THE JEFF CITY PRISON PLOT
How the Convicts Secured Arms
and Explosives.
Convict Ryan COnfesses That q
Former Convict Scaled the walls
with the 'TOOIs' at Night.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 2s.-The
mystery has been cleared about how
explosives and guns were struggled in
to the penitentiary which enabled Con-
victs Vaughan, Raymond, Ryan and
Blake to blow up the big gate, Kill two
officers and escape out of the institution
Friday last.
..Ice Box" Man GOnfesses.
George Ryan, the lice box" man from
Kansas City, made a confession to
Warden Hall and implicated an ex-
convict named H.. E. Spencer, who left
the prison on November 8, having
served a sentence from Bates county
for having burglar tools in his posses
sion. Ryan made a voluntary confess
sion to Warden Hall, whom he sent for.
The warden told him he had nothing
to lose, and could make matters no
worse for himself IL he told the full
story and gave truth. Between sObS,
n after considerable effort, he de-
tailed the plot, and this vas practically
confirmed by Convict Raymond.
An Accommodating
Ryan told the warden that Spencer
agreed to furnish guns and n~itrOglyc-
erin and dynamite to blow a hole in
the stockade to allow them to escape.
He was to purchase the guns in Kan
sas City with $40 which they gave him,
ard then go to Carthage to steal dyna-
mite and nitrOglycerin, from the mines
there. These were to be brought here
last Monday night, taken up on he
wall, which is not guarded at night, let
himself down by a rope on the inside
and take the material and place it I'M
der the bench which Vaughan used in
the factory where he worked. Spencer
was to then climb back over the wall
and make his escape.
The Plant WAS Found.
Nothing was heard from him, but
Thursday morning the supplies were
found where Spencer said he would put
them. Thursday afternoon and night
the prisoners had q consultation n
decided to capture Deputy Warden See,
Yardmaster Porter Gilvin and Deputy
YarGmaster Frank Moore and make
them open the gate and let them out
or they would blow their way out.
They proposed to capture an engine,
make a run to Moreau, blow the Mis-
souri, Pacific bridge up at that place to
prevent persons following them until
they could get to a safe place for es-
cape.
The Plot Set in Operation.
Friday they started to set their plan
in operation, when they found that only
See was in the Office. They started
with him and two strangers they found
there to get through the round gate
when the big gate was opened. hen
they changed their plan and started
through it. Officer Clay appeared with
a drawn weapon and they killed him.
They fastened the gate and ordered See
to let them out. He said he could not,
but would let them out through the
office. They called for some n to
open the gate. when Capt. Allison ap-
peared with his gun and they killed
him. Then they blew open the gate

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS;
The following appeal has been issued

Inc f0lloWlng appea has been issued:
To the Methodists of Mississippi
Erecting: With confidence we call upon
you to make a liberal Thanksgiving Of
'ering to the cause of the Mississippi
aletb ,dists' Orphan Home on this our
iay of national thanksgiving.
Fol- eight years we have called on
you in the maintenance and care of the
orphans placed in our charge. We have
never called without receiving a liberal
response. Our needs increase year by
year as the work expands. God has been
very gracious to us. While we conf
IDENTIFY expect the usual liberality from
our loyal friends of the cause, we beg to
remind you of the expense necessitated
by the rebuilding of the home and its
furnishing. Starting a little over a year
ago with $500, proceeds of insurance
on old building, we have been enabled to
care for the home with 100 inmates and
accumulate a fund nearly sufficient ia
erect a building fully equipped with
modern co%nveniences, at a cost of $685.
900, counting all good subscriptions. In
order to make the final payment it will
be necessary for us t o have $4,000 more.
For this amount we earnestly appeal to
the Methodists of Mississippi as a
thank offering to the God of all mercies.
Your brethren in the work,

H. NJ. ELLIS, Sec.
