: BosToN, July 20 AT about 1nA5 o'clccl,
yesterday morning six OF the most desper-
ute men in tho state prison at Charles
town tried to force their way through the
bars Of one of the lower windows of the
touth wing, but were seen by Warden
Lowering and caught before they had pro-
crossed very far in their work.
All six were employed in diiIcrc mt shops
AN were long-term men, one or two being
habltual criminals, whose sentences wore
ior twenty-five years Their names could
not be asccrtained, as the warden is not
allowed under the rules of the prison
commission to divulge anything of this
character rs the commission deems it
detrimental to the best interests of the
Institution.
The men asked permission, it appears,
Of the officers in charge of the shops
where they worked to 20 and see the doc
tor, rs they were very sick The REQUESTS
were granted and the men left the shops
supposedly to see doc" McLaughlin i'm
the hospital Under the new rules the
officers can allow their chalges to visit
the doctor on the mans own statement
that he is sick.
AS soon as the men reached the yard
they walked across to the entrance lead
Ing to the north wing, and stole cautiously
In unobserved by the officer in charge, who
was at the time locking some men up in
their cells. The seXtette had with tacm
big jack screw, which they probably took
from some cell where it was secreted
With this they set to W rli on the lower
window of the second large arch Their
movements were necessarily rapid, and
two men stood upon the granite sill while
the others lifted the jack in its place
Just as operations had commenced with
r will to bend and twist the big iron bars
from their original shape, Warden Low
ering, who was seated at his desk in his
Office, happened to glance out of the win
dow, and noticed at once that something
out OF the ordinary was going on, and has
tened into the octagon, where he saw the
rau>e Of the trouble. lie called some off
GERS, who quickly opened the iron door
leading to the wing, and rushing down,
captured all six of the men
They were taken to the block, or Fort
Russell, as is better known, aud will be
given diet of bread and water until it
is considered that they have been sufIi-
GENTLY punished for their oifanse.
The jack which the men used was stolen
at the time of the fire in the workshops
several months ago. The contractors
who afterward were at work repairing
the damage missed it. but no one knew
where it went to. A search was made.
but nowhere could it be found
