Chapter 32 LIVING DEATH I ilAYE no complaint to mako ot my troalment in San Paolo Jail, and had I boon the murdorous thug .that I was supposed to be, I Bhould have sot nothing moro than I do served. ; ' It was probably a mercy In Vstrango guise that my head was badly damaged. Elthor tho kick, tho Iblow from tho club, or the bullet, had affected my mind. ', Obviously, during the wooks and months that had elapsed between the night of my arrest and tho day ot my full awakening to life and to reality, I must havo eaten and drunk,' lain' down and risen up. slept ind awakened, answered questions ; iftor a fashion, and, In some sort, ; ondiiclod myself as a sane and sum dolitly normal human being. - Otbcrwlso I should hnve found ; nysolf In the Slnto Criminal Luna ' Ic Asylum, instoad of the Ppulton , lary. .

' 1 And how registered, searched, Ibathed, clothed and shorn, I was iitlven tho hook of tho rules, which 'were many. i ' The rules consisted mainly ot .counsels of perfection, exhortations 'to the juockost obedience, and pro hibition , of smuggling tobacco, .drugs, sugnr, and other contraband 'Into tho prison, and to taking the utmost care ot all State property, i I The next thing 1 romember was being tnken by a guard down a long, jdnrk, though whitewashed, corridor, innd being shown into a kind ot reception-room for In coming convicts. ; This room, or hugo cell, was, as I :iflcrwards learned, known, for i-mmo incxpllcahlo reason, as The Fort. It was a plnco that 1 was to sco again under moro dramatic cir cumstances. ; Hero I was glad to sit down upon a bench, for, in addition to tho pain In my head, I felt oxtromcly. III. an illness mental nnd spiritual ill ori gin, that hod come upon mo as I traversed that dark corridor, smelt tho authentic dreadful prison smell and heard tho dreadful prison sounds. Thesa latter, I afterwards discov ered, proceeded from the cells of inert who had gono mad In prison Theso men wore not yet genuine lunatics and candidates for the criminal nsylum, but consisted Ini'gcly of two classes those who, on the one hand, were creatures of weaker liber who had broken down undor tho Incvllnhlo cruelty of the system; and. on tho other hand, In corrigible breakers of the law, who had gono mad under the punish ments they had brought upon them selves. As I snt in that ill-lit, cold and dlrly room, I wondered how long II wouldHm before I joined them In Niit-lloiiHO Alley, as that corridor of madmen's cells was called. Later, moro convicts were brought to this room, men. boys negroes and a Chinese. With them enme a guard who scaled himself and gazed at nothing. We sat about, suppressing yawns. fidgeting, half dead of eunul. nnxl ety. misery and horedoni. For hours we sat. For nlgbtlcss days und wccUs nnd months and years we scfncd to sit In a cowed silence broken only by tho buzzing ot a II y Until ! broke down and screamed my soul out, until In panlc tcrrnr. star ing around mo and at the guard, 1 Mrs. C.

I could with. dlQlculty fill a chnptor.; lucldenta nnd details of my escape, like those of my entry Into prison. 1 remember plainly enough: Between stretches a desert of time, feature- less and monotonous as a desert al-jlii ways Is. . - - ' . ;,, 1 nnnnnse 1 should, after all. Have ". gono mad In jalU or have committed"' suicide, but that 1 ifad some Juatlfl cation for the hope that Is said to spring eternal In tho human breast, It had been my experience' that money will buy anything, except the tow things worth having., ;: It was not long after my return to, clarity of mind that r received." message by the underground or' grapevine" route: ' ' f- "Qunrd Murphy markets. Tfustyj, Moroft finks." ' : ' ' ; ' ' This cryptlo Information filled mel with joy, tor It meant that a guard,. whom I will call Murphy was in theU; habit of "obliging"-- prisoners for a consideration, and , might be; ex pected to consider propositions ranging from the Introduction ot to bacco, ahocolate, Hies, and weapons to the smuggling ot letters, car- ,' rylng of information, and ever! as- ; aistlng attempts at escape. .To make the fullest usaot thft sor vices ot such a man, I had not the; slightest objection. ' If Guard Murphy were In the habit ot taking risks for gain, ha should certainly take them on my : account. One day a big husky follow with a cruel face whispered to me from tbo corner ot a scarce-opening lip:- ' "01'm Guard Murphy. Look In yer. Bolhle tonight," and passed on. ' When alouo In my cell at 11:30 that evening. It was with almost trem- ' bllng fingers that I took the book from Its shelf and soarcbed It. Near the middle I found a tissue paper message obviously from , "Uncle," at whom more nnori, telling me that when Guard Murphy came ' and said ono word to me, that word would bo the name of the place -whore a high-powered motor-car was, and always would be, waiting ' for mo. 1 1 sot to work, planned and plotted, night and day, sent letters to Uncle and received answers. -: 1 With Guard Murphy, I had brief and occasional but pregnant ' speech. One day I decided that I was . ready, and that very night 1 would put my fortune to the test. And 1 felt that I should succeed. Was 1 not VengaanceT God's Ven geance.
