First Realization For Convict Stokes At Auburn Prison
In the new role of a convict, Stokes, transferred from Sing Sing to Auburn, realizes he killed Jim Fisks. He previously avoided cells and prison meals, living in hospital lodgings and buying food. The board of inspectors moved him to a cell, where he fainted at lockup. He secured better pants after appeal to the keeper and now works as a packer in the flag collar shop. Also noted is the State Board of Equalization completing 1876 railroad assessments: 3905 miles and 38394513 dollars, a decrease of 142406 from last year.
