stop the train on the outskirts of the
city, prison guards in uniform were
still sent to the station, while the war

and two guards was sent to Perrine
street crossing where the train stopped
and Gillette and Sheriff Klock Of Her
hmer entered the carriage.
The carriage was then driven rapid
ly to the prison. Gillette was escorted
up into the north corridor where he
was examined previous to being taken
to the condemned cells.
There was not the slightest appear

BY this time the search was finished
and Gillette was hurried down through
the wing to the bathroom, where he
was bathed, given new clothes and his
hair was cut. He was assigned to cell
2.
Gillette does not impress one as out
Of the ordinary. He is short, stockily
built, with dark hair that hangs
straight and with dark eyes, His face
is round and thick, his lips being full
and sensual.
Gillette's calmness was the most note
worthy thing of his reception. One
looking at him would not think that he
was under death sentence.
