PLOTS AND ESCAPES.
The history OF old Newgate is replete
with interesting stories of the attempts
Of prisoners to gain their liberty. Some
of them are of thrilling interest. 1t
might be supposed that escapes would
be impossible, but shurp-witted and des-
perato convicts frequently succeeded.
The first general escape was during the
Revolutionary War, when the prison had
been but recently occupied. The small
number OF prisoners were shut in a
chamber, and it was the custom of the
Warden to carry them their meals. There
was an anteroom or passage through
which to pass before reaching their cell,
and the Warden looked through the
CRATES into this passage to observe. wheth

they captured him, went out, locked the
door upon him, and in few minutes
were beyond the walls. However, an
alarm was speedily raised, and nearly all
were recaptured by the people in the ad.
