A mUTINY AMONG CONvIcTs.
Daring Plan to OverpOwer the
Guards Nipped Just an Time.


Guards Nipped Just in Time.
An uprising among the convicts of Camp
No. 2 on the Dundee canal was nipped a
day or two ago. The conspiracy had
been formed among six of the long-term
convcts to strike down the guards and
release the other convicts, maSins a
wholesale escape of the whole gang, NUM-
boring forty-two men.
The conVictS among whom the conspir-
acy was formed were among the worst
on the gang. The plan was to mutny
when they were being marched into camp
from work at night. giving opportunity
10 escape under cover of darkness and
get al a safe distance before the guards
could get on their track.
Thomas Simmons, who is serving a six
months sentence for assault and bat
terry, was the leader of the conspirators.
Simmons and those whom he had let in
to his plan have been marched to and
from the camp at the rear Of the otner
convicts in charge of Guard John SaIp.
The two other guards and Capt. Allen,
in cargo Of the camp, marched along
side and at the head of the gang.
The plan was for Simmons and his
cOnspira tors to seize the guard in the rear
and take his weapons, then overpower
the other guards and release the entire
gang. In some way the conspiracy leak
ed out.
The mutiny was to have taken place
on the return from the McAlpin canal
where the gang is at work. Just when
and his fellow conspirators were sapa-
rated and placed in different parts or
the gang under the eyes of the guards
and were marched into camp as if nothing
had happened. Simmons was charged with
the conspiracy, and at once denied IT,
The evidence against him was too strong
to admit of doubt, and he was shackled
and given a ball to wear during fne rest
of his term.
