AND FRIGHTESs THE COSyICTs.
WuKEsBAEKE May 1.-THE ghost OF vOlkaviJch
who was executed April =. seems To be wandering
around the corridors OF the Jail TO the great alarm
OF some OF the more timid and superstitiOlIS in
mates. About 10 O'Clock "Wednesday night while
Warden BrOckway and Deputy smith were sitting
in the main Office they were suddenly surprs ed
by loud cries from the corridor In which the long
term prisoners are kept Upon arriving In the
corridor the discovery was made that a prisoner
named John Jones was nearly crazy with fright
over the alleged visitation OF murderer NOlkayitchs
ghost ~ the door OF his cell Discovering thai he
could not be quoted, the warden ordered his re-
mOyal TO another cell
Not long after WaJchman Mcdonald was again
aroused by alarming cries proceeding from Jones
new quarters. He went 70 him and found the cold
beads Of perspiratiOn standing out his fore
head and his limbs qaak1ng violently. He asserted
that NOlkavltch's ghost had again appeared 10
him He was take1 into another cell with his
brother, who Is also confined in the Jail In the
meantime his companion In the first cell called Tor
Mcdonald. and with his face showing signs OF
alarm he said that he had been disturbed by myS-
terious noises and the rising up ami down OF the
Soyer OF the little table In his quarters. Another
man also testified 10 having seen the ghost All
the prisoners were more or less excited over the
event, and but few Of them slept after the Disturb
ance occurred
