He read the words aloud slowly and

Most of the trip. the men stood
h~andcuffed together on the after deck.
Sheriff Hammell pointed out to them
the entrance to Mare island navy yard,
duck hunters boats scattered across
the boat and %leisurely dived again, all
without eliciting any comment from
the men. Hammell went on to tell
some of his feats as a dead shot, but
the brothers contemplated him grave

The sight of the penitentiary failed
to move them. and when they passed

Felix Zeehandelaer, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation Of Los Angeles. the brothers
backs happened to be turned that way.
Although the men were silent as
images today, John j. lay in his state
half an hour to Deputy Sheriff James
Gathers. to whom he took a great lik-
ing in his Imprisonment. To Gathers
he showed his plain gold cuff links.
"One of my brothers CAV me
these" he said. II value them more
than anything. 1t seems to me that

When he was searched today at the
~penitentiary he handed the links to
George Collins, a convict, who used to
be a San Francisco attorney.

other men who have talked with John

of LIES necessities which, it is declar-

which he underwent today, but con-
WINGED him that, right or wrong, the
dynamiting which he did and the dy.
namiting which his brother did, were
inevitable.
More than this, men in his conf.

laboring men eventually will recognize

The trip of the men from Loi
Angeles, where they were put on a
train Saturday night after 1t had left
the regular city station to CarIuines
straits was but little different to them
from their days in the Jail where the,
have lived since April &c. Anxious to
begin their sentence, their trip to the
penitentiary was accepted with sombre
relief.
Both men slept from midnight until
they were awakened shortly before Z
o'clock by MARITIME Aguirrc, a former
warden of San Quentin and now &
deputy sheriff. A cup of coffee and
some hot rolls scarcely had been eaten
when they were put On the boat fol
