DIR. YOUNG'S STORY.
Had Been Looking for Jail Break
For Past Three Months.

DR.. A. C. Young state prison physi-
clan, was interviewed at the prison
by News representative this morn
ing and said:
Il have been looking for this sort OF
thing for three months. Abe Majors.
Corners and the other ring leaders
have been together great deal during
that time and felt satisfied that there
was something doing. / have no doubt
that the three guns and the sand bags
were taken into the prison by Nick
Haworths wife She was here to see
him day before yesterday and no doubt
got the weapons In by hiding them un-
der her skirts. She was always very
demonstrative when she came to see
Haworth and would throw her arms
around his neck and cry. She always
acted the same and when she was here
the other day she probably found an
opportunity to slip the weapons to him
unobserved."
DR.. Young said he was greatly sur
prised at the action of Convict Maxwell,
who FASTENED to the assistance Of the
guards when the break was made,
Maxwell has been regarded as one of
the toughest characters In the prison
and was considered a dangerous man
when he was first placed behind the
bars. Lately, however, he has been a
model prisoner but II was hardly eX-
pected that he would take the part of
the guards I'm the event of a break for
liberty. This he did, however, and is
receiving a great deal of praise for his
bravery

10 a. m.-That murderer Lynch will
be captured before many hours is al
most certain. but that he VIII make
desperate fight for liberty none who
know him can doubt He Is cool and
hardened and win stop at nothing to
gain his freedom He made east
through Parleys canyon and the posse
is now hot on his trail They have sew
cral blood hounds with them and every
man is heavily armed and all are de-
tcrmined to bring Lynch back dead or
alive.
AT $50 O'Clock ,his morning the posse
parsed The watcrworks IN the canyon
and were tracing Lynch by blood
stains, The blood marks were found
every 70 or - rect and In all proba-
hl,ty the man IN badly wounded. II Is
believed that Il win be impossible for

only matter Of hours Those who are
In pursuit OF him and the prison Of

HOW LYNCH WAS WOUNDED.
Acting Warden T, C, Wright said
this morning that he was sure that
Lynch was wounded while scaling the
prison wall as there are blotches OF
blood on the wall and along n trail
leading to the creek In places
along the creek there are pools Of the
llfe's fluid, where It spurted out from
the wound as Lynch made an extra Of
fort There Is one place where there ia
a very large pool OF blood and from
the appearance Of the gorund II is APP
parent that Lynch either fell exhausted
or laid down TO rest and wallowed in
the blood.
The posse discovered the bloody trail
at daybreak ana nj once followed IL
with the hounds up the canyon. Tho
pursuing party Is headed by David M
ton and Is composed OF Andrew Tire.
r. &, Naylor ana two volunteers.
ABOUT noon Lynch's hat was found
about 800 yards from the south wall.
The headgear Is the same he wore ON
the night he attempted To- hold up Inc

shot Cot ProSsc. Tho hat has a bull

Haworth and Il was expected Of him

them into his pocket and was then

Waddell asked Schuckers what he did
with the keys and he said he gave them
10 Connors. Waddel then inquired
Of tho latter and he said he ala not

an alarm had been sounded and the
prisoners began their rush for the wall.
Mortensen, King and Botha waited
eagerly for some one to come to their

shots rang out and they realized that
their last chance Of escape had gone.

THE BREAK TEN YEARS AGO
Was Lots of Shooting but All of
The Prisoners Were Retaken.

DR.. j. $, Witcher, who was prison
physician 10 years ago, when an at
tempt was made at wholesale Jail
delivery. calls attention to the fact
that an error was made In morning
publication in stating that on the ac-
caslon OF the break referred to seven
men escaped and only one was captur-
ed, and that without shot being fired.

Witcher, "and seven men got away but
every one of them was captured, Not

IN THE HOSPITAL.
Wilckcn and Jacobs Taken to
Holy Cross Latter May Lose Leg

The injured guards. Wilcken and
Jacobs, arrived at Or. Roots Office at
1880 this morning and the former was
at once placed on The operating chair
while DR. Mayo, DR.. a, G. Young and
DR.. G. w. Stewart of Sugar House ward
operated the X-ray machine in maxi
ing an examination OF the wound, with
the aid OF the X-ray, DR. Mayo took a
photograph OF the injured leg and
foundthat the bullet had passed through
the cancelous bone. This part Of the
bone is above the knee near the hip
where the bone widens out. The ball
crashed through and badly shattered
the bone, DR., Mayo said something had
TO be done Immediately and that there
was some danger that the limb would
have to be amputated.
After the examination, the wound
was dressed and in company with
Jacobs, Wilcken was taken to the Holy
Cross hopital in an ambulance
Jacobs wounds. which have already
been described, were dressed again.

WHY THEY WORE
CITIZENS CLOTHES.

II has been cause for wonder
ment among great many Salt
Lake people that Lynch and Ha-
worth, the escaped convicts, were
permitted to wear citizens
clothes, thus making their detec-
tlon the more difficult. This is
readily accounted for from the
fact that men who are condemned
TO die, as were these two, are ac-
corded privileges that are not
given to other prisoners, and one
OF these Is that they are per-
mitted to don ordinary clothing,
An understanding Of this will dis
abuse the minds of great many
on the point that the officials Of
the state prison We're guilty of
negligence IN the matter

Bulletin from the State Prison. p.
mat this hour there is a belief that
the two convicts. Haworth and Lynch,
have gone to the north from the mouth
OF Parley's canyon and that they are
In hiding in the underbrush above Red

their efforts to escape, However, It
Ia thought here that they will be re-
taken before nishtfall dead or alive.
The blood stains that were so much in
evidence between the state prison and
the canyon We're traced northward as
stated They are without doubt from
the wound given Lynch. This wound
Is doubtless very severe on account of
the great loss Of blood. Two men were
seen in Parleys canyon about noon
not far up. but they suddenly disap-
peared again and have not since been
seen.
