 Montvid Reconciled to Fate. s IaS ' ss < "A Herald man in s4 talk with MT. NIalinowsky this morning, learned that the condemned man is reconciled to his fate The indifference and coolness that was so marked in the murderer during the trial still prevails and he shows no outward signs of breaking down or nervousness. In his talk with MalinowsKy, Montyid stated that he is ready to go to the gaIlows and has made all preparations for his execution.
 T believe that Bernard will hold up to the end. He realizes what is com ing to him and is ready said MT. N Malinowsky today.
 Montvid also knows that an effort was made by his brother, Anton Mont vid of Chicago, in a letter written to Governor Holcomb to have his sen tence commuted to life imprisonment He realizes that there is no power on earth that can save him now. His one anxiety is on the reception of an other letter from his brother which he expects to receive and which will be the last word he will ever hear from him.

The rope will be tested in the afternoon and the death watch will be stationed at his side The reading of the death war rant will take place early in the even- Ing.
 < The disposition of the body of Montvid after his execution has not been determined upon but it is ex- pected that the state will have to take sharge of the remains, as no word has been received from Monrvid's rela- lives as to the disposition of ahe body
