There are no cells In this building, but the convicts are allowed to run loose and mingle, which afforded them splendid opportunity to form their plans for cape nnd to make a concerted break. One guard is kept on duty at night Inside of the prison, unarmed, while another guard does duty on the out side, nrmed with a pistol and rifle. Mil ton Hope was on duty In the prison Friday night and at midnight went nut- side to eat his supper with Oliver Jones, the outside guard. After lln- ishlng tho meal, Hope started back Into the prison, Jones accompanying him to the door in order that he might lock It behind Hope. Guard Is 8sized. Just as Hope stepped Into the build ing, Hargrove seized him and a des perate struggle ensued.
