They called him the crazy cop
But the district attorney won his
point. The jury found the policeman
guilty of murder in the first degree.
There was nothing else for the judge
to do than to sentence the man to be
electrocuted at Sing Sing. Ennis heard
the sentence and acted as though he
did not know what was happening.
They took him to Sing Sing. He was
weak and broken in health. He was
placed In one of the steel cages in the
death house and there the man sat, in
almost utter silence, for nearly two
years, while his case was being passed
upon by the highest court in the state.
During all these days and months
while Ennis was confined In the death
house he never spoke to one OF the
other condemned men. Although they
tried their best to entertain the con-
victed policeman he never spoke to
them. When the warden and the keep
ers attempted to draw him into a con-
versation Ennis would humble some
thing that they could not understand.
He would sit all day and long into'the
night, always in a crouching position.

earth
Except low much they know.
