M0RTENSEN WEEPS
IN PRISON CHAMBER

Mcrtensen broke down and wept
Yesterday morning. He did not make
a sound or say a word. but the tears
cOUTsed down his cheeks. This is the
first time since his arrest that he has
evidenced any emotion, and the Oc-
casiOn of his tears was a meeting be
tween himself and James Sharp, the
father-in-law of the murdered man.
Yesterday morning before the funeral
Mr.. Sharp called at the station and
for the first time since MOrtensen's in
generation went into the room to see
him. As Mr. Sharp advanced to the
small stove in the room 1TOrtensen
arose and walking toward him ex-
tended his hand.
NO" said 81r. Sharp, 4 cannot take
your hand. Ny boy was in your COM
Dany when he was last seen alive, and
1 cannot touch your hand until this
thing is cleared up. You can see that
have been crying, 1 think, Mr.. Nor
Jensen.
Yes replied Mortensen.
Can you think what I have been
crying about?" asked Mr.. Sharp.
Il suppose about Jimmy and his fam
ily,' replied Mortensen-
Yes" replied Mr.. Sharp, about
them, ard I have been crying about
another poor little woman and her
children-yCUr poor wife and her chill
dren"
Mortensen did not make reply, but
dropping his head uron his bosom
wept silently while Mr. Sharp left the
room. The police tried to induce Mr.
Sharp to press Mortensen for a con-
fession at that time, but Mr.. Sharp
would not. saying that he did not want
him to confess to him.
MOrtensen. it is said, resumed his
usual uncohcern a short while after
ward and remained in that way the
rest of the dsy, saying nothing at all.
The officers did not attempt to sweat"
a confession from him yesterday, and
but few people saw him. His brother
Henry and his sister-in-law spent a
short time with him yesterday after
