to his wife. Heggi has been in his pres
ent quarters since April 8, 1872, when
he was arrested on charge Of poisoning
Frederick Seigfried several years ago.
He has had one trial, but the jury disa-
greed, and he is now awaiting second
trial.
OTHER PRIsoNERs-THE ToMBs AT
NIGHT.
"Murderers' Row" is no longer favored
with the presence of the murderer of
Fisk. Since his conviction Stokes has
been occupying the condemned cell,
situated on the ground floor. The apart
ment is much smaller than his former
elegant quarters. 1t is clean, neverthe-
less, and a carpet covers the cold stones.
A bed, camp-chair, and stand, with some
toilet articles, are all the furniture. 1t
is certainly warm enough, for within
three feet of the cell door stands large
stove, and the prisoner complains of this
as we'll as of almost everything else.
Stokes, though not respondent, is not
half SO light-hearted as before his trial,
and entertains vague ideas regarding
new trial or stay of proceedings. The
inmates above are also cast down by the
fact of Stokes condemnation, but to all
outward appearances are as confident as
before.
A cell on the second tier is being fur
nished with fitting elegance for the re-
ception of John E. Simmons, the MUIR
derer of Nicholas Duryea. He is yet in
Bellevue Hospital nursing his broken
ankle, but will ere long be in safer quar-
tiers.
John Michaels is confined in one of the
most inferior cells, charged with the muir
der of Michael Mackin.
Patrick Leavy killed his wife Sarah
on Sept. 80, 1872, by striking her with a
saw, but as he had been only two days
out of an insane asylum he was undoubt-
eddy crazy, and will probably be sent
back to the asylum
James Fitzpatrick and John Lynn
robbed and murdered Anthony Lynn
last December, since which time they
have been occupants of separate cells in
the Tombs. Their cases will soon be
disposed of however, as the Discrict-At-
torney intends to take up the murder
cases Immediately.
| John Fitzgibbons has been confined in
the Tombs since Jan. 6, charged with
having stabbed and killed John O'Hare,
His abode is cold and dismal and the
prisoner will not object to a speedy
trial.
Impressive as is the interior of the
Tombs by daylight, the effect is increased
a hundred fold by darkness. There are
no visitors then, and the aristocratiC
murderer has his thoughts confined tc
himself. 1t is then he thinks most Of
home and friends, realizes more keenly
how much sweeter is liberty than revenge
and sees for himself how slender is the
thread on which hangs his existence
His dreams do not spare him, for hi
often awakes from restless sleep to re
member his awful position. If perchanct
his dreams are peaceful, doubly terrible
is the awakening from them.'
