UNDER WARDEN AULL
1t Was Death in Those Days for
Convlcts to Revolt Remark
able History. of Caiifornla's
UnwaiIedP rison-La asst Revolt
Filled Thirteen Graves.

The California. state prison at Fol-
som, from which a gang of despera-
does escaped the other day, has for
many years been regarded as the most
remarkable penal institution In the
world. DuEing the years that old War
den Aull was in charge of it. it's repu-
tation as mighty dangerous place for
a convict to attempt to get out of was
built up-a reputation which was am
ply justified by its history.
Aull was warden of the prison al
most from the time it was built and
was one of the most remarkable dis
ciplinarians and keepers of law break
ers that the West ever produced. The
reputation of the prison was due to the
novel methods he adopted to make
1t a model institution. His methods
might have brought endless criticism
on him in the East. but Won him
nothing but praise in the West. where
people understood the sort of men
given into his keeping by the state.
Death was almost inevitably the pen
atty for leaving this prison without
walls. and If man escaped it. it was
because of some remarkable chain OF
circumstances that could not be fore
seen. To this day there is a little
graveyard in the prison grounds and
on almost every headstone there is
some such inscription as this:

covered, and feel I ought to warn you
not to try to escape, but If you feel you
can get away with onaIof these revolts,
go ahead. If you can get away you will
show me the flaws if my system, and
that's what I'm looking for all the
time Nobody ever got away yet
This sort Of thing rather Knocked
the nerve out of the desperadoes, and
although there Wefes 1sindividual at

big revolt until the one / am going to
tell you about now. II was probably
the last one before this one the other
day. You will understand why it put
an end to revolts under Aull forever
and ever when I tell it TO you.
There came up from Frisco once,
about twelve years ago, a life prisoner
| who had been robbing trains and
stages for years, but who before that
had been an engineer 4 He came out
West with a surveying party, and be-
| ing crook at heaEts stayed to rob
coaches and trains.
THE minute he got at Folsom he be-
gan to plot escape. For two years he
| worked away at his plot. He figured
| that he could dupe certain of the con-
yicts to get between himself and the
| guards when the revolt came, and that
| therefore all he had to fear was those
| Calling guns. -.
'He knew the general belief was that
| they covered every point Of the COM
| pass, SO being an engineer, he proceed
| ed to see if he couldn't figure out some
| one spot where he and the gang of con-
] yicts who were armed could get and

defy the gatling guns. If he could do
this, he figured, he could escape with
the entire gang, save those who would
necessarily be killed at the first fire
from the guards, who were known to be
dead shots.
We'll, he finally figured out that the
one spot where such thing was pos
sible was behind the prison ice house,
which stood on the edge of stone
quarry excavation about 100 yards
from the prison grounds. Uuless the
gatling guns trained over this ground
could shoot through the ice house,
which he knew they couldn't, 1T was
the very spot he was looking for.
1.-The next thing was to get arms.
George Sonntag, the famous train rob-
Der, who was a life prisoner at Folsom
at the time, was in the deal with the
engineer, and he got into communiea-
ton with one Fredericks, another
famous train robber, who had recently
been released from Folsom, and was
hanging out in the woods several miles
away, probably waiting to assist some
of his friends to escape.
Fredericks succeeded in placing
twenty rifles and lot of ammunition
in the stone quarry excavation one
night, and early the next morning the
carefully planned revolt occurred. The
engineer and Sonntag led about twenty
men to the quarry on the run.
"The rifles of the keepers ami the
tower gatling guns brought down about
three Of the men before they dropped
into the excavation and got their
weapons, but once there it seemed as
though they were all right and had an

4, out and stroll through the graveyard

out and stroll through the graveyard
with him.
The man would read the inscrip-
tons on the headstones, and by the
time the situation had had chance
to filter it's way through his head, Aull
would take him back to his principal
keeper and assign him to a cell and
to certain kind of work..
From the principal keeper the new
prisoner would soon learn that when
men wore red shirts it was the order
to all keepers to shoot them down in
stantly at the first sign of revolt, no
matter whether they had q hand in it
or not. At the first sign Of trouble all
red-shirted men were killed off-hand.
That was the penalty they paid for
having once made an attempt to es-
cape.
Now see the euteness of Aull Those
men. in red shirts knew that revolt
meant instant death to them, no mat
ter how innocent they were. Well, at
the first suspicion Of plot, at the first
sign of an attempt to escape, informa-
ton of it would get to Aull or his
keepers. It was death for redshirt
not to inform il he knew anything was
going on.
"Aull was always having heart to
heart talks with the prisoners. Time
and again when he had reason to be-
lieYe he had nipped revolt in the bud,
he would go to the mon and tell them
he was so sorry that he had discov-
cred the plot. On one occasion he ac-
tually made this speech to some prison
ers who had planned to get away:
Boys he said, I feel it's my duty

even chance in the battle that was to

even chance in the battle that was to
follow
Imagine the utter chagrin of these
desperadoes when the whole side of the
ice house wall, facing the quarry exca-
walton, suddenly dropped out, the nose
of a gatling gun was pointed Down at
them and a moment later was belching
a steady fire of bullets into their ranks.
1t was one Of the cruelest slaughters
California ever saw, but old Aull real
lied that it was necessary massacre,
and in the preservation of the system
of Folsom he llesitated at nothing.
Thirteen of those men were shot to
pieces In that excavation and their
bodies were buried in the little prison
graveyard with inscriptions on their
headstones telling how they met their
deaths. The rest were nurSed back to
life and became redshirt men.
THAT was the last revolt at Folsom.
Old Aull thought there might be some
flaw in his system that successful es-
cape would develop, but he had long
before figured out that ice house as a
likely place for q prisoner with a me-
chanieal turn of mind to select as a
spot where the gatling guns would not
reach him. SO he solemnly rugged up
a gatling g. on the premises and ad-
justed the side of the ice house so II
necessary ne could drop it to the
ground.
ut would be supposed that Aull
would fear for his life, but he knew
not the meaning of fear. In fact, he
loved the danger of having these deS-
perate characters in his prison 80 much

casionally send real bad man to San

institution UP to it's high mark he
SET In Aulls time such an outbreak
would have been possible for a few
minutes had there been any prisoners
desperate enough to make the attempt,
but at least dozen new graves would
have had to be dug the next day for
the dead.
"Aull was a remarkable old man.
He was as gentle and soft-hearted a
man as ever lived. but that jail was his
idol, and he would have killed thou
sand men before he would allow an es-
cape to mar it's good reputation.
1T was he who refused to have walls
about the prison. He said he could
keep any number of men, no matter
how desperate they were, and, though
it cost much blood for him to prove
it, he proved it in the end.
'AuH had a system for keeping pris-
oners. In the first place on all the
watch towers he had gatling guns.
These guns covered every possible
avenue Of escape, so that no matter
how serious an uprising came, the fire
of at least one gun could be turned
on the spot where it was worst
mo man who. couldn't use a rife
with skill could remain at Folsom I'M
der Aull, as Keeper. Once every week
the keepers were obliged to prive their
efficiency at the target and if man fell
below S5 out Of a possible 100 three
times he was dismissed from the ser
vice of the prison.
Now Aull got the most desperate
kind of men as prisoners. There were
train robbers, murderers, outlaws,
bandits. every kind of Western GRIM
inal, and almost all of them men who
came to him for life, Or for terms SO
long that there was little chance of
their ever finishing them. They were
men who had very little to lose in a
skirmish for liberty. and therefore they
had to be handled with the greatest
care. They were men who constantly
plotted some means of escape, and 1t
had to be firmly impressed upon them
that death, certain death, was the re-
suit of even an attempt to get away.
AT any rate, that was the theory
| that Aull held, and how he carried out
his theory makes the most interesting
chapter in the history of this remark
able man and his remarkable prison.
| When man came to Folsom for life
or a long sentence. Aull would take
him into his Office, invite him to sit
down and talk to him like this:
Pete, / reckon you figure on es-
Gaping from here sooner or later, and
| maybe taking some of the other boys
with you. Now, Pete. / want to tell
you haven't the Si1SnteSI objection TO
you trying.
There's no bread and water diets
in this prison and no dark cells, and
when man tries to get away from
here and we get him back, Pete, we
either bury him or we treat him just
as well as we ever did. Most of the
time We bury him, Pete.
There's few men working out
there in the yard, Pete, with red shirts
/ on. Those are some fellows VINO have
made attempts to get away and have
been brought back. When that happens
we put red shirts on them.
Now, if you'll take little walk
with me, Pete, I'll show you some of
the other fellows that we brought back
and didn't have to put red shirts on,
and then old AJif would take his me-

LION CUBS ARE BORN
IN NEW YORK zoo
Death and the Stork Hover Together Over
the Cages of the Leopards.

NEW YORK. Aug. 15.-The Central
Park menagerie had its population in
creased yesterday, and there Is fair
prospect that one Of its members will
pass away In very short time.
Rose. the big eight-year old Iioness,
gave birth to three bouncing cubs be-
tween II 80 and o'clock. In the mean
time Leo, the proud father, in the next
cage, kept the public informed of the
happy event by prancing around and
emitting an occasional roar Even Billy
Snyder, the keeper. did not know Of the
arrival of the little ones until from
Roses box lair was heard diminutiye
caterwaul which Billy says can alone
be made by cub lion. Then the keeper.
with the superintendent of the lion
house, Peter Shannon, climbed UP on the
cage and discovered Rose with her first
born infants.
The little lions and their mother were
boxed up so that the public could not
get sight of them yesterday, but prob
ably they will be on exhibition today.
Across the. path, on the other side OF
the house. IS the cage of Juliet, the
leopardess. There has been considerable
rivalry between Juliet and Rose to see
which would be the first to save the
Central park house of felines from the
aspersion Of race suicide.

He has been ailing for several days, and
the keepers, after dosing him for several
ills, discovered that he had well-de-
yeloped case OF pneumonia, which In q

up hope for him. and today a tarpaulin
was spread over mis- cage so as TO ex-
cIude him from the public sight and make
his last hours easier.
