Then one night in October of 1937, news was "telegraphed" between the prison cells that Katherine had been killed in an accident．The prisoners asked the warden to allow them to attend her funeral．He agreed to their strange request and a few days later the south gate of Sing Sing swung slowly open．Hundreds of men who had committed almost every crime imaginable marched slowly out of the prison, later gathered again at the gate and returned to their cells．There were so many that they proceeded unguarded．But no one tried to escape．If he had, the others might have killed him immediately．So devoted were they to Katherine Lawes, the woman who daily walked into Hell to show the men a piece of Heaven．

　　Katherine' s strength was to see the men less as prisoners and more as individuals．Thomas Moore once said, "We can only treat badly those things or people whose souls we show no respect for．"

　　．When Katherine's husband was the warden at Sing Sing Prison, she did the following things EXCEPT_______________．

　　A．encouraging the prisoners

　　B．visiting the prison houses

　　C．doing some writing for the prisoner

　　D．spending time in listening to the prisoners

　　5．Why did the prisoners ask the warden to allow them to attend Katherine’s funeral?

　　A．Because Katherine didn't look down upon them and cared about them．
