We passed them daily when
going to and returning from

cells the lights were kept
burning all night, and the
doomed inmates were. not per-
mitted TO wear clothing. In
front of each cell door, in
neat pile, lay the pants, the
Jacket and the boots of the
condemned man inside.
They only dressed for half
an hour each day. when they
went TO exercise in the yard
Many times | saw them walk
ing over frozen earth. Every
week. old faces vanished, and
new faces took their place.
The men walked briskly.
their wrists Shackled. together
behind their backs. Most of
them seemed unconcerned
only a few looked strained or
gloomy. Their heads fell at
the rate of four 10 10 each
week, and there were weeks
when women, working girls
and ladies of the nobility, con-
victed of treason or espionage,
were among those who died at
dawn. The laws of 1886 were
far more savage than the
laws of 1888
