the TombS prison occurred on Saturday

st. Andrews, Catholic Church.
Among hose who were escorted TO the
confessionals were Bertha Claiche,
awaiting sentence for the murder OF
Gerdron, and Josephine Terranora,
charged with the murder of her uncle

and hardened offenders Of both sexes,
fell in line, so that the ccnfessionals
were kept busy. Yesterday Father
O'ConnOr administered communion in
the Tombs.

make drive, judged by his manner of
standing at the bat. The value of his
observations was demonstrated on Sat
