Panic Broke Out.

Although the warden and his assist
ants used every effort to calm the pris-
oners, panic reigned The clang OF
the gong resounded through every cell
and corridor in the jail In the
womel's department. which is a remote
part of the building from the north
corridor. suspense added to the grow
ing terror, for the inmates were un.
able to know how great the peril was
which threatened them, and feared the
worst Even when assured that there
was no danger, they continued to
Shrek aid implore to be released.
When the flremen arrived they turned
a hose on the burning cell. which was
glowing and seething like a furnace,
an quickly subdued the flames. In the
rear oil the cell lay McDermott's
charred body Whether he was suf
located or whether the flames caused
his death will never be known. 1t is
thought he starte the fire with a
match concealed somewhere in the lin
ing Of his clothing. With all the ex-
citemenr among the prisoners no yio-
lence was offered to any one, aid at
midnight the Jail was as quiet as If
nothing unusual had occurred.
