Recognizes Two Friends.
Berkman peered through his glasses
eagerly in the direction of the car. Sud-
denly smile of satisfaction passed over the
criminals face, and, recognizing two men
seated in the car, he bowed politely. The
demeamor of the officers toward Berkman
ct once changed and their watch became
closer. There was a fear that an effort
would be made to rescue the prisoner.
Deputy Sheriff johnson whispered to the
officer by his side the result of his observa-
tion, and said the man that endeavored to
take Berkman from the wagon would have
TO kill him first.
When asked by THE DISPATCH repre-
sentative what he thought of the position
of his friends Bauer and Mold, the would
be assassin replied that they were all
right
sYour friends didn't seem to take very
much interest in your trial or defense, q"
continued the reporter.
"Oh, yes they did," answered Berkman.
'They would have done anything wanted
if L would permit them. l had several
offers from Pittsburg lawyers to defend me
free of charge, but I would not accept
their services"
''Don't you think you were very foolish
to do as you did and suffer all those years
in pr:son?" again asked the reporter.
Willing to Pay the Price.
''Not at all, SIR" replied Berkman. "Do
you think 1 didn't know when 1 came to
Pittsburg that was to suffer for this. 1
thought that would haug, and it was the
only pleasure 1 looked for. 1 meant to
kill Frick, and am very sorry didn't.
1 am not afraid at all at present 1 am very
happy"
pearanee at the trial, Berkman?"
81 liked it well enough. He was afraid
and 1 could see it. He did not dare look
me in the eye. He was shivering with
fear"
As Berkman uttered those remarks he
looked about with an air of triumph, and
said Mr. Frick might not be as safe as he
thinks he is As the penitentiary came in
sight and the big gates were opened to let
the wagon pass, Berkman began to laugh.
f'We are here" he muttered, and his fellow
convict turned from him with disgust.
When asked how he liked his company,
Shea said he could hardly have been in
worse. For the latter there were many
memories buried beneath the ground on
which the big building is erected. 1t was
on that same spot he had spent his first
term in prison, when the old house of
refuge stood there.
Received at the Penitentiary.
As both men entered the pen and the
massive doors closed behind them Berkman
glanced furtively around the great recep-
tion hall. Deputy Sheriff johnson was
greeted by Deputy Warden Hugh Mexican,
who smiled blandly at the prisoners. The
usual formula was gone through, and the
men were turned over to Keepers Robert
Graham and Richard Geyer. These officials
took charge OF the men and took them to
the bathhouse. Alter being thoroughly
scrubbed from heal to foot they were taken
to the clotheshouse and there they donned
the stripes. Berkman after dressing was
taken to his cell and locked up, apparently
satisfied with his fate.
Should he conduct himself in a proper
manner and live Berkman will leave the
penitentiary after 10 years and II montha
