Near City.

Lincoln. Neb.. March 16-When Con-
victs Taylor. Morley and Dowd slipped
into the binding snowstorm Thursday
afternoon and faded from sight they
seemed to have slipped into q mysteri-
Gus hiding place which may never be
discovered. Late this morning. nearly
forty-eight hours after the triple mur-
der Of Warden Delahunty. his deputy
and an usher, no trace had been found
Of the desperadoes who shot and dyna-
mited their way out Of prison.
Governor Aldrich arrived in the city
on a night train and went to the peni-
tentiary this morning He is conduct
ing an investigation which, 1t Is hoped.
may disclose the means by which the
friends Of Taylor. Dowd and Morley
were able to slip the guns and explos-
ives in to their friends. TRUSTEES are
believed to have aided. while some
suspicion points toward a prison guard.
Ex-conviets Suspected.
All ex.convicts in the city whose
time Of release was recent have been
arrested and put thru the sweat box.
INo OInCerS TeluScu u give aHS sNesNS
ment as to what information they have
disclosed Two convicts. Burns and
Riley, have been closely connected with
the affair and are believed to have been
instrumental in smuggling the weapons
into the prison but both have disap-
peared. Burns accompanied a party OF
Lincoln "prison reformers" to the
prison about two weeks ago and snug
gled some opium into the prison under
the eyes OF the party.
Criticism Blamed.
Governor Aldrich today declared that
what he characterized as unjust crit-
cism Of the prison management Is culp-
able in a large measure for the out
break Of Thursday.
He said that this had the effect OF
stirring up the convicts and that the
pet,itentiary, officials. from fear OF tnr
curing further adverse criticism OF
their methods. failed to take such
stringent measures as would otherwise
have been enforced. thus making 1t
easter for the prisoners to take advan-
tage Of their guards.
