long subjected,

Yesterday morning Mr.. Haughey par
took sparingly of an early breakfast and
at o'clock, in a close carriage, left his
residence at Mapleton for the office of
his attorneys, Duncan & Smith. He was
accompanied by neither of the members
of his family and upon his arrival at the
office was Joined by Albert J. Beverage,
who from the time Mr.. Haughey was
made executor of Senator Joseph E. Nc
Donald's will. has been very close to
him in the relation of advisory counsel.
II was arranged that there should be
no appearance at the federal building I'M
til word should be received. through the
marShaPS office that Judge Baker was
ready to pronounce sentence. Mr..
Haughey was therefore given an easy
chair in one of the inner rooms of the
office, 10 which only his attorneys and a
very few intimate friends Of the sorrow
full old man. who called TO extend SYM
pathy, We're given access.
A Large Crowd Present.
Over at the federal building there had,
for some time. been gathered quite a
large number of persons, including repre-
sentatives of all the daily newspapers,
waiting until such time as the eX-bank
president should appear for the purpose
of going before the court to receive his
sentence. Among those present could be
seen several gentlemen who had been
for years business associates and friends
of Mr.. Haughey. 1t was an easy thing
to identify these gentlemen, for they
displayed none of the Indifference and
careleSsness of others around them. but
stood apart from the crowd in perfect
silence and with their countenances
marked very percepibly by expressions
of sadness or deep thought. Said one
of these gentlemen to a Sentinel report

would not be here but l wanted to
shake Mr.. Haughey's hand and tell him
that 1 was sorry for him. Certainly it is
as little as could be done for the old
man in so dark an hour by one who has
known him for many years and for whom
he has done many a favor"
Across the hall and in direct cOntradis-
tinction TO the gentleman who had
spoken so kindly, was a man who said
he had been "pinched" by the breaking
of the Indianapolis national bank and
had come TO the federal building to take
comfort in the degradation of the man
who had robbed him of his money. He
ventured to express the hope that Mr..
Haughey would receive a sentence of
many years Some one who was stand
ing near and heard the last expression

burdened with a stone in his body in
place of a heart.
The Judge Appears.
Shortly after o'clock Judge Baker
came from the elevator and passed with
a quick step through the crowd TO the
door of his office. fitted his key and en-
tered, seating himself by his table and
began the handling Of mail which he
took from his pocket. Ambling along
the hall came an old man with a Grip
pied limb. who was the first to enter the
room after the judge. whom he accosted
regarding the giving of a bond for the
release Of a relative who was under the
ban for an offense committed against
some one of the federal laws.
Il cannot attend to you now, my
friend" said the judge in kindly man
ner, and added: 4 have matter of
much more Importance before me at this
time. Come and see me again."
This much was heard through the
open doorway, and as the old man came
again into the hall and passed slowly
toward the stairs a young man re-
marked: HE seems TO be in trouble,
but I'll bet he's not burdened as heavily
as the one who is coming"
The crowd. which had in the mean
time increased largely in numbers and
included lawyers, court officers, reporters
and a miscellaneous class of curious
sight-seers, then filed into Judge Bakers
room and distributed itself about the
apartment. A fine, large easy chair,
heavily upholstered in Russia leather,
stood in the corner of the room near the
window. and a man was settling into il
when a gentleman standing close at
hand whispered quite audibly: Don't
take that seat; 1t is intended for Mr..
Haughey." The chair remained unoc-
cupied for the balance Of the morning
Within a few minutes Noble c. Butler,
clerk of the federal court, with a bundle
OF papers in his hand, came through the
and TO the side of Judge Bakers chair.
He was speedily followed by Marshal
Hawkins, accompanied by Smiley N.
Chambers. The marshal caused the
crowd to fall away from the door and
leave the approach to the room clear.
Haughey Brought In.
There prevailed in the room silence
which had become almost oppressive,
when some one at the door was heard to
murmur, There he comes" and imme-
diately John Duncan came into the
room, In company with Albert ]. Bever-
idge. Following closely behind them was
Mr.. Haughey. His step was rapid, but
IL was Enthusiastically that of a man
whose nerves were strung to the high
est tension. He shook several Of his ac-
quaintances by the hand. and saying
"good-morning" to the judge. who re-
turned the salutation- he .aSsed around
