A SING SING SENSATION.

THE MURDERER OF HOGAN IN THE ROLE OF A
LUNATIc-- SINGULAR ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE
TERRORISM AMONG THE coNvIors.
Since the murder OF Edward Hogan by John
Redy in Sing sing Prison on the &c ut., the ac-
cused convict mas proven himself a puzzle
TO many OF the ofeialA in that institu-
tlon. Hls manner, which at first was
that of an anected simpleton, has lately
changed to what now must be termed either real
or simulated insanity; and this is precisely The
point that has not yet been determined In the
minds oil the Keepers. If Redy is attempting
tie role of lunatic, for the purpose OF escaping
the consequences Of his alleged fearful crime, ne
is evidently overriding his part; although az
night wnen he Is either making the otherwise
cute corridors OF the prison resound with his
hideous yels, or sobbing aloud for hours to-
gethcr, as though his heart would break. 1t is
