The Secret Societies are so secret that visitors are not even permitted inside the huge, windowless stone "tombs" that house them, and we had our lunch on the fourth floor of a nearby University administration building...

Subsequently the suspect was transferred to a windowless maximum-security cell in the hospital area of the Central Jail for Men. A guard remained in the cell with him. Another watched through an aperture in the door. Altogether, the county sheriff's office assigned 100 men to personal and area security around the cell and the jail. For the suspect's second court appearance, the judge came to him and presided at a hearing in the jail chapel...
