PARDON HIS REWARD.


Secures His Pardon.
Walter N. Thayer, the warden Of Clinton
prison at Dannemora, n Y, went to Albany
late yesterday afternoon and related to Gov.
Flower brutal scheme Of Q number OF long.
term prisoners confined in that prison to gain
their freedom, which included the cold-blooded
murder OF several Of the prison guards One
Of the prisoners, who was asked to enter into
the murderous attempt to escape, refused, and
1t was through him that the prison authorities
became aware Of the plot The governor,
when ne heard the facts, Immediately pardoned
the prisoner who had the courage and manli-
ness to prevent human slaughter.
Al noon Sunday, in Clinton prison, as the
prisoners filed through the prison corridor, in
lock-step, on their way past Principal Keeper
Mchenna. to obtain their rations for dinner,
one OF the prisoners slipped into the hand Of
the principal keeper piece Of brown wrapping
paper, two feet long by q foot wide, which wal
written upon both sides in lead pencil
The keeper was astounded to find thereon the
details Of plan by which a number OF PRISON.
ers hoped to escape. The writer. after relating
that he would not join the schemers because Of
the brutality Of the plot, said the attempt wal
TO be made after midnight Sunday night Two
OF the conv1cts in the scheme, named Beace and
Wright, had their doors cut, to establish easy
|
knife and heavy iron bar. With these they
were to sally forth when the guard made his
round, kill him and take his revolver. They
were then 70 so to the Office and kill the othe,
guard. All the prisoners in the scheme were
subsequently to be released.
Keeper McKenna immediately notified
Warden ThAyer Of the plot, and a search Of
the cells Of the men named revealed matters
to be just a. stated in the letter. Other
cells were searched and positive evidences
Of the completely Of two other convicts were
found.
Both Governor Flower and Warden Thaye,
refused to divulge, for the present. at least, the
name OF the prisoner who probably had saved
the lives Of several prison guards. They
thought it might bring trouble upon him. II no,
from the prisoners whom he gave away
probably from some Of their friends outside Of
the prison.
The warden did not 60 near the prisoner
after receiving his communication, and said
last night the latter probably does not yet know
the result OF his warning.
The fortunate man was received at the prison
in August. 1892, and had four years to serve fol
grand larceny. The crime was committed In
New York city, where the prisoner has a wife
and children
Warden Thayer left for DannemorA at mid.
night with the pardon in his pocket.
