JAIL DELIVERY AVERTED
Letter From a Prisoner Opened-JaIIor
and Guards at MuskoRee to
Have Been Killed.

There was scene yesterday
in Judge Springer's court at
Muskogee that had not been
put down by Clerk Winston as
liable to occur during his alb
sence.
a prisoner, whose name the
Sayings representative was un-
able to learn, was brought be-
fore Judge Springer to receive
sentence for horse stealing. Be
fore the judge pronounced the
sentence he asked the prisoner
what he had to say. The pris-
oner responded that he had
been betrayed by counsel and
that the states witnesses were
all perjurers. That his attorney,
General Turner, had violated
every contract entered into with
him and he pronounced him a
scoundrel and a william. This
brought the rotund form of the
doughty general up standing,
and taking a step toward the
prisoner he said: IF you were
not a prisoner | would cut your
id throat from ear to ear, you
lieing, thieving, william"
Judge Springer raped for
order, which was soon restored,
when General Turner stated
that some time ago the prisoner
at the bar had given him a let
ter to mail to his mother. He
was rather suspicious that the
letter contained something else,
and stepping into Col. Marcum's
Office the gentleman opened the
letter. when il was discovered
( that in it We're directions and
an outline of a plot to kill the
iailer, murder the guards and
deliver the 240 prisoners. The
plot was ingenious and but for
the opening Of the letter and
the disclosure Of the plan would
no doubt have succeeded and a
horrible butcherv would have
been placed on the records.
The officers of the Jail We're
apprised at the time and due
precautions were taken and the
ring-leaders III the scheme put
in irons until yesterday, when
they were sent tc Leavenworth.
After Judge Springer had
heard General Turner's state
ment he pronounced sentence
on the prisoner and gave him
fifteen years at Leavenworth.-
