After the governor went away, the
prisoners told the reporter that they
were each about 30 years old; that they
were born in New Mexico; that their
homes were at La Conception in San
Miguel county; that during their incar-
ceratlon they had been most kindly
treated by the sheriff and his deputies;
that, like the governor, the sheriff had
offered to provide them with every COM
fort and luxury they might desire; that
Father Antonio Fourchegu had visited
them four times and they expected TO see
him again to-day.
BOTH HAVE WIVES AND CHILDREN.
Vialpando said that he had a wife and
two children and Chavez that he had a
wife and five children. The formers
wife has visited him five times in Jail
and the wife and children of the latter
have been to see him once.
In his talk with the reporter Chavez
said that his confession on the scaffold
might occupy an hour and he hoped it
would prove warning to many against
the bad associations that had proved his
ruin. He invites all to hear him who de-
sire to do so.
vialpando said that he would make no
statement on the gallows; that he had
written out the story of his life and
given it to Sheriff Cunningham.
