stolid Indifference. He paid no atten

at th heels of Sheriff Stunner's party
as It made Its way through the depot
to an automobile. The automobile,

pletely baffled. The officers would
talk -but little, other than saying the
man had been a perfect prisoner and
had given no trouble. He has eaten
little since the date of his capture.

thing except tho crime. To that one
question he answered ''nothing what-
ever," although ne is willing to taiK
about other thins. Ho smiled sar
donically soveral.tlmcs when the crime
subject was brought up, as If he had
a great secret lie wanted to hide from
the world.
The man gave the appearance of the
usual type middle-class man. His
clothing Is cheap, face Is Mean shaven
and his eyes appenred peculiarly black
and opaque behind his glasses. He
wore his hat Jauntily and carried his
shoulders well. Promfleld tarried in
the anteroom of the Jail it brief space
before being taken upstairs for further
examination and entry, lit the Jail
books. ; : i

No death watch will be provided for
Steve Hyrne and Theodore Chronopolis
who are awaiting execution of the
death penalty on the morning of Aug.

Sheriff Larry Dugnin-thut tho custo

refused by the county commissioners.
It Is said.
In eliminating tho death watch, a
precedent of long atundlng has been
broken, those familiar with the history
of Montana state. As a result of the
absence of a death watch, both the
condemned men are treated as ordln-
ary prisoners, except that they occupy I
separate cells in an Isolated part of the
