With the changing of the closed gates the notes must have sounded the 40 year sentences that the prisoners shall have to serve for committing offenses described by the judge who sentenced them as Tow. cowardly and despicable."
 First Prison Supper
 The hours ride from Waterbury in the sedan of Deputy Sheriff John l.. Gray created good appetite for the trio, for, after being given a bath and receiving prison uniforms, the prisoners ate heartily of corn chowder, bread and butter and cocoa, the prison supper.
 The Waterbury men on the way to the prison had dollar between them. Sheriff Gray stopped the car sin Bristol and leaving Deputy Sher- if Joseph Bauby in charge, bought cigarettes and candy. The whole dollar was spent. Torkomian took his share of the smokes and sweets.
 Sullivan and Distefano contented themselves by singing popular tunes. Torkomian remained sullen and si- lent, all during the ride.
 Arrive at Prison Home
 Arriving at the prison at 6 o'clock the prisoners were given over to the custody of Deputy Warden B. J. Cantwell. Sheriffs Gray and Bauby shook hands with the prisoners and accepted their invitation to "come up and see us sometime"
 Torkomian, Sullivan and Distefano were given baths, the first step in the prison program for newly ad- mitted prisoners. They were taken 10 the prison store and each present. cd a prison uniform of bluish gray with cap to match. There was no difficulty met in outfitting Tor lJomian, even though he is of cor pflent statute. g
 Placed in Their Cells
 The trio were placed in cells in the north block of the prison until supper time. Their cells are on the first floor and adjoin each other. They joined the other prisoners in the file to the mess hall where they ate a hearty supper. Returning to the cells again they remained quiet lg complacent until lights were or- dered out at g o'clock, the hour that lights must be out each night at the prison.
 Arose at Six O'clock.
 The prisoners began their daily schedule which they will be required i'd follow while at the institution by

arising at 6 o'clock this morning and filing to the dining hall for break fast. Other prisoners went to their daily tasks but the Waterbury trio were returned to their cells to await the coming of Dr P. Priddy, the prison doctor. After his examina- tion which was expected to be com pleted this morning, the Waterbury men were to be assigned to the prison workshop where mems work ing shirts are manufactured. Dep uty Warden Cantwell did not know the exact nature of the work that the trio will be engaged. He said that Louis Leopold, serving life sentence is working in the shop and that Torkomian, Sullivan and Diste- fano would probably be working near him.

 "The campaigns of various nation alisms designed to make Germans hate Poles, Poles fear Germans, Ital- fans challenge Frenchmen, and Frenchmen multiply their defenses to guard against new 1914, cover a far more profound phenomenon. This more deadly danger is that Germans will hate Germans; Ital- ians detest Italians; workingmen abominate employers; labor insurge against capital-all to the point where, instead of imaginary interna- tional conflicts, Europe in general will be faced with civil strife."
