It was expect- | ed that some of them would be killed but as nearly all of them were life time or long term men, they agreed to take the risk. They were to arm themselves with iron bars, clubs, knives, etc., to be found on the way and kill every man who opposed them. Had the warden’s vigilance not detected the plot there would have probably been many lives lost and one of tne most extensive prison outbroaks ever heard of would have occurred.
