order was arranged by the boys them

Each Of the boys carried with him to
the chair a crucif1x, the greatest earth.
ly symbol Of the Catholic church, into
which they were taken in communion
only few minutes before their death.
Their last act on earth was to kiss
the cross; their last earthly sight the
cross.
The most awfully pitiful thing of
the whole tragedy was the leavetak-
ing Of the three brothers and of Allen

the tier of cells reserved for those
condemned to death. Contrary to the
prison custom Of this state, the cells
in the condemned tier were not cur.
