Francis A. Coffin &ni Fercival B. Coffin, in the custody of Chief Deputy United States Marshal John E. Foley and Facial Deputy George Gasper, at 11:30 a. m. Tuesday left for Michigan City, whr? they will enter upon their unhappy lives in the prison north. Early Tuesday morninjr, even before the day turnkey at the Jail had entered upon hia regular watch, the Rev. Georg? A. Carstensen, rector of St. Paul s church, of which church Francis A. Coffin ha3 for a long time been a communicant, calld at the office entrance of the jail and rang for admission. Unable to attract attention he proceeded to the resilence of the sheriff, where he was admitted and thence conducted to the prison and admitted to a private Interview with the Coffins. The conversation was of short duration and when Mr. Carstensen came from "murderers' row" he manifested much emotion. He said the convicted brothers had 6lept well during their first night behind prison bars and were bearing up well under the. great strain incident to their unfortunate position. Mr. Carstensen had urged upon them to dissuade their wives from accompanying them, ab at first intended, to the penitentiary, and it had been agreed that the husbands should go in the company only of the federal officers. Ureakfaat at 8 O'Clook. The Coffins about S o'clock had their breakfast, served from a restaurant, in the corridor of the cell house upon a table furnished by Sheriff Emmett, covered with immaculate linen and set with fine china. The meal was daintily prepared and the brothers partook of their last meal in Indianapolis (at least for a number of years) with a well manifested relish. Later they withdrew from the table and lighting fragrant cigars were served with the morning papers and prepared to digest the news; Francis pacing backward and forward in the corridor, and Percival turning his back on the outside court and pulling his hat well over his eyes, refusing to look at those without who chanced to turn inquiring glances his way. To newspaper men Francis A. CofTin was polito as usual, but firmly declined to engage In any extended conversation; said that he and his brother had passed a restful nignt; that they were anxious to go forward to their Inevitable prison life with as little delay as possible, and that their wives would not, as at first planned, accompany them to Michigan City. Sorrow for Iii Ilrother. "While it was noticeable that Percival Coffin Indulged in little conversation during the morning, It could be easily observed that it was largely due to his naturally happy disposition that he bore the ignominy of his situation with marked self-possession. The elder brother keenly felt the wretchedness of his position, and during the morning It was demonstrated that much of his sorrow was for Percival. Once he openly expressed himself in that direction. He protested that "Percy" had been guilty of no wrong; that the younger brother had been nothing more than a subordinate employe of the Indianapolis cabinet company, and that his guilt was no deeper than that of Reed, who was then enjoying his freedom. The wives of the two men called at an early hour in the forenoon and remained In close conversation with their husbands for a long time. Among the many others who called were John Roberts and son. "W. II. II. Miller. Ferdinand AVinter, J. V. Hess, Joseph R. Perry and family. Miss Raster and Miss Marmon and Lawson Harvey. Kmnloyea Received. During the forenoon E. F. Conlen, an aged and tlly-dressed Irishman, who had for many years been employed by the Coffins, called at the jail and asked to see the Coffin brothers. At Francis's request the. old man was admitted and warmly received by his old employers. Another unpretending caller was Mrs. Watkins, an old Irish woman, who had been for a number of years a servant in the Coffin family. She was i lso received In the kindliest manner and finally left the Jail, her eyes filled with tears. Pete Egan, the driver of - a hack, who said that he had lost the savings of several years in the breaking of the Indianapolis national bank, drove to the jail and announced that he had come for the purpose of giving the Coffin brothers their last hack-ride to the Union station on their way to the state's prison. He was informed that his offer would be declined. At 11:20 a. m. Marshal Hawkins, with a chain-gang of federal prisoners, who had been taken to court for arraignment, appeared at the Jail, eeompnied by his deputies. After turning over the prisonera of low degree he Informed Jailor Collins he was ready to start to the Union station with the Coffin brothers. MnrMhnl llnwktn Appear. Marshal Hawkins had with him the prison commitments for the Coffin brothers, the only difference in the papers being the specified number of years in the terms of imprisonment. The commitment was as follows: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. DISTRICT Or INDIANA, ss. The Fresident of the United States to the Marshal of the District of Indiana Oreetlng: Whereas, By the Judgment of the district court of the United States In and for said district, at the May term thereof, on the fourth day of June. A. P., 1S94. Francis A. Coffin, who before, in all court, had been convicted of record ct th crim of violation of th national

In sail district, for the term of ten years and to pay to the United States the cost of this prosecution, taxed at . You are therefore hereby commanded to deliver th body of said Francis A.

Raker. jud of the district court of the United States for the district of Indiana, and the seal of said court, this fourth day of June. A. D.. 1S34. XORLE C. BUTLER. Clerk. At 11:30 the prisoners, in rharg of the marshal and depuii-s. started from the county prison for the Union station on foot by the way of the railroad tracks, that route being a more secluded one. The Coffins were faultlessly dressed, both wearing neatly-fitting gray suite; Francis carrying a nw spring overcoat on his arm and Percy wearing his. Roth carried light hand-bags. There wer but a comparatlvMy few persons in the Union station when the prison party arrived, and there was. in consequence, little or no unpleasant experience from inquisitive and unfeeling onlookers in storo for the brothers. A StronK CnntraX. At U:"0 the officers nr.d their prioners boarded the Monon train and a few minutes later it pulkd rut of th station on its wuy to the north, r-rry Coffin immediately beean a reading of Jules Verne's "Mirhael Ptrogrff" and his brother noticing the look, filtered upon a description of a mafcnififnt t-tape-setting cf the pity, which he had seen in New York several years ago. Just across the aisle from the i-rotners sat Oeorge prown, clothed in tatters. wrtt-hed as wretched could be and on his way to the same pentltentiary as the Coffir. They had been convicted of asslMär: in the wrecking of a bank. Re Wa simply under sentence fur stealing about two dollars' worth-of old clothing. Marshal Hawkins left the patty at the Massachusetts-ave. station and the train sped on toward the ";:loon:y prison ty the lake."

I PRISON CELL. The Cnfllm Received at Hie I'enltemtinry Donninn the Mripe. MICIIICAN CITY. Ind.. Jvir. 5. Special. At S:10 o'clock tm'eht Francis A. Coffin and Percival R. CofTin dinned the prison stripes and twenty minutes later shook hands with Deputy Marshal John Foley. George Gasper sn i the representatives of the press who had accompanied them from Indianapolis, and wer conducted down the long corridor of the cell house. In which r-iO convicts were resting after their day's work, and disappeared in cell So. r,. The heavy doors of steel were locked behind them, the bars were replaced and they wtr left alone for the night. Roth men were tired out after th nervous strain of the day, but bore tha ordeal bravely. They had already received every consideration that It wae In the rower of the warden to extend to them, and as they shook hands with him for the night tears stood in the eyes of the elder prisoner as he thanked the warden for his kindness. A Trj Ins Trip. It had been a trying trip to the two men. After the train left Indianapolis the two brothers sat for some time beside each other, and facing Deputy Foley, while Deputy Gasper sat behind. At the Massachusetts-ave. station there was assembled a large number cf the former employes of the Coffins, and as they shook hands with the men through the car window it was pathetic. For the first time In all his trouble Frank Coffin broke down and tears filled his eyes. The men ran after the trnin fr several yards after it hd Parted, and, turning away from the window, Frank said, in a broken voice: "That was about th toughest thing I have h id to go through! These men would have broken down the doors of the Jail if they had thought that it would have done any good. The most of them have been with me for twelve years." After Indianapolis lud receded In the distance Frank ceased to look out of tha window and sper.t sme time with his brother-in-law, John N. Rob -its, who accompanied them a.s f.ir as Frankfort. Here Mr. Roberts left to return home, and the men shook hands cordially. Ha was the last of tho relatives to leave tha two men and for a few moments they both appeared cast down, but shook off the ttmporary weakness und Frank went over to the seat occupied by the Rev. Cm. A. Carstensen, who accompanied them from home and will leave for Indianapolis in the morning. He came up for the purpose of securing for the men all aocomin.Hlations jK.s-ib'.e and wa warnjjy ereet-d bv the warden, with whom ki is on intimate terms. Frank remaine.1 in conversation with Dr. Carstensen f-r an hour, while Terry played cardä in the rear of the car with the representative! of the press. Frank Colli n Talk. Later during the trip Frank Coffin talked at length with The Sentinel representative and spoke of the fortitude required to bear up under the strain. "Five months ago," said he. "I thought for some time of three things flight, suicide, and standing it like a man. Tl:a first would have be-n disgrace, th-? second even more so. and the third left me what I cannot be robbed of, and that is my self-respet. I g into the penltent'.arv with' the feeling that I am Innocent, and that will ln-ar me up. I am not sorry s much for myself a.s I am for IVrcy. He is the baby of the familv and it will ruin bis life. It dtoS not take nerve to face a thing lH;e this. it ttkes common s. nse. It is a situation and th. I est way out of it is to fa.e It like a man." R,,th men appeared cheerful during the trip and talked with one and nother until the train reached here at 5:5 thta evening. On the way at every station they were stard at. Everybody seemed to know them, and at sonve pUocs crowd had congregated at the stations. Tha trainmen told who they were at ether places and after that they were closely watched. Even as far away as Monon they were recognized and curious groups stood by and tared at them. A Fellv 1 Kenner. t Tn the same car all the way up was Deputy SherifT Linning with a two-yea prisoner fr burglary, who was heavily i haired, and Frank made several Joking remarks about the appearance of the man, and the fact that he was a fellowconvict. As the party got off the train here a hotel runr.er placed a card la Frank's hand, which urged him to stop at a hotel, the rates of which were but $1 a day. Frank lauehed and said he would gladly stop at his hotel if permitted. The party walked from the train carelessly so as not to attract attention, and over to a car standing near on whic h was the placard. "Ninth-st. atxl the Prison." The two men looked at it for a second and then Frank remarked that they W'8 nenring their destination. The Sign looked ctninous. All laughed and talked till the cm stopped In front of the entrance to '.he prison at 6 o'cloek. They were recel.-4 at the entrance by Warden French, the Rev. ilr. Caa Stensen, who bad lihatuwrfl
