Six prisoners are now experiencing the tortures of the solitary cell at the county jail, atoning for fracturing one of the most stringent rules known to jail parlance. They are tough characters charac-ters of the toughest kind, and at a late hour yesterday afternoon by a fortunate discovery on the part of Assistant City Jailer Aibright, a wholesale delivery of prisoners was . averted. The sextette, who comprise burglars, hold-ups, and villians of the deepest dye, rebelled re-belled against work and positively posi-tively refused to do another stroke until a better quality of food was furnished them. Hy way of punishment punish-ment for their revolt they were marched down to the dark cells iu the basement, and their solicitations to be placed in a bunch in one particular cell excited the suspicions of Mr. Albright, who made a critical examination of the apartment. Tho sight that met his gaze staggered him. Iu some way unknown tho prisoners pris-oners had supplied themselves with a battering ram and clubs, and other materials ma-terials calculated to pry open the cell door. Once in tho corridors, their plans were to summon tho jailor and assail him with the clubs, take away from him tho keys to the outer doors, and thereby make their escape. The ring leaders were promptly placed where they will not be able to do any harm for some time to come, and an effort is being made to ferret out the others who were mized up in tho transactions. |
