The  condemned  man  passed  his  last  night
as  though  he  had  a long  life  still  before  him.
He  slept  well,  ate  a hearty  breakfast,  and  when
asked  by  Sheriff  Laird  at  9 o’clock  whether
there  was  anything  he  wanted,  replied,  “No,  I
have  had  plenty.”  He  confessed  to  Father
Girard  on  Wednesday  and  on  Thursday  re-
ceived the  sacrament.
