OGDEN, Utah. July 19.-Cleverly laid
III plans on the part of Sheriff Joseph
w Bailey and Deputy G. Alva
Sebring foiled the plot of c. NJ. Kissler
to break out of the county jail tonight,
and prevented a possible wholesale de-
livery Of prisoners who were in the con-
spiracy with Kissler. Tonight's cap
ture of Kissler in the very act of saving
his way to liberty was the elimination
of a plot. the existence of which has
been suspected since july 3, when one
of the prisoners tipped the conspiracy
off to Sheriff Bailey.
KissIer Burglar
KissIer is awaiting trial on the charge
of burglary. He is accused of having
broken into the agricultural implement
store of George A. Lowe. Shortly after
the burglary was reported he was APP
pretended at Elko. New, and brought
back to ogden. Had it not been for the
watchfulneSs of the officers he would
have sawed his way through the cell
bars into the corridor, would have
liberated his companions and with them
escaped through the east wall of the
jail In their anxiety to hide their
plans the prisoners went too far, and
it was this fact which led to Kfsslers
capture tonight In order to misIead
the officers and to hide the noise made
by Kissler'S saw. the prisoners sang
and laughed during the day. They
Overdid the part and gave Sheriff
Bailey warning that all was not right.
