John
disappeared
and
returned
,
while
Steger
explained
to
Cowperwood
that
anything
he
wanted
in
the
way
of
clothing
,
etc.
,
could
be
brought
in
.
Steger
himself
would
stop
round
next
morning
and
confer
with
him
,
as
would
any
of
the
members
of
Cowperwood
's
family
whom
he
wished
to
see
.
Cowperwood
immediately
explained
to
his
father
his
desire
for
as
little
of
this
as
possible
.
Joseph
or
Edward
might
come
in
the
morning
and
bring
a
grip
full
of
underwear
,
etc.
;
but
as
for
the
others
,
let
them
wait
until
he
got
out
or
had
to
remain
permanently
.
He
did
think
of
writing
Aileen
,
cautioning
her
to
do
nothing
;
but
the
sheriff
now
beckoned
,
and
he
quietly
followed
.
Accompanied
by
his
father
and
Steger
,
he
ascended
to
his
new
room
.
It
was
a
simple
,
white-walled
chamber
fifteen
by
twenty
feet
in
size
,
rather
high-ceiled
,
supplied
with
a
high-backed
,
yellow
wooden
bed
,
a
yellow
bureau
,
a
small
imitation-cherry
table
,
three
very
ordinary
cane-seated
chairs
with
carved
hickory-rod
backs
,
cherry-stained
also
,
and
a
wash-stand
of
yellow-stained
wood
to
match
the
bed
,
containing
a
washbasin
,
a
pitcher
,
a
soap-dish
,
uncovered
,
and
a
small
,
cheap
,
pink-flowered
tooth
and
shaving
brush
mug
,
which
did
not
match
the
other
ware
and
which
probably
cost
ten
cents
.
The
value
of
this
room
to
Sheriff
Jaspers
was
what
he
could
get
for
it
in
cases
like
this
--
twenty-five
to
thirty-five
dollars
a
week
.
Cowperwood
would
pay
thirty-five
.
Cowperwood
walked
briskly
to
the
window
,
which
gave
out
on
the
lawn
in
front
,
now
embedded
in
snow
,
and
said
he
thought
this
was
all
right
.
Both
his
father
and
Steger
were
willing
and
anxious
to
confer
with
him
for
hours
,
if
he
wished
;
but
there
was
nothing
to
say
.
He
did
not
wish
to
talk
.
"
Let
Ed
bring
in
some
fresh
linen
in
the
morning
and
a
couple
of
suits
of
clothes
,
and
I
will
be
all
right
.
George
can
get
my
things
together
.
"
He
was
referring
to
a
family
servant
who
acted
as
valet
and
in
other
capacities
.
"
Tell
Lillian
not
to
worry
.
I
'm
all
right
.
I
'd
rather
she
would
not
come
here
so
long
as
I
'm
going
to
be
out
in
five
days
.
If
I
'm
not
,
it
will
be
time
enough
then
.
Kiss
the
kids
for
me
.
"
And
he
smiled
good-naturedly
.
After
his
unfulfilled
predictions
in
regard
to
the
result
of
this
preliminary
trial
Steger
was
almost
afraid
to
suggest
confidently
what
the
State
Supreme
Court
would
or
would
not
do
;
but
he
had
to
say
something
.
"
I
do
n't
think
you
need
worry
about
what
the
outcome
of
my
appeal
will
be
,
Frank
.
I
'll
get
a
certificate
of
reasonable
doubt
,
and
that
's
as
good
as
a
stay
of
two
months
,
perhaps
longer
.
I
do
n't
suppose
the
bail
will
be
more
than
thirty
thousand
dollars
at
the
outside
.
You
'll
be
out
again
in
five
or
six
days
,
whatever
happens
.
"
Cowperwood
said
that
he
hoped
so
,
and
suggested
that
they
drop
matters
for
the
night
.
After
a
few
fruitless
parleys
his
father
and
Steger
finally
said
good
night
,
leaving
him
to
his
own
private
reflections
He
was
tired
,
however
,
and
throwing
off
his
clothes
,
tucked
himself
in
his
mediocre
bed
,
and
was
soon
fast
asleep
.
Say
what
one
will
about
prison
life
in
general
,
modify
it
ever
so
much
by
special
chambers
,
obsequious
turnkeys
,
a
general
tendency
to
make
one
as
comfortable
as
possible
,
a
jail
is
a
jail
,
and
there
is
no
getting
away
from
that
.
Cowperwood
,
in
a
room
which
was
not
in
any
way
inferior
to
that
of
the
ordinary
boarding-house
,
was
nevertheless
conscious
of
the
character
of
that
section
of
this
real
prison
which
was
not
yet
his
portion
.
He
knew
that
there
were
cells
there
,
probably
greasy
and
smelly
and
vermin-infested
,
and
that
they
were
enclosed
by
heavy
iron
bars
,
which
would
have
as
readily
clanked
on
him
as
on
those
who
were
now
therein
incarcerated
if
he
had
not
had
the
price
to
pay
for
something
better
.
So
much
for
the
alleged
equality
of
man
,
he
thought
,
which
gave
to
one
man
,
even
within
the
grim
confines
of
the
machinery
of
justice
,
such
personal
liberty
as
he
himself
was
now
enjoying
,
and
to
another
,
because
he
chanced
to
lack
wit
or
presence
or
friends
or
wealth
,
denied
the
more
comfortable
things
which
money
would
buy
.
The
morning
after
the
trial
,
on
waking
,
he
stirred
curiously
,
and
then
it
suddenly
came
to
him
that
he
was
no
longer
in
the
free
and
comfortable
atmosphere
of
his
own
bedroom
,
but
in
a
jail-cell
,
or
rather
its
very
comfortable
substitute
,
a
sheriff
's
rented
bedroom
.
He
got
up
and
looked
out
the
window
.
The
ground
outside
and
Passayunk
Avenue
were
white
with
snow
.
Some
wagons
were
silently
lumbering
by
.
A
few
Philadelphians
were
visible
here
and
there
,
going
to
and
fro
on
morning
errands
.
