uties at the ''Old Bailey" acting under the
strictest instructions of their executive
head, Sheriff Whelan, hugged the damag-
ing secret TO their breasts'and not single
teiltale syllable dropped from their dis
Greet lips. But it is hard to suppress in
formation of this kind, and a CALL re-
porter yesterday afternoon was given a
clew which on development led to the
story which follows:
In cell A of the upper tier were two
prisoners. Their names are John Mason
and Walter Shear. Both are awaiting
trial for burglary. Some time before New
ears they made arrangements with a
confederate on the outside to assist them
in escaping from the Jail. This confed-
crate was to engage lodgings in one of the
tenements on Kearny street, above Broad
way, the rear of which abut against the
side wall of the jail.
While those on the inside were pecking
and boring away at the masonry, this
confederate was to use short crowbar and
chisel on the outer wall. The measure
meuts and calculations were carefully
made, and the cellmates began work forth
with.
AS nearly as can be judged the work
was under way about the first of thesyear
The inner wall is "a inches in thickness
Between that and the outer wall is blind
alley two feet in width. This outer wall
or last security barrier, as it is sometimes
called is 26 inches thick.
Mason and Shear were experts in their
work. They were unable to do much dur
ing the day, and at night they were under
the necessity OF using the greatest caution,
as the guard passed their cell every ten
minutes. But with the aid of dark Ian
tern and tools that were smuggled to them,
they succeeded in opening an aperture,
nearly square and about Is inches each
way in the solid masonry.
! When the plot was discovered there was
but one more tier of bricks between them
and the outside world. Two inches of
brick alone remained between them and
| liberty, and perhaps the liberty of many
others. Who knows that Durrant might
not have availed himself of this conYen-
lent hole in the wall?
That the prisoners were skillful and Sc
cretive in their work may be judged from
the fact that few days ago, after the work
OF Liberation had been long under way, the
cells interior was whtewashed and moth
! ing Irregular III Lhe appearance OF Cne Wills
was discovered. During the day the cheap
tissue-paper drapery of bookshelf hung
in that particular part of the wall, and
after the bricks were placed back little
water and powdered mortar served to give
/ the wall surface an honest and natural ap-
| pearance.
But on last Saturday night it was borne
in on the minds of Prisoners Moran and
Shear with eloquent force that "the best
laid plans of mice and men aft gang agIey.'
A deputy entered the cell and, having had
private information, lifted the shelf cover
ing and proceeded to examine the wall
which was thereby concealed. A few Sec
onds' inspection sufficed to convince him

medIately upon his arrival. Aside from
the President himself, Mr.. Foote is beyond
doubt the most enthusiastic piscatorial-
ist we have on the continent, and can
throw fly Just as far down the stream as
any gentleman who ever used a rod.
Last summer Mr.. Foote, accompanied
by Judge Henshaw and Deputy Comuis-
sioner Babcock, took trip to Boulder
Greek, where the festive salmon congre-
gate in large numbers. The gentlemen
upon arriving got out variety of hooks
and Immediately proceeded to put up a
job on the fathers of our canned fish out
put, with the result that in a few hours
they had taken something like several
hundred pounds of salmon from the
stream and only quit from exhaustion.
Later in the season Mr.. Foote went on to
Washington, and while there accepted an
invitation from the President to go trolling
for bluetish and bass in BuZZards Bay
where Mr.. Cleveland has so often con-
cluded to plank down his veto on some
pet measure Of new Senator. The CIeve-
land launch was put in trim and the cham
pion anglers of the two seaboards went
forth to make haul. The fish bit pretty
well, but along about sundown Mr.. Foote
who had been restraining himself all day,
took pull at the magic bitters, which are
recognized as a Jonah for bad luck, and
turning to Mr.. Cleveland, opened up his
batteries:
do you call this high-class fishing,
Grover?''
"Best in the country, Billy. Do you
know OF anything better out your way
Want mint; got bite. Here it comes

rider. 1t is intended by Charles Wikidel, /,
who is furnishing the funds, about $1,000,
to build the track to, give six days tour
nament from March 5 to March IL, in
which the best of the cyclists of the coun-
try, professional class A and class B, will
compete.
The meeting will be held under the sane
ton of the League OF American Wheel
men, and prizes to the extent of $4,000 will
be given. The date has been fixed for the
early part of March for the reason that
A. A. Zimmerman, the greatest of Ameri-
can riders, is expected to be here about
that time.
Prizes viii be given for five-mile, two
mile, one-mile, half and Quarter-mile
races, and for ten-mie club race, an
event which is expected to create much
enthusiasm. In this race heats will be
run on each night, the final to take place
on March II. The first three 1nen to finish
will be given medals.
In the class B races Zeigler, Coulter,
Wells and other crack riders of the coast
are expected to compete.
In building the track care will be taken
to render the turns less dangerous than
they were during the last tournament
when so many riders were injured. The
planking will be one foot wider on the
turns and Two feet wider on the straight
and padding to prevent bruises and abra
slons will be placed wherever necessary.
The tournament will partake somewha
OF acycle show as well as riding tourna
ment, and the dealers who are now ex
hibltlng their '96 machines at Denver ar,
expected to bring them here for the same
purpose. The track will be finished il
plenty of time to give the riders a chanc,
