PEN|TENT|ARY PLOT
Cache of GIycerine Near State Prison
is Thought to Be of
Old Date.

That the bottles of glycerine found
near the state penitentiary yesterday
have been cached there for FIVE years
and do not represent recent move
against tho institution, is the opinion of
Police Sergeant Janey, formerly a guard
at the penitentiary.
Sergt. Janey bases his opinion on the
fact that information was received To
the effect that glycerine had been
cached near the walls five years ago
and that efforts to locate 1t were un-
availing. The five bottles, although
tightly corked with glass shoppers
show great age, and from appearances
have been In the ground a long time
State Chemist Harms. who analysed
the contents of the bottles, reported
that they were no doubt intended for
the manufacture of nitro-glycerine,
through the addition of nitric acid.
which was the only ingredient missing
to make powerful explosive. The
bottles We're discovered while digging
a posthole, and were only three inches
below the surface of the ground, on
a path constantly trodden by prison
TRUSTEES. They were turned over to
Warden Pratt. who transmitted them
to Gov. Cutler, and by him to the
state chemist. No facts have been
learned tending to lend color to the
theory that q new Jail break is being
planned.
