HIS PLEA A CONFESSION
Ford Seems to Regard 1t as a Par
tial Atonement.
He Has Seemed Less Afraid and Much
brighter Since the Court Pro
ceedings Yesterday.

Irving Ford passed yesterday and last
night quietly at the jail. When brought
back from court yesterday afternoon, where
he had been taken to be indicted by the
grand jury, he appeared TO be more at
ease and free from fear than at any time
since his capture.
He was very badly frightened when
taken from the Jail TO appear before the
court. and the old terror came back to
him that he was about to be torn to
pieces by mob, or burned alive. He did
not understand the nature OF the proceed
ings before the co1rt and could not be
convinced he was not about TO die.
When he reached the jail on the return
jou rney he was greatly relieved, and
turning to the guard. said, Deed, boss,
Use glad to git back The man feels
safe behind the great double walls OF the
jail. He does not appear TO fear death on
the scaffold.
He 8 convinced that he must die
and during the past few days he has looked
the fact squarely in the fact and resigned
himself to his fate After his wife and child
and sister visited him yesterday be was
brighter and said that now he knew they
had not forsaken him. He ate heartily
of the fool brought to him last night and at
once retired to the bed at the end of his
cell and was soon asleep. Worn out with
the days exciteenlnt he slept heavily all
night.
At the Sixth precinct station the cell in
which Ford was placed on the first night he
was brought to Washington has been an
obiectof mu uchcuriOsity. Policeman Creagh,
one of those who guarded him there, has
painted sign which hangs above the door.
In the center is a picture of the murderer
cut from The Times, and around it are the
words Irving Ford, the murderer of poor
Elsie Kreglo, was incarcerated in this
cell OH May Z, 8, and 8, 1896"

mittee of the Populist party July %, the
same day on which the convention of the

by monopollsts, corporations and capital
ists, the very elements that the POpulists
are most strenuously seeking to eliminate
from the economic system of the country.
