"All out for sing sing," rang
out aharp and clear, and we atepped
down from the cam to tbe atrag.
ghng little hamlet, which ia the
moat fauioiw of New York'a penal
colonlea, and tbe name of wbioh ia
known a the Mecca of crime and
ain from tbe rising to the going
down of the aim. Far away to the
uorth rlaet bold against the akv
the grin ontlinea of the Shango
niountaini, and in the dim perapec
tive tbe grand old Oatakills tower
toward the clouda. Ia front of yon.
to tbe wert, tbe green bills rise
blulffrom tbe abining river; at
your rear, to the east, the hilla riae
harp aud abrupt, their auninuta
being crowned with tbe costly
country houses of our city million
aires, who here neck repose and re
enperatiou from tbe turmoil and
excitement of trade and 'change.
Hut it is not with them that we
have to du to day; for nearly to
the south rises a straggling mam ol
granite and brick, bantu and for
bidding. This is the prison of tbe
state. A sharp turnup tbe bill,
and the Via Dolonm, or tbe way
of sorrow, begins; it leads to Hit-
prison gate. Sorrowful way, In
deed. How many thousands ol
weary fuet have trodden It forth'
last time, a they toiled sorrowful!)
ou toward the gate which led to
living death a . gate they wert
doomed never to repass till tbe sil
ver cord was loosened and tbe gold
en bowl was broken. What gloomy
chronicle can ever tell of the bitter
agony, the sorrow, and tbe scald
ing tear with which every step ol
tbe path was consecrated. Over
this road, on the way to tbeirdooni,
have traveled men of every degree.
Generals who stood in the battle's
front and won immortal renown;
mluiatcni of Christ who preached
the word acceptably to admiring
thousands; railroad presidents
whose names were known through
out the land; bank cashiers who
have handled millions, and who in
an evil moment fell all have trod
den this sorrowful way. Arriviug
at tbe brow of tbe hill, the portals
of the prison opened before us. A
slight descent past an iron door,
and we are sharing the shelter ot
hundreds of tbe most notorious and
daring criminals that the world has
ever secu. Previous to entering
the doomed enclosure I stepped
into the office to obtain permission
of the warden for my visit A
waitof a few minutes, and a pleas
ant faced gentleman clad in while
flannel, aud touching the fifties,
advanced towards me. Ibis was
the warden, W. B. Brown, the
hero of the late successful electro
tuition, and a few weeks ago the
best abused man in the state of
New York. It needed but a mo
ment to make known my request,
which was to nee the prison. It
was granted at once, and consigning
mu to the charge of bis son, whom
he directed to see that I was put
upon my way, I was ushered into
the prison yard. The granite build
ing where most of the convicts are
confined is Btrong aud substantial
enough, but most of the workshops
where the convicts are employed
have an old, worn, dilapidated ap
pearauce, an absence of all modern
conveniences, and, iu brief, are a
disgrace to a great state like New
York, which has laid out between
fifteen aud twenty millions of dol
lars on tho most ill-contrived cap
itol to be . found in the United
States. But it was not the build
ing I went to see, but many of those
whose criminal history has been
told in these letters for several
years back. Just as I entered tho
jail, Ferdinand Ward flitted by
with a paper in his hand, appar
eutlv as unconcerned as when he
occupied his elegant offices in New
York and was the chosen friend
and companion of the foremost
general of his age. What a change
from the society of the richest and
most exclusive set in this great
metropolis to the base companion
ship of murderers and thieves;
from his elegant home, rich in cost
ly furnishing and gems of art. to
this narrow priaon cell with its bare
walls of atone; and instead of a rare
company in hit magnificent dining
room, with its retinue of servants
and it service of silver and gold,
marching to tbe lock atep between
a negro thief and a white murderer
to his tlu enp and bis tin plate, but
with an appetite for bis food that
perchance be never knew in his
more prosperous days. The con
vlct are ou their way to dinner;
down they come, file after file,
their striped clothe making them
look like a huge snake, as with
low waving they sweep along.
Who is that fonrth from tbe bead
ftbelinet Tbe face ia changed,
bat I am sure that I have seen it
before. God of mercy, it Is Jaebne!
I uave not teen mm alnce lie was
president of tbe Board of Alder
men, holding power potential over
a , million and a half or people,
and having at his mercy property
valued at three thousand millions
of dollars. Not far behind him in
tbe line oomes DeBaun, once tbe
oarililer of the Park bank, who, if it
had not been for the discovery of
bis crime, would have been presi
dent of one of tbe most reliable fi
nancial institutions in the country;
but tbe man was an ingrained thief,
and be has but found bis level.
But here oomes another band;
the man in advance, who gives the
step, waves bis bead to and fro and
almost dances as be moves along; it
is a brutal face, marked and scarred
with tbe heredity of crime. Here
they come, white and black; sin has
reduced them to one common level.
Here is the negro murderer George
Foster, who slew bis paramour on
Thompson street, and behind him
marches tbe Eev. Mr.. No, I will
not tell bia name. Wicked as his
crime was, to tell bia , name no
can do no good. "Let the dead
past bury it dead." Oncebemin
Istered to one of the most fashion
tble congregations lo tbe city; hi
had a lovely wife and family; hi
bad tbe love and respect of all who
knew him; a happy home, brilliant
prospects, everything to make lift
desirable. But tbe devil lured him
and be fell. Tbe lovely yonne
wife of a member of his congrega
lion infatuated him, and in an evil
hour be forgot wife, children, home,
and God. Then came tbe discovery
and flight Stranded in a strange
city with her who had led him
down to ruin, ha added forgery to
his other Crimea. Detection and
swift retribution Boon followed,
and now be toils sorrowfully on,
eagerly waiting for tbe day which
shall be 'The be all and tbe end-all
here." But what of her who
shared his Bint "Found dead," is
the brief chronicle that closes this
sorrowful history. Who is the
ninth in the line, in the fourth
company, that files int He keeps
his face well averted, for he evi
dently does not care to recognize
bis old friends. There can be no
mistaking that villainous profile,
for in the assemblage of criminals
in front and behind him, there is
nothing meaner or more despicable
thauhe. This is tbe famous Law
yer Dunn, who robbed the friend
who trusted him, Scott, the thiev
ing bank cashier, who stole a quar
ter of a million from his bank and
trusted two hundred thousand to
Dunn, who robbed the thief. It is
an old saying that there is honor
among thieves. Dunn broke the
record; and notwithstanding all
his legal lore and all his smartness,
here he is, for some years to come
at least
There were many more in that
liue whooe history I could sketch,
and may, at some future time.
A prison at best is not a very
pleasant place. It is not suggestive
of enjoyment; but rigid discipline
has made it as bearable as any place
of punishment cau possibly be.
Down back in a sequestered corner
is the fatal chamber where stands
the electrio chair, and near by, the
cells of those who are condemned
to die. Flanking them to the east
is a lovely little garden, and a
broad swath of green sweeps up
towards the hill. On this side is
the warden's pleasant house, cov
ered with creeping vines and sur
rounded by fragrant flowers. It is
indeed a pleasant' and delightful
home, and it is hard to recognize
in the kindly and hospitable gen
tleman who resides there, the terri
ble ogre of the New York Tret,
who stood the boys np at the muzzle
of a Winchester on the dead line,
and, served up a reporter every
morning raw for breakfast Four
more criminals await the stroke of
Jove's swift messenger, and it is
safe to say that when the time
oomes, undeterred by paper bullets,
or tho terrible thunderings of the
press, Warden Brown will be found
at his post of duty, ready to carry
out the law as be understands it
Usually the grave covers all, and
secures beyond recall the secrets of
tbe past; but this week . death has
made disclosures more startling
titan the wildest romance.
Tbe I'erei val Flat, on 4 2d street,
are among the awelleat in town
The prices are high and the occu
pants are supposed to be rich. It ia
not everyone who la admitted there.
Yon must have good references to
s a re apartments. On opposite
sides of tbe same floor resided two
very nice gentlemen and . their
wives. One bad two children,
girls; tbe other couple were child
less. They were handsome, fash
ionable people, unknown to each
other to all appearance. One of
the gentlemen waa a broker, ; the
other a merchant The merchant's
wife went west with their children,
In tbe absence of bis neighbor on
the other aide of the floor, the
yonng merchant attempted to enter
bia wife's apartment, and, it is said,
insulted her. The outraged young
wife, on her husband's return, told
him with tears in her eyes the in
dignity to which she had been sub
jected, and he, to vindicate his
wffe'a honor, killed the man who
had insulted her.
That story reads well; but bold
on. Ten years ago, not . tar from
the spot where the murder took
place, flourished a very beautiful
young girl, whose wild and way
ward conduct made her the talk of
the town. It was not long till the
police knew her, and she might be
seen . nights in a disreputable dan
en the west siiie known " Bohe
mia. She did not lack admirers,
and among them one of tbe most
ardent was tbe man wbo was killed
this week. They were together a
few years ago at a fashionable wa
tering place called Larch moot, on
the sound. While there he fell
desperately in love with the wife of
a bank cashier who was spending
the summer there, and he induced
her to leave her bos band and live
with him, and as man and wife they
took apartments in the swell Perci
val fiats. The beautiful girl, mad
dened at being abandoned for a
rival, hung on his track like an
avenging Nemesis, and finding a
rich gambler wbo was smitten with
ber charms, induced him to take a
flat immediately opposite her rival.
These people, whose lives were so
inseparably linked, were to all ap
pearance strangers, and this chain
of crime baa led at last to murder.
What a fraud what a cheat what .
a sham were the lives of these twa
fine gentlemen and their elegant
wives in this fashionable up town
fiat! one a low gambler, and his
so-called wife a disreputable ad
venturess; the other man the mean
est kind of a thief, who, under the
sacred shelter of hospitality, en
tered his friend's house and robbed
him of his wife and children. He
has paid tbe penalty with his life,
but got no more than he deserved.
He was not slain by the man he
bad wronged, but he fell by the
baud of a gambler in a miserable
squabble for a wanton. Unfortu
nately, New York is full of these
double lives. The dark portals of
the tomb does not hide them.
Death seems to turn on the search
light. Bboapbbiv.
