| snyfnp overcoat His appearance was much the same
as when left the city, He wore his beard IN the same
way walked with the same gait and was not 'lsioy
thinner His face however, was slightly pale. As nc
entared the iail he remarked to Warden Watson, Well,
warden. 1 thought would come back to you" word
Of welcome from the Warden followed and this was all
the interchange Of greeting


As Mr. Watson reappeared I'm the office after turning
tbe KEY upon his prisoner 1t observed that his face


wore an expression Of cheerful content much in contrast
with the anxious look which manifested earlier In
tba afternoon He expressed his satisfaction at the
ouet manner in which II had been found possible to re-
ceye the prisoner and remarked Oeosey to the reporters
nresent that Mr. Tweed regretted that I've fatigue OF the
iourney rendered him unfit TO them that evening.
The oer prisoners after lingering about the oce Tor
few moments making inquiries In regard to their new
fellow boarder, up to their rooms. One OF them
who caught glimpse Of Tweed he walked through
the corridor surrounded by eager hrong Of ques
TONERS but his information very limited andhe soon
withdrew The crowds In the street dispersed as quickly
"a they had gathered and at 43O o'clock one would
have thought that important and exciting an hour had
passed


THE TRIBUNE described at considerable length few
days ago the room which had been assigned to Tweed


second inspection of the apartment deepened the i'm


rsson formed of its cheeressness and OF the narrow
ness of it's limits in proportion to the size Ofts occupant
A small man OF extremely sedentary habits might
possibly accommodate himself 70 the size OF
this room, but Tweed, man OF unusually
ceuetous proportions accustomed to large spaces and
recurring them in both mind and body WILL 1t Is said be
there subjected to great dscomforts Warden Watsons
sleeping apartment, adjoining that OF the prisoner is
room OF good size and TO all appearance equally secure
II has been stated that it is doubtless the wardenS
intention TO allow Tweed nj times the use OF this room as
a relief from mouotony, and as afording him
onportunity for more healthful recreation than
would be possible within his own narrow quarters
Mr. Watson, however, stated positively Ie"
days ago that he had no such purpose
He said that Twecd's room the more secure OF the
two in position and approaches and was the only one III
which he should dare trust the prisoner III was MS
determination TO conane the prisoner closely there Inc
bareness of the apartment could doubtless in great meas
IRE be relieved by the introduction Of better furniture
and by hanging few pictures on the walls, though u
remains doubtful how far Tweed viii BE- suffered TO cXef
else his tastes IN such improvements.


The law states that prisoner In the jail shah pay Tor
his board unless he makes affidavit that ne
s pecunarily unable 70 do The price OF board at
Iudlow street jan }l5 week. During his last impr
opment there it is well known that Tweed enjoyed excel
lent accommodation, and IL has always been supposed
that he paid literally FOR them. Warden watson III
stating the other day that Tweed would be treated just


like tbe other prisoners, conveyed the impression hat
he would pay the price they pay for room and
board.
