breakfast supplied by the prison caterer
and read with apparent composure the
morning newspapers, after which he at
tended the usual Sunday services.
The condemned man had but cone WIS.,

remained with the prisoner for about half

ed the room while discussing whether to
go to lunch or not, all were Of the same
mind and each thought the whole matter
could be finished in probably an hour at
the most, and in order to get to their
homes quickly they decided to forego the
lunch, and got along on the sandwiches. :
