Morse that he had violated a rule of
the prison and was in danger of being
degraded.
Morse continued his defiant attitude,
however until finally the warden said:
Mr. Morse. you may have been able
to be insolent to others before you
came here, but in this place l am your
master. and you must answer civilly
when ] speak to you"
Just what Morse's answer was could
not be learned, but it enraged the
warden TO the extent that he ordered
the ex-banker thrown into cell
known as 1.-The dungeon" which is
practically dark. For two days Morse
was kept there and given nothing but
bread and water.
Morse went into the dungeon last
Monday and was not released until
Wednesday night. He was forced to
put on a gray suit which signifies the
lowest grade and is given only to con-
victs that are rebellious.

they should bring the matter before
some other magistrate. Justice Conan
