Stokes
cell in the Tombs has been fitted up
comfortably by his friends, of which he
seems to have good many. No fe-
males have called on him yet. He
seems cheerful, talks friendly and
unconcerned and seems scarcely to
realize the nature Of his position. No
change has been observed in his manner
since the rendition Of the verdict by the
Coroner's jury. The report that Stokes
filled himself with rum previous to
shooting Colonel Fisk is contradicted
by the proprietors Of the Hoffman
House. The Coroner will take no
further action in Stokes case until
advised by the District Attorney. Stokes
