day night about half-past 10 o'clock, whil'
the stiffness of death reigned at the Contra
Station, the most terrible yells of ''murder !!
"ghost " and such like came from cell No. 4
The turnkey, night clerk and reporters
thinking that some of the prisoners were en-
gagged in desperate ARRAY, rushed into thu
lookup, and to their surprise found that the
cries came from q young negro who wat
locked up in the cell with an old man.
It appears that the two prisoners, weary
with the fatigue Of a big drunk, had fallen
asleep. The old man, whose conscience was
free from care and worry, stretched himself
Il It on his back and fell into q sound slum Der.
The young African, who had also been taking
a sweet snooze, suddenly awoke, and, seeing
his fellow-prisoner, as he thought, stiff and
cold in the arms of death, visions of ghosts,
hobgoblins aud demons of the unknown
world wrought his mind up to the highest
pitch, and, becoming alarmed, he called for
help to relieve him from the spirit of the IN
| known.
