here in many years said an old county prison inspector was in connection with the bangtog of a murderer i believed at tho time of the execution and i still believe that he was insane when be committed the crime for which ho suffered death be wae supposed to be an un married man and uo one suspected tbat in reality ho had a legitimate child whose mother bad laied but a short period after its birth it was on the third day preced ing the execution that the prisoner sent for me i had been doing what i could to preparehim for the end and ho said he wanted to tell me a secret and ask a favor then bo
