 The men then secured MT. Wilder and using him as d shield went to the main gate and were going to demand the keys from Gate Keeper Clark. When they got to the gate they were met by the superintendent with the ssecTetary of the prison, both armed who held them prisoners until they were disarmed and Mr. Wilder re- treated from their clutches.
