The Puzzlina Stories Told bv n Man and his
wife TO the Charles street Police.

On Sunday George A. Lincoln, Of 30
Greenwich avenue, was shot In his bed, and the
police reported that he had attempted suicide.
Yesterday Lincoln made an ante-mortem deposit
tion to Coroner Croker, denying that he had
shot himself, but he did not know who shot
him. lie said he was awakened by the report Of
a pistol close to his head and the pain Of a
wound In the forehead. There was no one In
the room himself. He cried out, I'm
shot I'm dying What does any one want TO
shoot me forT' Then he ran into the hall, and

could not swear that she had ever threatened to

Wilson that her husband had frequent nberrl-

RIGHTS OF NEGRO PUPILS.
A Decision by Judge Gilbert OF brooklyn
Boards Of Education have the Right to
Fix n Color Line in Public schools.


Judge Gilbert OF the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn, announced a decision yesterday in
a suit brought to secure a negro boy the right
Of attending particular public school. The
boy, a son Of the Rev. william +. johnson, was
excluded from School % by the Principal, w. A.
Welsh, who acted under the direction OF the
Board Of Education. The board held that, hav-
Ing established separate schools for negroes,
they had the legal power to keep negro children
out OF the schools intended for white pupils.
Judge Gilbert, when the motion was made in
behalf OF tho lad johnson, gavc what was inter
preted as meaning that the decision would bo In
his favor, but the reverse IL the truth The per-
tlnent language OF the decision is ne follows:

THE SING SING PRISON TRAGEDY.
Fnncied Trcncbcry Followed By Coid-BIood-
ed Murder Fears of a Despnrs dos Friends
The Indi,tment Of C0nviCt John Reidy.

The Indictment Of Convio' John Reidy.
Among the indictments reported by the
Grand Jury Of the westohesteT County Court
yesterday, was one against a convlc who killed
fellow convict within the walls OF Sing Sing
prison. On the 2Gth day Of June last, John
Roidy, Edward Hogan, and several other con-
vcts were working In the hold Of a sloop lying
at the prison wharf, and unloading wood for the
institution. The men on board the schooner
had no guard over them, although there were
several on shore experimenting the work. In
the absence OF a keeper, Reidy conceived the
plan OF escaping by slowing himself away in the
sloop after her load had been discharged. lie
communicated his plan to Hogan and asked him
to join In the attempt. Hogan had only n few
months to serve aud was unwilling to take tho
risk. Ho refused to have a1ythinQ To do with
the attempt but promised TO do nothing to in
terfere with its success.
Soon afterward Hogan waa obliked to 90 ashore
A keeper DESCENDED To tho hold OF the vessel
almost immediately after Hogan left IL, and re-
mained there until the cargo had been dischare-
ed and the men sent on; There had been no
OF the prison. hut Redy suspected that there
had and threatened to get even.
The men were still kept at work on the wood
pile, and an opportunity soon presented itself
Tor Reidy to revenge himself on Hogan for bis
fanced trcachery: Hogan was sltting near the
edge OF the wharf with his back to the rest of
the gang. Reidy stole up behind him aud
struck him several times on he head with n
heavy billet OF wood which he picked out from
tho pile. Hogan fell uncorscious to the wharf,
and died while they were taking him to the hos
pital. Reidy was then ordered into solitary
confinement.
AT the inquest some dlrlculiy was experienced
in getting testimony is the witnesses feared tn o
vengeance Of Reidy's, friends. This diflculty
was increased when the case vent before the
Grand Jury, and II was only after three efforts
that sufficient testimony was adduced before
that body to secure an Indictment.
Meantime the murderer vas d source OF trou-
BILE to the prison authorities. The vaRaries Of
his real or stipulated insanity annoyed both
prisoners and keepers. His wild yells were al
most unremittinR, and he was very violent when
any one approached his cell. The prison author
tiles and many Of the visitors think that be Is
sham ming, but the physir;ans disagree.
