704. He shall, upon the admission of convicts, search for any im-
proper articles upon their persons; take their height, name, age, com-
plexion, eyes and hair, place of birth and conviction, nature of the
crime and term of confinement, and also inquire into the convict's
former life, trade and occupation, and learn the leading causes of his
present condition, which shall be faithfully recorded in a book to be
kept by the clerk.

Since the warden is required by this section to keep a record of all terms
for which all convicts are sentenced, a judge in imposing sentence upon a
prisoner who at the time is serving a sentence from another court, need
only direct that it begin upon the expiration of the sentence inflicted by
such other court. Rigor v. State, 101 Md. 471.
