GETTING READY TO HANG
Awful Scene in the Kent
County Jail at Chestertown.
READING EIGHT DEATH WARRANTS.

Interview with the Octette of Colored
Murderers who Are to be Hanged on
January Is for the Foul Murder of
Dr. j. Heighe Hill at Mnlington
Last April-They All Know That
They've Cot to Die.
At o'clock on Friday evening, says
solemn scene was enacted In the Kent
county Jail. Il was another act In the
fearful Hill murder case.
Sheriff Edward j. Plummer read the
death warrant, issued by the governor Of
the state, to the eight condemned prison
ers-three men and five boys--for the
murder of DR.. j. Heighe Hill. The only
persons present besides the officers of
the Jail and watchmen were: j. A.
Pearce, ESQ, one of the counsel for the
prisoners; press representatives: Rev. f.
S. Dennis, pastor Of the A. NJ f.. Church
and Rev. John L. Wallace, assistant, of
the same church.
IL was certainly sad, solemn scene,
and can never be forgotten by those
present. The gloomy corridor on the
first floor was the auditorium for the
visitors, while the prisoners looked
through the grated doors and watched
anxiously every movement and listened
expectantly for every word.
The sheriff proceeded first to the cell
window of Moses Brown, the first man in
the row. Brown was already close up to
the bars, and as the sheriff read the fear
full document In clear and firm voice
the doomed man trembled slightly, but
said nothing,
Next was the cell of Fletcher Williams
the man recognized by all as the ring
leader in the fearful crime He too
listened In silence as the sheriff read
The third cell was the largest-the
centre, and the most pitiful scene of all
Here three boys pressed close against the
iron bars Of the cell and gazed out into
the corridor at the moving persons and
into their faces. Comegys, Baynard and
Emory listened intently at the sheriff
and watched, apparently, every word and
line upon the paper as they were gone
over. Comegys seemed least concerned,
though Emory's lips showed a slclSly
smile as the closing words of the sheriff
were uttered
The next cell was that Of Brooks-if
possible the full equal of Williams in the
black deed for which these eight are now
to die. He seemed perfectly calm, but
entirely subdued. and heard the reading
in perfect silence but with an anxious
look.
Finally, the sheriff stood before the
cell of the other two boys-Emory and
Hurtt. Their demeanor was an exact
counterpart of their three companions il
the centre cell. They listened anc
watched anxiously and in their gaze
eemed to devour every word Of the pag,
from which the sheriff read. The docu
ment read TO each of the prisoners wai
