The morning call., 1894-04-20

be on hand at an early hour tomorrow
morning to prepare his soul for the great
leap into eternity. But Sullivan does not
seem to be religiously inclined. nor does he
grow In the grace of humility as the hour
of death approaches.
The impression among the eftleers ana
guards is that he will go the scaffold indif-
ferent to his fate and with bitter resent
ment and ha red for mankind In his neart.
His pride seems hurt because Warden
Hale has not visited him once since his in
generation in prison, and he frequently
referred to this fact in tones OF bitter re-
sentiment over this slight OF official cour-
tesy. He has taken only two small drinks
of spirits each day. and that by the phys
ician's orders. Sullivan says he will go TO
the galows sober. This afternoon he
wrote a letter TO Attorney Mack. thanking
that gentleman and Judge Lemon for what
thew had done and saying he was resigned
to die.
Sullivan chatted freely with reporters
and guards, on the deathwatcb. during the
first part of the night. He said he would
retire about IL o'clock. and expected to gel
few hours sleep. When asked If he had
any hope of life. he said. jocularly: "Oh.
l guess Markham will come ar nund about
5 or in the morning and throw open the
gates and let me out. It's strange. but
