find AN OLD TUNNEL.
Believed to Have Been Made by Pr,5-
oneTs, Years Ago

Boston, Sept ia mysterious
tunnel, just discovered under the street
in Court Square, is thought to ha q
been made by prisoners attempting es-
cape from Jail cells of three-quarter>
of century ago in the old courthouse,
recently dem olished to make way for
a city hail annex.
Workmen removing the ,ast ston5 :
of the courthouse found the entrance
TO the tunnel some six feet below the
street level. The hole was three feet
square and led from that part of tne
courthouse which in former years ha 1
been used for cells. There was
nothing to show that the tunnel had
ever been walled up. which strength
ened the belief that it had been made
secretlY by prisoners.

any information concerning the affair
Immediately after this report was re-
ceived, officers were assigned on street
cars and there was no more complaint

pockets came to Topeka Sunday and
went to the fair grounds Monday but
the police arrested three and the Others
left the city. officer Bob Miller, OF
the Kansas City police department, has
b. en- instrumental in this work.

that there has been less robbery report
cd than on any previous occasion when
