The prisoners in the cells, nearly all
negroes, who were unusually more or
less noisy with song and laughter, had
been as still as mice. Ii would have
been hardly possible to tell by ear
mat there were any prisoners present.
But a white woman from Thirteenth

placed in a cell about II o'clock and
she made things interes ing. At short
intervals she sent forth a "whoop la

after midnight and in due nourse of
