He appeared to Caprain Edger to be cool and collected. By thé | direction of Captain Edear, who attended him, accompanied by Daniel Sullivan, 3 guard, be was first taken to the clothing- room, whare his person was thoroughly | searched. He was then photographed in | the ciothes wiich he wore into the prison, | He was then stripped and givena bath | and ordered to put on the stripes.

It is of solid masonry and has only enough area 10 give room for an iron b-dstead and a | chuir, with a very few square feet for Dur- rant to walk about, There 1s a lattice in the top of the dcor which faces towar.i | the north and directly opposite Captain | Edgar's cftice. The only lignt in the cell comes in through this lattice. The tier of cells is knowa as the sentenced murder- ers’ row. Durrant’s cell is numbered 21 and is the third from the end of the row, On one side of Durrant, therefore, as neighbors last night, were Dennis Me- Carthy, sentenced to death from Sonoma | County, and F. O. Kloss, sentenced to death from San Francisco. On the other side Durrant had as neighbors in three | adjoining ceils Henry Allender from | Sauta Ciara County, Jobn Milier from San | Francisco ana Louis C, Seacy liom San | Bernardino, over ali of whom is the sen- | tence of dexth. Durrant gave no further token of weak- ness. He eniered the cell watched by a | crowd of prisoners who were gathsred in he yard, the rule being to quit work at 2:30 o'clock Saiurday afternoons.

All the afternoon, with this exception, Mr. Durrant was self-contained, smoking cigars incessintly.
