OLD DUNGEONS UNCOVERED
Prison Built by British TAI Years Ago
in New York.


New York, Feb. 24.-Workmen, tear
ing down the old Hall of Records in
City Hall Park yesterday, uncovered
six gloomy vaults, which had not seen
a ray of light in nearly a century. With
pick-axe and crowbar the laborers
tore out a huge slab of marble in
what was the first floor of the old
building giving access to the dungeons,
used in revolutionary times for con-
fining American patriots, until New
York ceased to be British town. The
doorways connecting the half-dozen
gloomy cells have disappeared, but
the huge oak lintels on which they
swung remain firmly embedded in the
massive partition walls. The old dun
geons were built LAT years ago by the
British as part of a prison on what
was then the northernmost limits of
the city. The stone was hauled from
Haddam, Conn. Beneath the marble
floors OF the prison structure proper
were the dungeons. separated by walls
three feet thick. Four of these cells
had openings far above the prisoners
heads. but two were without openinS
except the oaken doors.
It is known that Ethan Allen, the
hero Of Ticonderoga, was an occupant
OF one of the cells, and 1t is believed
that Nathan Hale was here confined
from the time Of his capture until his
execution nearby. The building was
refitted In 1880, and since has been
used for municipal Offices.
