The ESCAPE OF FOUR PRISONERS FROM SfyG
SIsG.-On Wednesday last the fog was 70 thick on
the Hudson River that at the distance Of ten yards
nothing could be distinguished The guards at Sing
Sing were all doubled. a. well extras on the ice
opposite the prison; but notwithstanding these pre-
csutions desperate attempt to escape was made by
four convIcts who worked in Holroyd & Platt's SAW
shop Their names are William E. Roberts, Joseph
Stevens Thomas Sinclair, alias Fred WinslOw, and
Francis Frees They attempted to pass between the
guards upon the ice but were seen and fired upon,
wounoing Roberts, the ball pasing through the thick

painful that hecould not proceed any further. The
convict ST. phens was with Roberts. and would not
leave him. though desired TO DO by Roberts and the
gusrcs coming up, they were arrested The other Two

whom they abed for socIe cIothes. The Dutcbman
replied: Eyes; you come with and I'll give you
some clothes" Frees accompanied him to the house;
but it il supposed that Winslow su'pecting something

he would 90 and fetch him some clothes, but came
back with constable from Hsverstraw, and the third
convict was arrested The fourth (Wins'ow) is deg
perste fellow and as cunning az fox. This is his
second attempt to escape. There Is report that he
was arrested a. Nyack ard no doubt by this time he
lie at his old quarters. Some idea may be formed in
regard to the thickness of the fog, when it ia known
that the officer who arrested Roberts and Stephens in
making his way back to Sing Sing, actually landed
with bis prisoners at Roekand, the opposite side Of
the river.
