VICTIM’S LIPS SEALED. “Vl Settle Him in My Way,” Says Youth, Who Says He Knows Assailant. The murder of one prisoner by an- other prisoner was attempted in the Tombs to-day under the eyes of the keepers, Though a knife was wield- ed in a crowd of 80 prisoners, pack- ed so close they were almost stand- ing on one another's toes, and the victim's cry was heard by all, Ward- en Hanley has been unable to find, in all the crowd of prisoners, one who will admit he saw the attempted killing. Richard Harrison, twenty-one years old, whose home is at No, 489 West Seventeenth street, was the victim of the murderous attack. He is in Belle. vue Hospital, where he was hurried on the advice of Tombs Physician Maguire. Ho has a ki.lfe wound on his left elbow and deeper and more serious wound just below the left shoulder, Though his tnjurtes are se- vere, he will recover, the hospital sur- geons believe, unless complications occur, Harrison, conscious and vengeful, said at the hospital he knew who had \bbed him but he would not tell, I'll sett! this my own way when I get the chance,” he growled. The stabbing in the Tombs was but the fulfilment of the thieves’ steel law against “anitchers,” as potent behind bare as in a black alley. Just before the attempt was made to kill Harri- ‘son he had boasted to some of his fellow prisoners that he was going to tell all he knew about the rest of a gang of wagon thieves, of which he was one, whom tho police had not yet rounded up. A In less than two minutes after his boast Harrison was wri iing on the floor ith a wound dangerously near his lungs. The dramatic incident of the thieves’ vendetta occurred a few minutes after 9 o'clock when 170 prisoners, due to appear before the various courts in the Criminal Courts Building, were being passed through the gate to the Bridge of Sighs.
