It was a simple meal, but Very teroptingly prepared, yet neither of the men could ¢ f what they had ordered. 'They had no dis- position to partake of any food, but Hag' drank the nourishing coffee. ev. Mr. Spencer left the cell when the meat was brought in. He said Welter appeared perfectly sane thia morning, and hoth men were compara- tively strong. It was bis belief they would go to the scaffold unassisted. At 6:50 Rev.

After M ae uneasiness of public consci such an irreparable legal tragedy draws near. Thoughts of the many inno- cent men hanged obtrude themselves on everyone. most positive of minds feel traces of uncertainty and long for pans opel from the onl lips that can speak with actual know- ge.
