Elmira. IN. Y. Aug 7.-There is every
indication that the shooting OF James
II. Gunderman, keeper OF the Elmira re-
formatory by Brooks. a convict from
New York. at that institution w dFfessst
came about through the miscarriage OF
q convict's plan TO assasslnate the gen
eral superintendent. Frank w. Robertson
and his assistant. Mcdonald.
The investigation has unearthed an
elaborate plot. month ago the store
room was robbed during lunch hour.
Many weapons were stolen and since then
officials of the refomatory have lived
life OF terror, knowing the stolen articles
were in the hands OF the inmates.
The strain was beginning TO tell on the
officers, and Supt. Robertson was on the
verge OF breaking down when Brooks
shot and seriously wounded Gunderman
and the plot was unearthed. under pres
sure Brooks made a confession that the
weapons were stolen, by the inmates and
hidden in a brick pile preparatory for
general assault on the keepers.
Supt. Robertson was expected out IN
the yard, in the afternoon and he was
TO be shot at a given signal and the 9TH
er officials assaulted. The conspirators
are now in solitary confinement.
