OLD NAVIGATE PRISON
 IS TO BE PRESERVED
Grounds Are to Be Transformed Into Modern Picnic Park By
 Owner

East Granby. Conn, Nov. IT P,-- Old Newgate prison, recently sold at auction to settle an estate, will be preserved as q landmark and revolutionary relic amid modern setting.
 It's new owner, Clarence ". Sey- mour of Hartford. will turn the grounds into picnic park. repair the broken down walls and sentry boxes, and reopen the prison to sightseers. Fees charged will be used to restore the prison to its or iginal lines.
 The prison modeled after Newgate in England, held many prisoners during the Revolutionary war after it had been abandoned as a copper mine. It gained fame as the first Connecticut penal institution, being used from 1793 to 1927 for that pur- pose.
 By day the prisoners toiled above ground in the shops, or at the tread mill. At night loaded with chains, they were forced to descend into the mine 60 feet underground to sleep.
