Secrets of the Prison House.

The following confession of Sing Sing Prison
Keeper, is from the PeeksklIl Republican.
A convict by the name Of Cole, who was for
merly connected with the circus company in this
city, recently struck at keeper, (Who approach
ed him for The purpose Of dogging him,) with a
red hot bar of iron, for which he was fogged sew
eral hundred lashes.
Mr.. Eldrilge, the keeper at whom Cole Struck,
according to the Peeksville paper, gives the fol-
lowing explanation of the reasons which induced
Cole to strike at him.
1t was known that when Cole struck at EIdrdge
with the bar of red hot iron, he said at The same
time, 'otd feHo1C Iowe you one
Mr.. Eldridge was called upon to state what
Cole meant by that decla ration, and he proceed
ed in the bar room and in the presence of several
gentleman to explain its meaning.
FHe said in the year 1881, Cole was in the Pris-
OH serving out a previous sentence, and at the
same time, he, EIdridge,] was Deputy keeper,
which situation he subsequently resigned, and that
Cole was in his gang A difficulty arose between
Eldridge and Cole, which resulted in Eldridges
striking an unsuccessful blow at the convict with
the bar of iron, which had it hit, (Eldrldge said
would have killed him on the spot, and the con-
vict throwing ban of iron at E4dridge, which al
so missed its aim. Cole after resisting to the last
moment, was finally secured by the other conycts,
and taken to his cell.
'And, continued EldridIe, Il gave him SOME:
told him would kill him, that would leave but
single breath Of life in him, and acas good as
ma ,0ord! took him that night to the bull rings
