FIRST STREET CROSSOVER.
resident william. Explains tine Position


Of the Il chmond Traction Company
Mr.. John Williams. president OF the
Richmond Traction Company, when asked
yesterday about the cross-over at First
and Broad streets, which the company
has removed, in obedience TO a resolution
Of the Street Committee, said:
"The taking up of this cross-over was
not only a hardship 10 our company, but
Will also result in very serious incon-
venience TO the travelling puolic. 1t IS
not true, as has been stated. that the COM
pany could. with equal facility reverse
its cars al First and Broad streets ny
using the Y at that point. II -hece Should
at any time be any interruption 10 or
current on the Broad-street line in that
vicinity, not only would the traffic on
Broad street be stopped. but also the
traffic on the First-street branch from
Broad street would have TO be suspended.
for IL would, Of course, be prac;i- ally i'm
possible for US 10 transfer our cars from
one track to another by using tie Y at
the corner of First and Proad SIR its, 40
there would be no current IN the over
head wires OF the Y, and II would not,
OF course, be feasible for us to haul the
cars out in the middle OF Broad street,
reverse them and then haul them back
to the other track without current An
interruption Of current on Broad street
would not have necessarily affected the
current on the First-street line, where
the cross-over was. as the feed wires OF
the two were distinct and we could have
turned cars back on the cross-over with
out delay.
Moreover" continued Mr.. Williams.

and pencil are given to them. Those who
wish to smoke may have pipes and tobacco,
and even cigars are furnished when pref
erence for them is expressed. But the
cigars are among the luxuries which come
only with the bitter end
The place where these people are con-
fined contains eight cells, larger, lighter,
better ventilated and better furnished than
any others in the institution.
But they are more carefully guarded
also. Two men are constantly on duty
there and the cells are so arranged that
the occupants are always in full sight. In
describing them Warden Sage said:
1.-The floor of the condemned cells is
about six inches higher than that of the
room into which they look. This and the
fact that the whole front of the cells is
open, except for the steel bars which run
from the top to the bottom, make it easy
to keep a thorough watch on the occupants
In each Of the cells there are a cot and
table. The inner space is about by
feet, the sBylights give perfect light by
day, and there are many electric lamps in
the place for use at night.
1.-The stories that men go to their death
without emotion, " said Colonel Sage, "are
not true. All the men who were executed
here realized keenly the horOrr of it all.
Hermann was the least nervous man of
all. He never flinched when he was told
that there was no hope, and he was COM
posed when the day of execution came.
But at the last moment he begged that he
might be tal'en out to be killed before
Postalka. His cell was nearer to the ex-
ecution chamber, and we granted his re-
OueSt The removal was made so Noise
lessly, so stealthily, that L doubt whether
the other man knew anything about it. A
popularity about Hermann was that when
he shook hands with his keepers his grasp
was firm and his hand had an apparently
normal temperature, while the hands of
the others were not only unsteady, but
clammy. DIR. Buchanan's were absolutely
wet and cold. !"
Many people believe that alcoholic slim
ulants are given to the men before they
are executed, and reports have been circu-
lated that one man was unable to walk to
the place of execution because he had taken
too much brandy. Colonel Sage says that
not one drop of alcoholic stimulant has
been given to any of the men who have
been executed since he came to the prison.
One man asked for a cup Of extra strong
beef tea short time before he was killed.
and another wanted some strong black
coffee. Both requests were granted.

How Prisoners Under Death Sentence Are
Treated at Sing Sing.

Treated at Sing Sing.
| The man who goes to the New York
state prison at Sing Sing to be killed for
murder is treated better from the first mo-
ment of his arrival than the one whose pa
pers read, Murder second degree; life,
or even the one whose credentials for citi
zenship in the striped community name
nothing more serious than larceny The
ordinary nalefactor is shOrn and shaved
stripped of every vestige of clothing with
which he may have come from the sun
shine of free life into the gloom of degrad
ing captivity and is hustled away to lit
tie, dingy cell, where, over piece of bread
and a dipperful of "bootleg coffee" he
may Illuminate over his condition.
The condemned murderer is neither
shaven nor shorn when he comes to the
prison. He is Invested of contraband prop
erty, but is allowed to retain the clothing
in which he arrived, and is taken to one of
the condemned cells and has a bed and
other accommodations far better than he
had while on trial. Prior to his coming
every movable article had been taken from
the cell and new ones had been placed
there by trustworthy people. Having been
thoroughly searched before his induction
into his new abode, the condemned man is
looked upon as safe against himself and
secure in the grasp of the law. The object
of the prison authorities from that time is
to make the mans existence comfortable,
and they usually succeed. The food for the
men in the condemned cells is not prepared
with the regular prison food by the mess

kitchen and is in every way superior.
