munication existed between the walls and the outside, Mir. Burkette had prison cars driven by trusties shad- owed by Little Rock city detectives. This led Saturday to. the intercep- ton, MT. Burkett said, to letter from Perry to his wife who was staying at the Tyler hotel. The letter was delivered by trusty who had been seen by detectives several times in the vicinity of the hotel. In his letter Perry gave almost com plete details of the plot. The con- vict's wife was directed to purchase at a North Little Rock pawn shop two suits of overalls and .25, a .32 and .38 calibre automatic pis- tol, with Tots of shells" and to give them to the trusty Saturday night. The woman was then to go to Ponca City, Okla, Greens and Slaughter's home town to pose there as Slaughter's wife while waiting the arrival of the escapes.

Desperate Plot To Free State
 COnUicts Rolled

Little Rock, Dec. 22.-A perfect ly planned plot for wholesale de livery of the most desperate con victs held at the Arkansas peni- tentiary walls broke down yester. day within 12 hours of it's attempt ed execution when principals, con fronted with evidence that theil plans were known, came clean and made complete confession to peni- tentiary officials.
 The plot looked especially toward the escape of Tom Slaughter and Fulton Green, Oklahoma bank rob- bers serving life sentences for the killing of Deputy Sheriff Row Brown near Hot Springs several weeks ago, and Charlie Perry and Oscar Ford, held at the penitentiary for safe Keeping under indictment for burg lary in Logan county. Plans in- volved the murder of K. P. Satter- white, trusty on night guard duty in the yards, and B. H. Wilhlte, former cashier of a Blytheville bank, who is serving sentence for wrecking the bank, and who is on night guard at the stockade. The delivery was planned for midnight last night when Perry and Ford, held in the death cell, were to kill Satterwhite and Wilhite, unlock the stockade free Green and Slaugh- ter and any other prisoners who wanted to escape, and force the gates, killing the guard in the of flee if necessary Automobiles were to wait on the 18th Street pike be- low the penitentiary, in which the prisoners were to make their get away.
 A fund of $9O,000 was available for bribes, and it is believed that at least $10,O00 was to have been used in getting out of the state.
 That a desperate effort to clear the penitentiary walls was being planned has been known for two weeks. To John T. Burkett, peni- tentiary commissioner in charge at the walls, and James A. Pitcock, lieutenant of detectives of the Lit tie Rock Police Department, belongs the credit of blocking the attempt.
 Mir. Burkett yesterday said that be has felt trouble brewing for all most three weeks. His suspicious were confirmed ten days ago, when very indirectly bribe of $1O,O0O in Liberty bonds was offered him to acquiesce in the proposed escape. Mir. Burlsett said that the offer came more as "feeler," and was of such aa indirect nature that he could not make definite charges. How ever, he went immediately into con sultation with Governor Brough ad- vising the chief executive of his guard system, and declared later that pardon would be issued to any guard who killed an escaping convict.
