handed down by the supreme court
Thursday, was found pacing back
and forth in his cell at the Fulton

His first words We're apologies
for the condition of his cell. He de-
clared that he had been so upset
by the news of the decision that he
had not had the heart to tidy the
place.
After asking for cigarette, Du-
Pre- seemed to grow calm and to
regain a sort of fatalism which Of
ficials Of. the jail say has been his
attitude at times.s
He seemed downcast when he
discussed the courts decision.
81 believe the thirteenth is my
unlucky number" he declared.
"Just six months ago, on Friday
the thirteenth of January, / was
arrested in Detroit, and this is
Thursday, the thirteenth Of July. l
suppose they will hang ME on the
thirteenth, too.
II am not afraid to meet my
God now" said DuPre. I have be-
come converted since I have been
here. I'm really not afraid, but
just the same, wish the governor
could see his way clear to commute
my sentence to life imprisonment.
because I want to live to make
amends"
Praises Treatment
DuPre declared that he had re-
ceived the best of treatment from
officials Of the jail since his con-
,finement there, and asserted that he
especially appreciated the way in
which Sheriff Lowry had allowed
church workers to visit him.
Seldom has a day passed but
what some minister has visited me
and prayed with me-" he said, land
I want to take this opportunity to
thank them for their kindness and
ask them to continue to pray for
me-"
DuPre said he had been reading
the Bible and numerous tracts sent
him by Sunday school workers, and
said he had almost completed the
New Testament.
While he was discussing the de-
cision of the court his father, F.
A. .DuPre, arrived, and he appeared
to be considerably upset.
He declared that the news had
been a terrible blow to him. He
said that he had heard it earlier in
the morning, but that the shock had
been SO great that he could not
leave his lodgings then.
Wants Life Term
eff they, would only make it a
life sentence; that is all would ask"
he told the reporter. II would never
try to get the sentence committed.
It would be enough to know that

With him was Joe DuPre, a broth.
er of Frank, Jr. He was also visibly
worried over the courts decision.
H. C. Allen, of counsel for DuPre,
declared Thursday morning that he
would leave no stone unturned in
