The wethersne,d Crime.

The killing of Keeper Shipman at the Wethersfeld prison and the disclosure of the plan of escape that led to his death, should teach the managers of that prison san important lesson. v
 It seems that forger named Brown, in custody there, had friends in New York who were willing to advance money to en- able him to escape. Brown engaged two convicts named Allen and Hamlin in his plot. and night watchman named Davis was corrupted with the offer of $500. Re- volvers. $500 in money. and tools to force the bars were conveyed to Allen and Hamlin by Davis. it being expected that they could effect their escape during his watch. Davis therefore unlocked the cells of Allen and Hamlin, and let them into the main prison hall, but their tools were not strong enough to force away the bars of the outside win dow as they had expected. The time coming for Davis relief. his place was taken by Shipman. For him the prison hall was complete trap. He was sud- denly assaulted by Allen and Hamlin, but though overpowered, piuckily persisting in giving the alarm in disregard of their threats, and Hamlin finally became so en ragged that he shot him through the body inficting mortal wound. Shipman's cries. however, at last aroused the guard outside. Hamlin and Allen were hunted into the prison loft. and finally surrender ed. Davis, whose complicity was not discov- cred for some days. effected his escape. < 1t does not appear that Brown had been released from his cellowhen Shipman re- lieved Davis. though that was part of the plan. He cannot therefore be made responsible for the crime of Hamlin and Allen which formed no part of the origi- nal program. Those men have both been indicted for murder. and will no doubt be both found guilty of murder in the first degree. agtGf.f Ioa aate5.- Q
 The fact that $500 has corrupted pris- on keeper shows that there has been alseeconomy practised in the selection of that force. Its wages are so low that there are frequent changes, and the men employed are not of grade to be abso. lutely trustworthy. The position is one of responsibility and risk, and should be well enough paid to give the State per- manent, reliable body of keepers. .
 It is proposed that the family of the he- roic Shipman should be voted hand- some gratuity out of the State Treasury,a measure of simple justice rather than of generosity, a.. .. -... -...,.er.
