But
do
n't
forget
one
thing
,
Darrell
,
"
Morrell
rapped
to
me
.
"
The
thing
is
ticklish
.
You
have
a
feeling
all
the
time
that
you
are
taking
liberties
.
I
ca
n't
explain
it
,
but
I
always
had
a
feeling
if
I
was
away
when
they
came
and
let
my
body
out
of
the
jacket
that
I
could
n't
get
back
into
my
body
again
.
I
mean
that
my
body
would
be
dead
for
keeps
.
And
I
did
n't
want
it
to
be
dead
.
I
did
n't
want
to
give
Captain
Jamie
and
the
rest
that
satisfaction
.
But
I
tell
you
,
Darrell
,
if
you
can
turn
the
trick
you
can
laugh
at
the
Warden
.
Once
you
make
your
body
die
that
way
it
do
n't
matter
whether
they
keep
you
in
the
jacket
a
month
on
end
.
You
do
n't
suffer
none
,
and
your
body
do
n't
suffer
.
You
know
there
are
cases
of
people
who
have
slept
a
whole
year
at
a
time
.
That
's
the
way
it
will
be
with
your
body
.
It
just
stays
there
in
the
jacket
,
not
hurting
or
anything
,
just
waiting
for
you
to
come
back
.
"
You
try
it
.
I
am
giving
you
the
straight
steer
.
"
"
And
if
he
do
n't
come
back
?
"
Oppenheimer
,
asked
.
"
Then
the
laugh
will
be
on
him
,
I
guess
,
Jake
,
"
Morrell
answered
.
"
Unless
,
maybe
,
it
will
be
on
us
for
sticking
round
this
old
dump
when
we
could
get
away
that
easy
.
"
And
here
the
conversation
ended
,
for
Pie-Face
Jones
,
waking
crustily
from
stolen
slumber
,
threatened
Morrell
and
Oppenheimer
with
a
report
next
morning
that
would
mean
the
jacket
for
them
.
Me
he
did
not
threaten
,
for
he
knew
I
was
doomed
for
the
jacket
anyway
.
I
lay
long
there
in
the
silence
,
forgetting
the
misery
of
my
body
while
I
considered
this
proposition
Morrell
had
advanced
.
Already
,
as
I
have
explained
,
by
mechanical
self-hypnosis
I
had
sought
to
penetrate
back
through
time
to
my
previous
selves
.
That
I
had
partly
succeeded
I
knew
;
but
all
that
I
had
experienced
was
a
fluttering
of
apparitions
that
merged
erratically
and
were
without
continuity
But
Morrell
's
method
was
so
patently
the
reverse
of
my
method
of
self-hypnosis
that
I
was
fascinated
.
By
my
method
,
my
consciousness
went
first
of
all
.
By
his
method
,
consciousness
persisted
last
of
all
,
and
,
when
the
body
was
quite
gone
,
passed
into
stages
so
sublimated
that
it
left
the
body
,
left
the
prison
of
San
Quentin
,
and
journeyed
afar
,
and
was
still
consciousness
.
It
was
worth
a
trial
,
anyway
,
I
concluded
.
And
,
despite
the
sceptical
attitude
of
the
scientist
that
was
mine
,
I
believed
.
I
had
no
doubt
I
could
do
what
Morrell
said
he
had
done
three
times
.
Perhaps
this
faith
that
so
easily
possessed
me
was
due
to
my
extreme
debility
.
Perhaps
I
was
not
strong
enough
to
be
sceptical
.
This
was
the
hypothesis
already
suggested
by
Morrell
.
It
was
a
conclusion
of
pure
empiricism
,
and
I
,
too
,
as
you
shall
see
,
demonstrated
it
empirically
.
And
above
all
things
,
next
morning
Warden
Atherton
came
into
my
cell
on
murder
intent
.
With
him
were
Captain
Jamie
,
Doctor
Jackson
,
Pie-Face
Jones
,
and
Al
Hutchins
.
Al
Hutchins
was
serving
a
forty-years
'
sentence
,
and
was
in
hopes
of
being
pardoned
out
.
For
four
years
he
had
been
head
trusty
of
San
Quentin
.
That
this
was
a
position
of
great
power
you
will
realize
when
I
tell
you
that
the
graft
alone
of
the
head
trusty
was
estimated
at
three
thousand
dollars
a
year
.
Wherefore
Al
Hutchins
,
in
possession
of
ten
or
twelve
thousand
dollars
and
of
the
promise
of
a
pardon
,
could
be
depended
upon
to
do
the
Warden
's
bidding
blind
.
