BEST ASSORTMENT BEST QUALITY LATtST STYLES Alb FASHIONS A Salem special says Harry Egbert, the convicted murderer of Deputies Saxton and West, and sentenced to be hanged at the peni tentiary January 29, 1904, has con- fessed religion, made a clean breast of all his crimes and professed to be sorrowful and repentant. In the seclusion of his death cell, on Thursday last, he was baptised by Rev. E. W. St. Pierre, the prison chaplain. The condemned murderer now declaros he will await his end pa tiently and uncomplainingly, and that he will not again attempt suicide. The officers of the insti tution say that he has not shown any signs of worry or anxiety as the days pass by and the date of his death, as prescribed hy law, approaches and that he seems as cheerful as one could be expected to be under the circumstances and resigned to liis dreadful fate. Egbert is confined to a cell to himself at the extreme end of the second tier of cages in the left wing (x> different games—all new of the building, and is shut off com —one in each package of pletely from the other prisoners of the institution. His cell is at the corner of the long row, and is com pletely enclosed with a screen so that it is impossible for any of the othor prisoners to communicate with him or convey any kind of an object to his cell There has been no provision made for a death watch over him and preventing him from making any attempt up on his life, should he so desire, but there are no means at hand by which lie could accomplish this end if he should make an attempt. Rev. St. Pierre, when he went to the cell to administer the baptismal ceiemony. was warned to be care ful and not allow the prisoner to get the slightest advantage of him on account of his previous desper ate and bloodthirsty reputation, HOPKINS & GARRETT but he ignored the warning absolu are atiil at th« old >tand and tely, and went into the cell and re e still making those flne,'saddlaa mained alone with tbs prisoner that have become go popular two or three hours. with the riders of this section.
