you flat. knew my little baby
was better off where 1t had gone.
And knew that whatever they
did, they couldn't send Ed to the
electric chair now. And they could
not shoot US, not on sight or any
other way. I'd worried so much
that guess I was just worried out
for while. I had ham and eggs
and two cups of coffee. and felt
fine.
That afternoon wa started back
for New York, Casev and Gray and
Ed and me. Before we left police

1t up.
We had a stateroom. he four Of
us, and after we got in, the de.

to be bothered by reporters and
people.
Late that afternoon, before dark,
l took notion I waited to sit by
the window, so as l could see out
better. And, besides. my arm was
getting tired. It's no fun being
chained by the arm all day long
So Casey got out a little KEY and
switched the handouts around, 50

Sit Up All Night.
That night we all sat up. Nobody
said anything about going to bed,
and how could we, very we'll. I
slept a little, but not much. It
was too uncomfortable.
The second day, it got sort of
tiresome. Ed said hardly anything.
Casey read newspaper, and Gray
just yawned and twiddled his
thumbs.
said to him, Say, why couldn't
we play cards a little? I'm Just
as sick Of sitting as you are" He
seemed sort of surprised, but said,
We'll, l guess we might" He
rang for the porter and we tried to
get a pinochle deck, but he only
had the other kind, 30 we played
hearts. He had to un-handcuff me
Tor that and l was glad Of It. He
Just handcuffed Eds wrists to-

We ate in the stateroom and
while we were eating dinner I made
up my mind 1 wasn't going to sit
up the second night, men or no
men. BY that time l had 1t figured

get away. So after dinner things
was cleared away and they all sat
back as If they expected to spend
another night that way, / asked
them to call the porter, and when
he came, I said, Nose, you make
up that upper berth for me. I'm
not going to sit up this night" And
he gave a look at the detectives to
see If 1t was all right and made 1t
up and brought the ladder, and I
climbed up there with my clothing
on and pulled a blanket over me
and said Good night" and believe
me. slept.
Crowd Around Train.
It was only after we got up
toward Philadelphia that people
began to crowd around the train on
the platform wherever it stopped,
yelling about the Bobbed Haired
Bandit. There was a big mob
there, and lot of people got on
the train. and a lot Of men with
cameras tried to get on. but they
wouldn't let them.
Something afterward happened
that made me good and sore.
There was a new diner put on
there, and when we sent for the
waiter to bring lunch. he came

Of the car, and IL we wanted to
eat we must come and get 1t.

There was some big likes with
their wives got on at Philadelphia,
and they wanted to get a look at
