TRIED TO ESCAPE.
James F. Dinwoodie, Who Killed George
Wright, Implicated in Plot in
Colorado.

James f. Dinwoodie, who is serving
a life sentence in the Colorado peni-
tentiary for the murder of George
Wright, formerly of this city, was inn
plicated in an attempt to escape Sat
urday, although he claims he was an
unwilling participant, and the prison
officials believe him. Two men named
Armstrong and Russell, got out of their
cells and then, with keys they had
made or that had been passed in to
them, liberated three others, among
them Dinwoodie, who was brought to
the prison only the day before. They
bound and gagged the cell house keeper
and then sawed some bars at the rear
window. Armstrong tried to crawl
through, but the opening was not
large enough and he stuck fast. All
this had required time that covered the
half hour report time of the cell house
keeper to the captains office and an
emergency call was sounded for an in
vestigation. Two dozen armed guards
hurried to the cell house and forced the
men back into their cells. All except
Dinwoodie We're severely punished.
