PLAN A DELIVERY.
Prisoners Try to Break From
the County Jail.
WORKING THROUGH THE FLOOR

Convicts Become Desperate and With the
Assissance Of . Crowbsr Begin Digging
An Escape Through the Stone Fisgging.
Hut Are Caught In the Act.
County Jail prisoners were trus-
trated in an attempt to gain their
liberty last night. The scheme,
which Sheriff Hemenway thinks was
being engineered by the three crooks
just convicted of doing light-fingered
Jobs in this locality on the occasion
of Buffalo Bills visit to the city sew
eral weeks ago, was similar to the
one attempted about a year ago,
when some of the stone tagging was
removed.
But this time the prisoners were
better armed with tools, having in
some manner which the Jail guar
dians are unable to explain, secured
the assistance of good sized crow
bar. With this they were working
in the north end Of the east hallway,
about the darkest place in the build
ing, and where detection would be
less liable. Three OF the stone flags
in the first layer had been loosened
and operations on the lower tier
were in preparation when the scheme
was discovered.
The first intimation which the
sheriff had that all was not righ'
within the prison walls was yesterday
afternoon, when some peculiar
knocking was heard.
| Covered Their Tracks.
When the evening mess wa
brought into the prisoners Williams
alias Shevlin, one of the Chicago
trio, was found lying on a cot at the
end Of the dingy hallway. He wa
asked to move, but refused. Thel
1Sheriff Hemenway ordered littl
Investigation of matters, and hi
suspicious were we'll founded. Th'
place where the men had been work
ing through the floor was coveret
with the cot. 1t was removed an,
then the plan was exploded. Tn
crow bar was found, but the me,
had no other tools with which the
could do effective work. 1t would hav
required considerable time to loosel
the second tier Of stone, but thi
done the prisoners would only hav
gained an entrance into cellar cor
taiping several feet of water. Ther
is no window in this compartment
the only outlet being small sewe
pipe.
But what is worrying Sheriff Hen
enway the most is how that crowba
was gotten into the Jail. 1t is SUI
. posed, however, that friends of tt
Chicago trio are responsible for th
scheme by which the crowbar wa
passed into the Jail. The ouly possibl
: way, it is claimed, in which it coul
have been done is by climbing tt
west wall Of the building and han'
ing the bar through the windo
bars.

applause. The little girl does excellent

ton Of the fact that such work is not

work in the midst Of a blazing basket

King and Hahn, present some bright
features in the way of eccentric dancing
and acrObatic work The other perform
ers are equally good in their line, and the
whole show is marvellous considering the

Mr.. sam Wyley is Pain s chief pyrotech-
mist in connection with the fireworks. He
discharges all of the fireworks and does it
with system and rapidity that is remark
able. Mr.. Wyley has been with Pain for
years and has invented a number of fine
pieces Of fireworks. He was here three
years ago when two men were killed in an
explosion of fireworks at Thunderbolt.
Mr.. Rose, who is in charge of the whole
exhibition, says Pain & Son will not make
a dollar out Of the fireworks exhibition.
Mr.. Pain, he says, decided to give the very
best show possible in Savannah on account
of his past experience here, and on ac-
count also of what he hopes to do here in
the future. There is no disputing the fact
that he has made an excellent entertain
