Sunday he went through the
prison hospital routine. There was
an early breakfast at the general
prison table, breakfast in absolute
silence. Scott ate heartily.
After breakfast, Scott was allowed
to mingle a short while with other
inmates and made friends with a
few of them. For the most part,
however, the other prisoners kept
their distance.
The former millionaire and con-

Chicago Jail wheiA he was held for
sixteen months foilewing the slay-
