through which the men escaped. The
whole thing was planned by Capt.
Thomas Hines, and the hole through
The floor was in his cell. 1t was kept
absolutely secret, even from our own
men.
Not more than a dozen or fifteen

Il because l helped with the work
am positive that not a single person
On the outside knew thing about it.
And I'll say this about Merton, who
was warden at the time: l never did
| ike him-I disliked him exceedingly
but he did not know a thing about the
escape. There has been some suSpi-
cion that there was some connivance
On his part, but it is absolutely un-
true.
THE work was all done with case
knives, which we stole from the dining
room, and one shovel, which one of the
men stole somewhere. 1t was used in
digging the tunnel"
Mr.. Bullitt told an interesting story
Of the escape. He assisted the other
men to get away, but did not go him.
self because his cell was near the end
of the cell block-No. 4-and a guard
stood near it. It was feared this guard
would hear him If he made an at
tempt, so he decided he should stay
behind.

menced the work, digging through the
floor under his bed. Every morning he
would clean his cell up nicely and put
everything in such prime condition
that the guard would simply take
look at the inside, without making an
examination.
During the day, when the men
were allowed the freedom of the cor
ridors for exercise, down through this
hole the men would climb" said Mr..
Bullitt. "The cell tier was built on an
archway, and in here there was plenty
of room to work. The distances were
carefully measured off, and holes dug
up to the cells from below.
"At the same time work was going
on in the tunnel. On the day of Gen.
Morgan's escape he changed cells
with his brother, Big Dick Morgan.
A hole had been dug into Dicks cell.
In this way the general escaped, the
brother staying behind.
-Four of the seven men who es.
capped are dead" said Mr.. Bullitt.
Smith, l have not seen for two years,
and am not certain whether he is liy-
ing, but think he is. MCGEE and one
other l lost track of soon after the
war, and don't know whether they
are living"
Mr.. Bullitt was prisoner from Au.
gust, 1868, until early in the spring of
1864. Only the commissioned officers
were confined, and only part of them
were put in the Ohio penitentlary, the
others being taken to Allegheny, Pa.
Mr.. Bullitt knew but little about the
prison. as the Morgan men were not
allowed to work in the shops.
''The only part of the inside of the
penitentiary l ever got to see was my
own corridor and what could see
while being marched across the court
to my meals. We often wished they
would put us to work In the shops. We
would have taken the prison il they
had"
Mr.. Bullitt came near making his
visit to the prison on the anniversary
OF Morgan's escape. 1t was November
~. 1868, and his visit was only few
days later, A years after the escape.
