no EE DeATH WARRANT READ TO GREEN AND day received from Harrisburg the papers in the case of Ira Green and Wm. Dilled, now under sentence of death for the mur- der of Jerry Condo, and at 11 o'clock Mon- day morning, in the presence of two wit- nesses, read the warrants to the con- demned men. There was a separate war- rant for each man and the one for Green was read to him first. When the sheriff, accompanied by his witnesses, entered Green's cell and told him that he bad come in to read the death warrant to him in accordance with the requirements of the law Green replied, ‘‘All right, sir;"’ and with a very indifferent smile on his face and a nonchalant air calmly leaned against the wall and heard the. docoment read thiough. to the end without =o much as | even the quiver of an eye-lash. When the sheriff finished reading the warrant he told Green that now that he knew when the day was and that the time was short he bad better prepare himself accordingly. *‘Ob, that’s all right,’’ replied Green; ‘I'm ready anytime,”’ The sheriff and witnesses then crossed the narrow entry way to Dillen’s cell when Green called omt: ‘‘There comes the sheriff, Dillen; stand up and take your medicine, like I. did.” Dillen’s greeting was not so ignorantly effusive as that of Green and when the sheriff told him that be bad come to read the death warrant to him he merely bowed his head in acquies- cence. Thoughout the reading of the warrant, however, he stood with bis pipe in his mouth, smoking. When the sheriff told Dillen that now that he knew how short the time was to prepare himself ac- cordingly his only reply was’ to how his head. When the sheriff and witnesses came out of Dillen’s cell into the corridor Green call- ed out “Now, sheriff; read one of them things to John, there;”’ (meaning John Trafford, who is on day watch.) While the reading of the death warrants was an official act the sheriff bad to perform it was not the first knowledge the prisoners bad of the day set for their execution, as they had already learnad the time in some way or other, so that the reading of the warrant was no surprise to them. Neither of the men show any trace of their close confinement or of worry. They ar e both the picture of rugged health and weigh over 175 pounde-much heavier than w ben they were put in jail. Rev. W. B. Cox, of the United Evangelical church, is the spiritual adviser of the two men and those w ho see them every day say shat Dillen of late bas shown a realizing sense of the serious predicament into which he has got- ten himself and at times even exhibits signs of a penitential mood. Not so with Green, however: who through it all has dis pla ed the spirit of} same bravado that characterized his conduct the night of their recapture. That the carrying ont of the sentence of the law will take place on the day set is bardly to be doubted, as the hoard of pardons will not likely interfere. Bellefonte Pa..
