Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May ia
plot to blast away part of the eastern
penitentiary wall and open a path to
freedom for more than 100 convicts,
has come to the attention of the
grand jury.
The scheme was uncovered through
discovery of explosives hidden in a
cell. 1t is understood the explosive
was nitro glycerin.
The convict in whose cell the ex-
plosive was hidden feared that IL
might be set off accidently and kill
him before it could be placed at the
wall.
While investigators were going
through every part of The institution,
il is said that this convict gave the
first hint of the plot. The explosives
were found and removed.
Plot Well Lnid.
The grand jury, it is understood,
will describe this jail delivery plot
in its report. 1t has been worked out
convicts had been drilled in the part
they were to perform.
The explosive. it is said. was to be
placed against the wall on the Brown
street side of the penitentiary. near
the prison warehouse. The gigantic
charge was to be touched off at night
before the lookup hour. In the resulting
confusion, It was believed that all
the prisoners could get away.
Uncovering of the explosive cache,
it is said. was the real reason back
of the rushing of state troopers to
the penitentiary. The called -four
horsemen," who have been frequently
mentioned during the grand jury in
vestigation, Were said to he back of
the general escape plot.
