affected and took his sentence with a
bored expression of countenance. No

from communication with the outside

heard: no word of farewell to his heart
broken relatives was spoken as he
passed from their sight his only
thought and request were for some
candy and box of cigarettes. With
these he contentedly boarded the train
which bore him to Sing Sing prison AS
he is the smallest prisoner who ever

entered upon with no sign of dssa. s.
