YOUNG BEAL'S PLANS.
The Clinton PatrIclde Plans a Break
for Liberty,

lopccldl 10 tne fr6SS.l
AUGUSTA, July 15.-It has been ascer-
tanned that Charles Beal who is in Kennebec
Jail convicted of numbering his fathor, C. C.
Beal, of Clinton, by poisoning liquor which
he drank, with strychnine. has recently
planned a bold escape. Since Ross Stoyer,
the horse thief, made his escape from the
Jail by driving off the iron bars of his cell
around the windows, thorough search of
the prisoners cells was instituted to dis
cover If possible any instruments which
might be used in obtaining freedom. In
Beal's cell, nicely secreted, was discovered
highly tempered steel saw for cutting iron
and several other tools which might be en-
ployed in making his escape. He was re-
lieved of them and since that time during
the night has been kept in an extra strong
cell in the lower corridor. Previously he
had occupied an ordinary cell. 1t is not
known how he obtained the saw but it was
probably smuggled into him. From what
has since been learned it is certain that
young Beal was upon the point of making a
strike for liberty.
