Thin Morning Not Far from Driscoll's
Cell Walsh's Heplr to the Charge.
Dan Driscoll slept soundly And peacefully
from 10 o'clock last night until daybreak this
I morning. Then ho arose, washed himsolf,
combed his hair neatly and dressed himsolf
in his black snit, with white starched shirt,
collar and black tie.
As his morning greeting to the deputy
elicriffs who constitute tho death-watch, he
paid, with a mischievous look in his oye : " I
guess Fatty Walsh is sorry now that tho Gov
ernor granted mo- a respite for throe days.
1'vo shaken up things in this prison,
haven't I?"
Ho seemed to tako great delight in the
letter ho wrote yesterday and read all the
papers eagerly. His parting shots at Warden
Walsh pleased him even better in print than
they did in manuscript. What ho consid
ered to bo the .most effective and neatly
turned sentences in tho letter ho read aloud
in unctious tones to his keepers.
" One thing I loft out," ho said, regretfully.
" I meant to toll the real cause of McCarthy's
hatred for me, and to show how ho ought to
be in my placo now. It isn't truo that we
quarreled over some goods that wo got in a
robbery, for McCarthy and I novcr travolled
together in that way.
11 The fact is that ho squealed on mo and
Komo of the other boys, and, besides, ho
threatened my life. It was a bullet from his
pistol that killed poor Beezio. but he got his
weapon out of the way, and tho newspapers
went against mo from tho start. Well, I sup
pose it is too lato now."
With this philosophical refloction the con
demned Whyo asked for a fresh cigar and
puffed away vigorously. It was not yet 8
o'clock; hut ho had already consumed four
choice weeds.
At his regular breakfast hour ho would
have nothing but a cup of strong block oof
fee, but an hour later he said ho had an ap
petite, and beefsteak and two poached eggs
were brought to him.
Ho ate heartily, but slowly, and before he
had finished Father Qelinos came in. Dris
coll retired from the corridor, where he
usually passes his time, and sat with the good
priest in the far comer of tho coll.
Tho condemned man's devotional exercises
lasted half an hour or moro. When Father
Gelinas wob asked by an Evening Would
reporter about his charge ho said: "The
Iioor man realizes his position and is giving
lis thoughts to preparing for tho other
world. I feel sure ho will die with Christian
resignation. "
The keepers and all others who have access
to tho condcinnod man say they feol suro he
will dio gamo. They think he will scrow up
his courage as a matter of pride and to keep
tho good opinion of his former companions.
There wan an affecting sceno when Mrs.
Drisooll called with her little girl. There
is a soft spot in the Whyo's heart for his chil
dren, and when tho little one ran towards
shim with extended nrms end wanted to throw
them about his neck, a tear coursed down his
cheek.
There were two wooden barriers between
him and tho child, and the deputies have
orders that no visitors shall approach nearer
than tho second barrier.
Four carpenters sent by Sheriff Grant
entered tho prison to-day and began erecting
tho scaffold on the southern side of tho
Tombs yard. Tho condemned man will not
liave to walk more than a hundrod steps from
uiB cell to the place of execution.
Warden Walsh does not think Driscoll's
written accusations are important enough for
him to get augry at, but ho is willing to an
swer any questions on the subject.
" I ought not to be asked to answer the
ravings of a condemned murderer and des
perate criminal like Driscoll, " he said to-day,
but I want it understood that I court tho
fullest investigation of any charges made
against ino as Warden.
" What aro theso chargos, evon with Dris.
coil's exaggerations? That I locked Mur
derer Iteicu up for complaining of his food :
that I sell matches ht three cents a box ; that
I placed threo small boys in tho peniteutiury
coil without n bed to lie on and that I showed
favor to a prisoner named Masse. Also that
I gnvo Driscoll only nine meals out of ten
and cut off his daily six hours of exorcise.
" The facts iu brief are thrso : Adolf ltcioh,
being a Hebrow, did not want to eat off plates
that nndbeen used by other prisoners. lio
could not speak English and no ono under
stood his Polish jabborings. Failing to make
himself understood ho smashed tho plates
and was locked up for being contumacious.
When I found out tho real state of tho case I
had tin platters bought for his solo uso. Ho
never complained of his food.
" As to tho three boys, I did put them in
the penitentiary cell, but only for a few
hours. That cell is used daily for tho batch
of prisoners who are to go to tho penitentiary.
It is not a living cell. The prisoners only
occupy it while tho van is being got ready.
'"lueseboys behaved badly, and the matron
reported thorn. Wo have no means of pirn
ishiuc them for shouting and throwing food
on tho floorso, to frighten them, I locked
them iu tho Penitentiary cell for half a day.
To scaro them I told them in a loud voice I
would keep them there a month.
" The story about Masse is true except tho
conoluslon that I favored him for money,
xio was sick and was sent to tho hospital cell,
"ne is thoro now.
" Driscoll's statement that ho did not get
proper food is untrue. Tho fact is he abused
mo vilely before Commissioner Porter, His
languago was shocking. Commissioner For.
tor said to mo afterwards i I can go into tho
Morgue and soo the bodies dissected, and it
will never interfere with my nppetlto, but
this man's languago affected me so that I
could not sloop. It was the cruellest and
foulest I over heard.'
The Warden was shown a story in a morn
ing paper to the effect that he and the late
Jerry Hartigan planned an esoapo for Dris.
coll while Mr. Finn was Warden at the
Tombs.

DK1SCOLIS OWN IIAKDAVUUIXG.
A Fro Simile of the doting Paragraph of the Htatement to the Public, with tho Signature
of the Condemned Ulan.
Many peoplo havo expressed doubts as to whether the public statement of Daniol Driscoll,
tho condemned murderer, published In full exclusively in The Evening! Would last night, was
really writton by him. The copy of tho lottor, as printed, was mado from tho manuscript
in Driscoll's own handwriting, and horowith is presented a fao slmilo of tho closing para
graph, with the condemned man's signaturo :
,fc-., tC t-Te--
Tho facts are and Inspector Byrnes can
verify my statement that one of DriBooll's
friends mado an impression in soap of the
lock of his cell door. Thoy had a key mado
to fit that lock. They smuggled two bottles
of kerosene and some shavings into the
prison, and also a false beard for Driscoll.
Tho plan was to start a fire hero, so that
Driscoll in disguise could unlock his coll
door and get out. I discovered tho plan,
changod tho lock of Driscoll's cell and
thwarted them. A week afterwards Mrs.
Driscoll brought mo tho kev, and said it was
Peter Smith who got it mado. I know that
was n lie.
"Tho real cause of Driscoll's enmity,"
said tho Warden finally, " is that I would not
lot him escape. Mr. Hartigan said to me be
fore I camo hero : ' Look out for Driscoll.
He's slippery coon. You'll loso him if you
are not careful.' "
THE BRITANNIA'S OFFICERS ACCUSED.
Charged with Maltreating the Male Passen
ger and Intuiting Girls.
When the Italian Bteornge passengers of tho
delayed steamship Britannia were landed at
Castle Garden this forenoon, eight of the
male passengers wont to Supt. Jackson as
saon us they had registered and told him that
they had been shamefully treated during tho
voyago.
They said that they had been maltreated
by the officers and fed on bod and insufficient
food. The promised to draw up a complaint
and hand it to Manager Tor Kinb.
Two young girls, with tears in their oyes,
told President Marzo, of tho Italian Society,
that an officer of tho vessel, whose name they
could not learn, had mado improper proposals
to them during tho voyago.
Thore was on board the vessel a woman
named Linza Musto Di Leo. She was nccom.
paniedby two swarthy children. Her hus
band Viuccnzo, who is a barber in tho Hotel
Gladstone in thiB city, was at Castle Garden
when she registered. After this was douohe
walked over to her and embraced the chil
dren. Tho woman looked for a liko reception,
but Vincenzo did not notice hor. She thon
spoke to him. Ho turned around and spat in
her faco.
President Marzo asked him why he received
her in that manner. He replied that the
Mayor of Monterrile, whero ho formerly
In ed, had writton him that the woman had
been unfaithful to him and had had a child
by another man.
Di Loo refused to receive her. She will
Erobably be sent back as an immoral person.
ii Loo says he arrived in this country on
Sopt. C, 188C, and that after he left his wife
she proved unfaithful.
Guiseppe Duearto was among the immi
grants, and in his company was a young
woman named Grazia Parise, whom he said
he had brought over from Italy to be a wife
unto his brother Itocco. who has been in this
country for some time and who intends mar
rying tho girl. Hoc co has never soon her.
Two young women who had been married
by proxy to young men in this city, waited in
tho Garden until all the passongers had gone,
for tho appearanco of their husbands.

SUFFOCATED IN A MANHOLE.
A Singular Accident to Two Subway Work
men In Sixth Avenue.
A singular accident, which has resulted in
ono death and may cause another, occurred
shortly after noon to-day in a manhole of tho
subway at Sixth avonuo and Thirty-second
street.
L. Jones, of Boston, and Walter Harper, of
Brooklyn, were in the manhole connecting
wires. The opening was covered with can
vas. The canvas covoring was blown down by
the wind, so that fresh air could not get in.
Then the manhole became filled with gas,
which, it is supposed, escaped from a neigh,
boring main.
Tho plight of tho two men was discovered
by a policeman of the Thlrtioth street sta
tion. Jones was dead and Harper was un
conscious. Jones's body was removed to tho station
house and Hariier was sent to tho Hew York

COLLEGE BALL-rLAYERS IN TOWN.
Delegates from Yale and Harvard Here to
Form a New Lengue.
Delegates from Yale and Harvard arrived
at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel this morning, and
aro awaiting tho arrival of men from Prince
ton, If tho Princotonians arrivo in timo a
convention will bo hold for tho purposo ot
forming a baseball league.
Applications for membership have already
boen received, though Informally, from Am
herst, Williams and tho University of Penn
sylvania. Tho Coll ego League last y oar consisted of
clubs from Valo, Harvard, Princeton and
Columbia, but as Columbia withdrew before
completing the schodulo of games, tho games
played by tho Columbia loom with the others
were not taken into account.
It is doubtful if a fourth college is ad
mitted, for tho sentiment at Yale is strongly
iu favor of a triangular leogtio. If Dart
mouth, however, should make application,
hor claims could not bo lightly dismissed, as
tho work dono by her club last year was far
stronger than that of any other college team,
always excepting Harvard and Yale.
After tlie convention n meeting of the cap
tains of the teams will be held to arrange tho
soliedulo of games to bo played.
The delegates front Yale are Messrs. Stagg
( captain), Drum and Voile, aud from Harvard,
HeuBhaw, Williard (captain) and Woodbury.

" Wo sheered off to avoid a collision, but Jm
it was not prevented, for La Qoscogne coma J
across our bows and we struck her amidships 'l
oft the englno-room. .
' ' What the damage to tho French ship ;ilj
