SING SING PRISON.

EDWARD s. STOKES TRANSFER TO AUBURN-A
CoNvIcTs FATAL LEAP FROM TRAIN.
The transfer of Edward S Stokes from Sing Sing To
Auburn Prison in dran OF nfty men, Thursday
evening has occasoned derable surprise only
among the residents OF Sing Sing village vicinity
bat also the prison itself In the latter place II
universally thought by the subordinate officials well
as by the l500 inmates, that Stokes, the 'waking
gentleman" OF the institution, who had been induleed
beyond precedent ever since the day OF his arrival
there, would never be thwared the of being
selected Tor shipment to the cheeress surroundings
and unbending discipline of the dreaded prison at
Auburn; did the fear OF such
adverse fate ever enter the imagination OF the slayer
OF Fisk II appears that nearly all the other ielons
who had been drafted KEEP. locked up on separ
rate gaIeyr during the day, while Stokes, 1doubtess
feeling his tenure Of easy times, sauntered
through the prison grounds During the afternoon,
however he was called INTO the Office of the principal
Keeper. and n word OF explanation could be asked
fastened on him. In short time aftcrward he was
securely linked to a notorious jailbrd known IN the
prison as Jimmy, the Kid" and placed in the gang
OF fifty board the Among the number
Fuchs, who butchered simmons, IN Brooklyn
In conversation with Warden Youngs yesterday a
HERALD reporter ascerained that the State Prison
spectors decided weeks ago that Stokes should be
sent away in the next draft which took place About
the cause OF his be ng transferred the Warden said he
brought about by public dissatisfaction with the priv,
egcs granted TO Stokes and which were denied 10 the
other convicta He ned that the inspectors had
grown tired OF being accused OF favoritsm bis case
and concluded TO transfer him. Among outsiders,
however, another and less credable reason hinted
at 1t is certainly strange that this man, who
has only about eight weeks more to serve,
should be summarily cent to Auburn at the
expense Of the State, especially all that his
conduct In the prison has been uniformity good. When
II is considered that stokes up to few weeks since
permitted TO leave the prison every night and
to the hospital at any hour he chose, in addition
TO the privilege of providing his own table, aud in
other ways enjoy ing himself to the full bcnt Of his in
clinatons the action Of tho inspectors in transferring
him at this late date to Auburn appears Incompetent
sble II Is said that when he became aware Of the
fact Of his having been drafted he utterly amazed
and could only say that he believed the Governor
at the bottom OF IT.
