RUSHING FOR LIBERTY.

A plot for the escape Of four hundred
conyicts at Pfatt Mines, Ala, was dis.
covered several days ago, but the prison
officials kept the matter so quiet that the
facts only leaked out on Wednesday. At
slope No. 1. about four Of the seven hun
dred conyicts are confined, and there is
only one entrance into the mine at that
place. Il seems that one OF the veins or
leads at this slope has been worked until
Il was within aiew hundred feet Of the
surface on the otherside Of the mountain.
Some Of the older conviets some time ago
conceived plan to dig outof the mine.
Others were let into the plot, mud the
conyicts would work turns on their tun.
mel after completing their days task Of
mining. The number into the plot was
increased, until nearly oil Of the four
hundred cnnvicts working in the slope
knew about 1t, and aided in the work.
Saturday, II Is said, was the day set
apart 10 force the tunnel through the
mountaip and escape. After all the con-
yicts had entered the slope that morning,
the entrance was blocked on the inside,
and then they began to dig for liberty,
the tunnel lacking only few feet Of
completion, but the plot had been he
trayed, and the guards were on the look.
out. The obstruction at the mouth OF
the slope was removed and the convicis
were driven away from their tunnel, and
forced 20 return TO work. The ring
leaders were punished, and every pre-.
caution has been taxed TO prevent an cs'
cape by the tunnel route. Only taree
months ago five conyicts escaped from
Coalburg mines, by the same means, and
only two Of them were recaptured.
