THE STATE.
A PRISON PLOT.
Irving Latimer Believed to be I'M
plicated.

Irving Latimer Believed To be I'M
plicated.
About year ago Warden Hatch Of the
Jackson prison frequently saw suspicious
persons hanging about the cell block, and
was convinced that something unusual was
going on. He made a careful examination
and found that small hole had been drilled
in the wall near the grating on one OF the
hall windows in the east wing. The hole
contained dynamite cartridge sufficient
to blow out the grating. The work was
not disturbed but careful watch was kept
10 capture the men. They never returned
to complete their job. The warden believed
the friends of Burnes, the gentlemanly
burglar, were the prime movers in the plot,
and has since been on the lookout for them.
Some weeks ago Warden Hatch discover.
ed that another plot bad been planned. The
keepers discovered, so 1t is reported, that
dynamite and even revovers had found
their way behind the walls. 1t Was found
that the articles were thrown over the
walls at certain place at night, and dur
ing the day Jumper would find them
who would eventually turn them over to
Latimer.
The other morning Jumper was found
who had aquantity of dynamite concealed
in his blouse. He was taken in charge and
made confession OF the whole matter.
Latimers cell WAS searched and Warden
Hatch had the prisoner locked in one of the
solitary cells.
Warden Hatch was interviewed, but
would say little regarding the matter. He
has been working on the case and has
strong clue, and thinks he will be able TO
locate the accomplices in the plot. He does
not believe that Latimer in the father of
the scheme, but believes it is the same gang
that tried to blow up the east wing some
time ago Those who planned the scheme
evidently availed themselves of Latimer's
money.
The warden was asked what Latimer
had TO say for himself but this he did
not wish TO make public at present. He
said the evidence was overwhelming
against him, and he believed that Latimer
would make a confession. He further
stated that it would be some time before
the prisoner would have another oppor-
tunity TO plan the destruction of the state
prison. Latme~ has attempted to secure
number of revolvers, but how success
full he was is only known by the prison
officials.
Latimer has been an unusually well be
haved prisoner, and until recently has
never made the least trouble Two weeks
ago he was given "A plain gray suit in place
OF the stripe for good behavior, and was
known as one of the "good men," OF late
he has appeared very happy, so much so,
in fact, that the officers began TO be little
suspicious, believing that a secret of some
sort was behind his ever winning smile.
The plot was bold one, and would un.
doubleday been carried out at a time
when it would have resulted fatally to
many OF his fellow convicts

Aug %. Richard ID. McNaughton's store
was burglarized the night before aud the
tramp killed was one of a pair suspected of
the crime. Fox and a number of other
people were looking for the tramps, and
overtaking this one were warned to keep

lieved that the tramp carried revolver
and would shoot, fired his rifle and put
