Warden johnson Of Sing Sing Prison had two
medical experts yesterday examine Antonio Ferraro
the Italian who is under sentence to go to the

man in New-York. The peculiar conduct of the
prisoner, his obtuseness and general lack of an
probation OF his position led the suspicion that
the man was not mentally sound.
