ROME, February 2.-Considera bl
discomfort has been caused by an
announcement that beginning today
the price of bread is to be increased.

The next grade will be raised from

The increase is due to the fact that
in the last 10 days the price of
wheat has jumped from 1S5 lire per
ouintal (22O46 pounds) TO 200 lire
and there is a tendency to a further
increase. The government is study
ing the problem in an endeavor to
adopt measures by which a part of

Inwardly, however, he was quaking. For Smith,
as | found afterward, a coward at heart. He
waited in fear for the officers next words. They
were to the following effect:
81 intend taking you to the police station, and If
it is found that you George Smith you will be
charged with causing false entries to be made in
your marriage certificate"
False entries The murderer might have been
excused from laughing aloud. He had expected to
be charged with murder and instead here was this
Scotland Yard talking about false entries in
marriage certificates With chuckle he submitted
to being marched to the police station.

The simple looking false entries" charge soon
developed into something that sent Smiths miserable
soul into HadeS of doubts and anXieteS 1t
dropped, and charge of bigamy appeared in its
place, and later this, too, made way for the indct
ment for murder.
When at length the case came to trial at the Old
Bailey people stood for hours queues in the streets
waiting for the doors to open in order to secure
seat at this life-and-death drama. Among the hun

demned man had some heart ailment, and might col.
lapse under the strain of his preparations for the
scaffold learned that the prisoner had been very
we'll fed and had enjoyed his meals while living in
the death CELL But when the Bishop of Croydon the
spiritual adviser of the prison, advised Smith to
fess his crime the murderer looked him squarely in
the eye and said:
Il have confession to make, as am quite
innocent!" -
Smith chatted freely with the prison attendants,
and many of the things he told them were repeated
to me by the wardenS. He told them, for instance,
that his trial had cost him 4000 but he still had
something left In virtue of this he made his will,
and one of the wardens told me he signed it as
witness.
There will be $4,000 for Miss Pegler when
everything is settled" Smith had said. :.
Yet he refused to allow Miss Pegler to visit him.
He said she wanted to come and see him, but he
wanted no visitors.
The long last night passed at last and the day of
Smiths execution dawned brilliantly fine. When |
got up to complete my preparations on the scaffod
heard that a letter had arrived for the doomed
man with the address in printed characters, as
though to disguise the handwriting but doubt very
much whether it was given to him. Nothing from
the outside world is allowed to distract condemned
man on the morning of his execution.
His nerves were failing him. The air of
calm impudence disappeared and the mans inner
cowardly self peeped forth. breakfast of boiled
eggs, bread and butter and tea was placed before
him, but he hardly touched it. He had already
declined to take any brandy.
