Lis defense m nanaged, of tho impressive
olemnlty HenlInj the scene wlicn the jadg
jrjent of tbe law was pronounced upon him, that
jrav ns fancied cine to a lack ct manliness In
Ls general bearing, a lack ot outspoken candor
which presented a noticeable contrast to hi
umption of Indifference.
From the cell of Twltchell we were led to
that of
Newton Champion.
He It wa, It will bo remembered, who mur
dered Mary Carney, a woman of bad repute, on
the 10th of August, 18G6, for which offense he
was condemned to dcalh ou the lit of December
following. Subsequent to his arrest his domes
mot wes so strange that there was but little
doubt s to his lusaulty, and when Governor
Cnrliu was called upon to paw upon hU death
warrant, a commission wits appointed to investi
gate the cae. Ibey reported that the con
demned runnwas ihsano, and in Moyameuslng
1 still remains, a conQrmed hiuatic
IncontefUblu proofi of iha unsettled condi
tion or hts mind wtrc fore J upon ns as Boon as
we bad passrd tUe furlioll of hU cell. The
mall ailment bare at every point traces of
nte Wtindcrirtg wits. Th wall ere iu
he' most grolesfiuc mid fanciful style. The
-arrow window at the i or was approached by
an imaginary stairway executed in several
colors, and Mnrtlupr from this on either side ex
tended a clever Imitation of the monkey railoi a
lp. Above thin one or two portrait sketches
were intcrncr?ed With small photographs of
relatives and friends, an! in one corner was tto
variegated outline ot a nrm of-war under full
ail. But the most unique of all the adorn
ments oi the cell wai the Imitation of a water
pooler, so placid that the stationary bpiot
from which tbe cell is supplied with water was
made tc appear as if projecting from it. Tiie
effect was exceedingly novel, aud not devoid of
artUtic merit
"lake off your huts 1'' he cried, in a loud and
Imperative voice, as we entered the cell. "You're
to an oflicer'B apartment now. I'm a second
astistaut engineer In the Fulted States Navy.
Bee, here Is my commission. I have commenced
to copy it lnrtc som e on tbe wall," pointing to
a scm circle of small capitals readiuK thus:
T0 AIL WHO Gil ILL BF.E THESE .mZSEXTS,
GEEET1NU.''
Then he continued at a rattling pace, jiMiblins
kin words so close together thai many or them
were cut off at the middle, and there no
ppor. unity to put In a syllable by way of
question:
"You sec tha. 1 have been smoothing the
wall off, so that 1 could' copy the document
upon It. It has just been whitewashed, and Is
not in good condition jet. Hats off there"
turning npon two of oar party, who bad ne
glected to obey his flrt summons to uncover
"hats off, all of jfou! You're la an officer's
apartment."
And before the gentlemen in qipstion could
lemove their bat?, be seized the obnoxious
articles of apparel, and stood with one under
each arm, eyeing the company with an earnest,
piercing glare. His sharpen?.! features added
to the ludicrous effect of his position, and still
moro bo did the fancy stocks which he had
bound about hla ankles with an array of rumy
olorcd striniis.
He was silent but a moment, and then com
menced to butle. about the room, crjing out in
dislocated tones:
"I'll show you a new lnvention'if none of you
will dlvulee it. It's n perfect fortuue; indeed it
i. But jou won't divuleeit '"peering eagerly
in tbe face of each of his vbitorn '-You'll pro
wise not to divulge it? It's a perfect fortuue;
bat If you should divulgo it, it would be the
ruin of me indeed It would !"
On a email shelf suspended from the wall
were two large volumes, one a lolio and the
other an octavo. These were flunked by a half
dozen smaller books, nud the whole assortment
were httered over with a collection of miniature
houses made of straw, aud skilfully put to
gether. -Theso he hurriedly removed, one by
one, to the table, mattering all the tuna his
aution against divulging the importaut secret
with which we were about being intrusted. When
tbe octavo was reached, he bore It with' great
care to the window, aud we grouped ourselves
around him.
"Excuse my back I" he. exclaimed, suddenly
interrupting his words of caution; "if I stand
with my back to you, you can see it better.
Now, jou won't divulge it f You promise not
to divulge it? It's a perfect fortune, but if you
should divulge it it would be the ruin of me."
On opening the volume was disclosed a series
f parallel pencil marks on one of the fly
leaves, "representing the level of the ocean,"
as he explained. Taking up . a pin be thrust it
tbroneh a smull slip of paper, on which was
irawn In outline the section of a ship, with
three docks, and a seriesof pipes running cross
wise from tide to fl.le uutil the lowest aud
shortest almost touched the keel. At the end
f each of these pipes was a self-adjusting sta
tionery valve, enclosed In a small chamber, the
whole apparatus tuinus) cleverly drawn thit
we could readily comprehend hi purpose.
He hud just st.ttul that the object of Lis
'wventton was the removal of bilge water from
the hold of athip, when the remembrance of his
great crime seemed suddci.ly to break in upon
hls.clonded intellect, and lie clo fi the, book
with a start, ciying eagerly : -
"You can't icgem.ra'eafaMrn woman ! Tlioro's
no use trying U-H c m't be dime, and it isn't
man's mission to aUuiipt it. You may do jour
best with them, but you cuu never get thorn to
return the affection vmi bestow upm them.
You can't rcBeu.'rate a fallen woman !"
"Where wus I?" he again exclaimed, opinio?
the volume aud replacing- the oatliue or the
ve'Bei so that it was on a level keel. '
"Lb, yes!1' be continued, giving us scarcely
time to say "bilee water1' "Oh, jpm! now you
won't divulge it? for if you did it would be tli
rum of jue. You see, this is tho way it work'.
Do anjf of jou understand mechanics? Suppoce
the vessel were to oonuln a quantity of bilge
water in the hold, from any cause you knov
the might get a hole punched in her, which
would be very disastrous, or she mlgit spring a
leak, when the water would ooo in slowly,,
Kow when she rolls to the rigbt" moving the
eatllne section of the vessel to suit bis explana
tory words "when she rolls to the right, until
thin first pipe Is on tho level, the
water runs luto t, and Is secured
In til chamber by the self-acting vaive. Then
he pitches to the left, and the water again runs
from ihls first chamber down tha- second pipe
Into tU second chamber, where It is again

would be the ruin of me if ton did.1
With that he closed ihe volume and replaced
It on the shelf. At he was about restoring the
little etraw houses to their places, he held one
up in his flnijtr and asked:
"U.ae any of you got a little girl?"
One of our party, the happy possessor of such
& treasure, stepped forward, when Champion,
placing the miniature structure in bis band,
continued:
"Take this house to her. 1 will make a pre
sent to her of it. And now"-baving released
his hold upon it, and grasping the largo folio
In both hands "now you may make me a
present of ten cents. Only ten cents that's ll

all the poets. Here's Barns and Campbell and
Uyrou that yellow covered specimen ol litera

any of them, and I want to get all of their works
together only ten cents. That's fifty'' when
a note was handed him "I can't moke the
change. But It's your fault; jou know I only
charged jou ten cents. What's your name?"
opening tho folio at one of tho fly-leave", and
disclosing a long string of names nud dates.
"Tell tie your name, plca'e. You eeo I am
colng to honor you by writing jour name down
here, alonj; with members of the Legislature
nud Common Councllmen."
When the entry was completed to hi sati-fas-
tion, we prepared to leave tbe cell, much to
Champion's dippolntnient. As we hurried out
he insisted on detaining one of the company by
the hand nntll he could recite a doggerel 6tanza
which be termed "Byron's Prajcr."
Into the presence of
Urall KalAn
we were next conducted. Condemned to be
bunc on the 23th of the present mouth, we
omul moj in an exceedingly cneeitul iuuI ratm-r
talkative mood. In ancr to our queries ne
rarrated volubly aud gtapbically the circum
stances an cuti me tne munif r or rimothy Hee
nan, lor whieu offense he is to suffer dea'-b. He
is an innocent man, as fur as this alletred offcn
is concerned. (o at least he averted, as he sat
upon the side of bis cot and cxntainel over an 1
over sea'n his movements on the evening of
me occurrence.
"iiy life," he said, "was sworn awav to eratlfv
a political prejudice. 1 hope I may never
my Maker tt 1 tired a single shot that nieut.
Twelve or fourteen men were chasing three or
lour oi us upinc stree;. a. in.in stopped me and
asked why 1 did not thool. He wrenched the
pistol Irom my Jiand, e.uiing me narsh names
tor refusing to defend myself against men who

rainy, and jou coulJn't ee u man jut in front

"Heenan's brottier,'' we oVcrve 1, " inn her1
throughout thi trial, nud did a grest deal to
secure jour conviction.''
"1 know it," lie rr.o lJed; "but no respecta
ble person will believe aujtlvng that that
scotiLdiel and prizo-liiriter s;ijs."
Afier a raommt's pause, he continue 1:
"Well, I don't euro. I've pet to die some
time, aLd can't die but once. Taey can't do
anyhinu' but hamr me."
"But." we iuterpobcd, "j-mir time is short, and
yon ought to be preparing tor your fate."
"1 am ready. 1 don't dread u physical death."
"Do jo'i sleep well at nebt ?" we inquirecf.
"I lay down at elirht in the evening, and dou't
wake up Ml they conic around with' ray break
fast iu the morning."
"hou't your conscience trouble you'''
"That oou't look much as It it troubled me.
But I'm as innocent of flrinu that shot as you
Jour irentlcmen standing there."
Then we left the 'condemned cell,'' nud were
conducted in turn to the apartments of
Three Oilier Kotable Criminals,
Tlie first of these was Patiick FarraaD. who
has been awaiting the signing of his death war
rant since 1861. He was a carpenter by tra Je,
aud had been engaged to mend some rurniture
which a desperate character bad broken over
his wi'c's heud. He had been sent below fjr
the offente, us he had htty times before, bat this
time his wile bad intert'ered to secure his
release, because she could uot spare th s time
which his trial would have deinaudcd of her. It
was a qneb'.ion of daily toil or starvation. On
the way home from the prisou the mau contrived
to drown his wits in gin, and when ho reached
the boue he availed his wife aud the carpenter
who was restoring the damaging effc-'ts of his
previous drunken bout.
The latter be p rasped savagely by the throat,
and a severe scutlle endued, in tnc course of
which the two combatants fell together over
the stove. "I had no knife," said the prisoner,
"aud he must have fallen on one of th 3 tools
when we rolled over on the floor." Tne cise of
this miserable man appears to be one of peculiar
hardship, and it is to he hoped that the efforts
which are now being mMe to secure his. release
may re.-ult successfully, If it should be found
that the story which ho tells is true in all its
detail".
The next prisoner visited was a nnils.lt.) nam ;d
Jerry jnckfon, who h.t8 ben lying under sen
tence ot death forabiuttlx years. Ho was a
barber oy profession, and lu a bar-room lieht,
having one of bis razors about him, inflated a
fatal wound upon au antagonist.
The only one in addition to these who is still
awaiting the sierni'ig ot bis death-warrant on
4 he male side ol the prison is the necrro Alfred
Atexundcr. It wilt Oe remembered that he was
convicted last July ot causincr tha death of
Thillis Proctor. It wus a year after tho commis
sion of tbe alleged o flense before he was captured,
snd in ill" meantime I'htllls came to her death
from a stubborn refatal to permit a proper
dressing of tho wound wb'ch. Alexander in
flicted upon her. Lack of space forbids h
detailed account of thu affair, which is still
ftes.li in tho iiru'U ot the public. Alexander
will nevr be bunr. and ma-ty peaple who arc
not troubled wl'.n a tentimer.tal sympathy for
despera'e offenders auraiust thy laws believe
Unit be hhould be di".eiinr!Pd from custody.

Bergcant Lowery, as tbo immediate party iu
interest, and several other ponce officials, were
as positive yesterday as on the previous day
that the lingers assassin was at last entangled
iu tbe meshes of tbe law, and their faith was
in no wise shaken by the temarkable fact iveu
lo the public yesterday, that their prisoner ba
been a col slant lodger in one single station
house ever since the minder, nor bave
the officials been dismayed by the further
ciicuinstance that tbeir new protege is named
neither Jim" nor Logan, aud tbat in punning
him they have been compelled to reject every
hitbeno received theory of the murder. They
have made of tbe man "John itobiuson, 25.
fcotcb,'' onefli.the most rcniarkablo rascals in
human history, lhey say that ibey have evi
dence aeainst this man tbat cannot fail to
secure his conviction. Yet this same man is
shown by bis ofliciaf record to have gone out of
tbe Hnrii e ttrcct ttutiou-bouse on the- morn me
ot the murder, and to bave pone back to that
same station-bot'se on tnar. same night to UKiitn
ask and receive lodging, and to have repeated
inc same mme almost every mprutior a month

i vinced lhat the murderer would ba founi in the
i station-house lodgers. He made a written report
, ot his proceedings and or tne information he had
' gained to Captain Latliey, who bad been from
tee nrst cognizant or bts movements, and had
to the extent ot bis ability asis;ed in them from
his sick bed. Reading; tbe report ot Sergeant
i-owcry, ine. captain orcamc convinced, and
trHUtmitttd it to police headquarters. Inspector
Dilks rtad and professed that ho could
no lonpcr doubt. The report went
to Siincunteodent Kennedy, who d
eiarcd tbat it could be safely announced
tbat the as.'iitnu ol uogeiB was discovered. All
of tbe cebtlthien excreesiiig these ouinious
have bau loi g cxpeiieiice In police affair's, Bil l
should not be ueiutieu oy laitc wituesscs or Un
noted upon ov a concocted story. Therefore.
wbeu tbee officers, with all the evidence before
them, ufliini cvtn so extraordiuury a fact as that
tbey have found the murderer in a man who wns

tbe n urrter, tbcir opinions hx entitled to respect
