LIGHTED CANDLE LEFT WHERE
1T WILL DO THE MOST
DAMAGE.
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
Warden D. c. MecIune Issues Orders
That Trusted Men Are to Re-
main In Chops 80 Minutes
After Others Leave.
Jefferson City.

A second attempt was made recent
ly, it became known, to destroy by
fire D. NJ. Oberman's factory in the
state penitentiary here.
Before leaving the factory, which
employs nearly 1000 men, a convict
surreptitiously lighted candle and
placed about it a bunch of strings
which were to convey the flames to
a pile Of inf1ammable material. The
lighted candle was discovered before
any damage was done.
Subsequent attempts to fire the
penitentiary now convince Warden
McClung that the fire which destroy
ed q factory building a short time
ago, and seriously menaced the en-
tire institution, was of incendiary
origin.
Extra precautions have been taken
by McClung to prevent the convicts
getting possession of matches. 1t is
considered nearly impossible, how
ever, to keep matches from them.
Efforts of the convicts TO set fire
to the penitentiary shops led Warden
McClung to issue an order to the
more trustworthy men to remain in
the shops one-half hour after the
other convicts quit work.
Twice since the big prison shop was
destroyed recently causing a loss to
the state and d. M. Oberman, con-
tractor, of approximately $4,000, in
cendiary plants" have been discov-
cred in time to prevent disasterous
fires.
The penitentiary authorities be-
lieve that a careful inspection of each
factory by trusted convicts after the
other convicts are taken to then
will prevent incendiary fires.
