DOUBLE-CROSSES PRISON FRIENDS Charlestown Convict Deserted Pals and Sought Freedom Alone Boston, Nov. 20 (1»—The unsuc- cessful attempt of Charles Trippi. Fitchburg robber, to shoot his way out of the Charlestown state prison | two weeksago, was a “double cross” of the plan of four other dangerous convicts to stage the greatest jail delivery in the History of the insti- | tution, according to information to- ! day from the office of District Attor- ney William. J. Foley. Foster to Be Elected . 4th Ward Councilman The plot was said to have been y enginecred by Stephen J. Hoppe, | notorious gunman and jail breaker who is serving a life sentence for ! murder, whose frustrated attempt! to escape from the Dedham jail re- i cently cost the lives of two trustees. | Beside Hoppe and Trippi, two| other men said to have been in the | scheme were Phillip Cronin and | Willlam H. Troy. serving long terms | for highway robbery, and a fifth man whose identity has not been | disclosed. All are now in solitary confinement. Trippl, who shot and killed I'red- erick Pfluger, a turnkey in" the prison chapel on November 11, has | been indicted for murder in the| first degree. It was said that the five had planned to make their attempt sev- eral days later but that Trippi dou- ble crossed the others after he had | obtained a revolver and ammuni- tion. | The original plan called for the | utilization of an express truck which | is driven into the prison yard regu- larly. Two of the convicts were to impersonate the express men and drove the truck onut of the walls while the other three were to con- ceal themselves in the rear of the machine. All would be prepared to shoot their way to freedom if resist- ance was encountered. Automobiles were to be provided by friends and would be waiting outside the gates.

New York, Nov. 20 (P—The trail of smuggled diamonds, over ‘which it is estimated $3 passes yearly, was expected by fed- eral agents today to doors of several jewelers. Held for the federal grand jury under $5,000 bail is Morris Landau, a jeweler with a store in John streef, who the agents contend was the destined receiver for the $50,000 worth of diamonds found in ®the of William Ballyn, the “sing- ing steward” of the Cunard line's flagship Berengaria. Ballyn, said the agents, has ad- mitted bringing into the country in the last two years about $1,000,000 in unset diamonds and they believe that part of this and other ship- jments of smuggled gems were dis- posed of to other prominent jewel- ers.

McIntyre, alleg- led go-between, was held under $3,- 20-yeur-old | 500 bail, and Landau's daughter, ion, who served as his bookkeeper, was held in $1,500.
