NEAR TO FREEDOM.
Convicts FOiled in Shrewd
Scheme to Gain Liberty.


Scheme to Gain Liberty.
FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 30.-W arden
Norman has discovered and foiled
plan for big outbreak of prisoners.
The outbreak was the most Gun ningly
planned of any i'll this prison, and the
timely discovery prevented, no doubt,
a big delivery of prisoners. The plan was
even more complicated and shrewdly
concocted than was the famous escape of
the Morgan command of soldiers at Co
lumbus, O., during the war. A hole
had been cut through workshop bench
and under the floor TO the mouth Of
tunnel that had been dug fifty feet i'll
length and to within ten feet of big
sewer just outside of the prison wall.
The men craWled through a window
into the shop and did their work Sun
days, evidently working toward the big
sewer. When once reached they could
have walked single file down to the river
bank half mile below town. 1t is not
thought more than half-dOZen men
were engaged in the work at once, and
some must have seen the warden enter
the shop Sunday afternoon. After the
warden begun his secret Sunday watch
the work stopped. The warden kept
quiet and told no one that he was watch
ing until yesterday, when, abandon
ing hope of catching the willy tnnnelerS,
he had the tunnel filled up and fresh
guards added to that portion OF the
shop.

Hudespeth was executed at Harrison.
Ark, today for the murder of George
Watkins in 1887. Hudespeth was
hanged for the murder of man whose
body was never found. The murderer
worked for Watkins on farm in Mar

town. Since that morning Watkins
has never been seen. Hudespeth was
arrested on suspicion Of murder. Mrs.
Watkins, afterward incarcerated,
charged with being an accessory to the
taking off of her husband, was taken
fatally i'll, but before dying confessed
that Hudespetb killed her husband to
get him out of the way so he could

KILLED BY THIEVES.
An Old Woman's Throat Cut With
Her Own Bread Knife.

New YORK, Dec. 30.-Some time dur
ing last night thieves killed Mrs An
nette Ahern in her home at 424 West
Forty-fourth street. Her throat was
cut from ear to ear with her own bread
knife. When her body was found to-
day the bloOd-stained knife was discov.
cred behind it. Mrs. Ahern was
widow. She owned the house in which
she lived. She owns another in Brook
lyn. 1t was her habit to collect the
rents of both houses. The confusion in
which her room WAS found indicates
clearly that robbery was the motive Of
person or persons who killed the old
woman. The door to her rooms had
been broken in. Every place where
money might be concealed had been
gone over thoroughly. Whether the
thieves killed the old woman III their
rage or whether they killed her after
they had secured the money or when
she made a struggle, are still questions.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 30.-The failure OF
the Masonic Savings bank eighteen
months ago has caused many suits,

at o'clock this evening in the law and
equity court. The Germania Safety
Vault and Trust company, assignee Of
the defuuct bank. brings suit against
the directors for 1915. 600. The plaintiff
alleges the directors were guiltyOf gross
negligence in the management of the
bank, and to this cause a loss Of
S375,000 is attributed. The presi
dent of the bank, the late
Jacob Kriger, and other officers
borrowed enormous sums from the
bank without security and without the
knowledge of the directors, and this
was especially prohibited by the char
ter of the bank. Tne money was sunk
in big enterprises and could not be
realized upon when the bank panic
commenced in this city in the SUNNI er

Bequest Of PiUtsburg frishman
Which Amounted to
Nothing.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 30-That it is some
times necessary to go away from town
to learn the news is illustrated by the
following rather remarkable statement
which appeared in the Hershfelder
Germany Zeitung, of recent date, re-
lating to an immense fortune alleged to
have been bequeathed to President
Elect Cleveland by Pittsburger. The
news item reads:
>.'The newly elected president of the
United States of America is one of the
rich men in his country, as his wealth
amounts to not less than S20,000.000.
Cleveland can. therefore, lead quite a
comfortable life and will not be re-
auired to rely upon his by no means
large salary as president. 1t might. how
ever, be of interest to know Mr.. Cleve-
land laid the foundation to his colossal
wealth when he was first elected presi-
dent in the year 1884. A PittSburg
millionaire. who died in the year 1865,
Willed his whole fortune to the first
Democrat who should be elected: as
therefore Cleveland was elected In 1884.
and being the first member of the Dem
cratic party who had assembled to the
presidential chair, reckoning from the
fCdl lOUo tlC lltSUuIRcI . DcQucSG Woo
adjudged to him, which, with interest
and compound interest. amounted to
S5.000,0 900, and formed the solid bsse to
the s20.00O,u00 which Cleveland has
amassed as his fortune"
The records of the Allegheny county
registers Office shows that German
newspapers can make wonderful I'M
prOvements on the truth in the narra-
tive of story. The item given has the
following foundation: In 1879 an IRISH
man who had lived in this country for
kng time was gathered to his fathers
without having had the experience of
d long-life De locratic administration.
He made will bequeathing his entire
estate to the first Democratic president
Of the United States. The will was
probated, but when the executors came
to count up the assets they found the
deceased had left will, but nothing
more. Mr.. Cleveland, therefore, did
not receive any legacy when he was i'll
augurated. Tie will was still on file in
this country.
