They had succeeded in breaking through

of locking up arrived except at dinner
time, when every man who was away
iVotu the table had to jive a reason for
his absence. The woils, conducted un
derground, was tedious an 1 difficult,
but all labored with will. The candles
which Lad been purchased and hoarded

them it wouid lave been til.n -st itnpos

It wis necessary that this difficulty
should be remedied ; hut how ? With
out a view ot tbe ground just outside of
the wall, no one could calculate how
far, or in what direction to run a tunnel,
so that when it was conducted to the
surface all obstrlueions iiieht be avoid
ed. 'In this emergency, General Mor
gan ena:ed Scott iu conversation about
the rt niarkabte escape of some convicts,
hicl) had occured a year or two pre
viously, and wh.ch Soott vas very fond
of describing. These convicts had
climbed by the bnlcouies. iu tront of the
ratiges ot cells, to the ceiling, and had
passed out through the ekylinht to the
rof ul tho prison. Scott .declared his
belief that there were no two other, men
on the continent who could perform, the
font of aseendihi by the bn loonies. .
'Why," says General Monran, -'Captain
Paul. Ta) lor, small as hi id, can
do it-"
'1 hereupon a discussion ensued, end.
ing by ircott'a giving Taylof preiuission
to attempt it. Taylor, who, although
very small, was as active ns u sqairrul,
immediately commenced the ascent, and
sprung from one to the other ot the bal
conies', until he reached the top one.
He was one ot the men who bad been
selected to escape with General Morgan,
and comprehended immediately the hit
ter's object in having him attempt 'this
feat. It would afJurd him a ch mee to
L'latiee out of the widows ut the ground
just beyond the wall. As be leisurely

tions enabled them to dire t the runnel,
aright. Once)-- during the tunneling,
while Captain llockerstiiith (another of
"the projectors of the plan) was at work
underground, i;eott culled fur hi in and
seemed anxious to fin 1 him at once.
General -Morgan's presence of miud pre.
vented a discovery, or, at least, a strong
suspicion of the plot from at once re
sulting Irom Hoekerstuith's a Use nee.
The General said to Scott, "lloeker
smith is lyin dowu iu my cell ; he is
sick," and he re quested Scott to examine
uud give his opinion upon a memorial
which he proposed forwarding to Wash
ington. It was sotuothiug regal ding our
removal to a military prison. Scott
highly fl ittered by this tribute to his
jud.uient) took the memorial, looked
at it attentively lor some minutes, and
ri turned it, saving, think it will do
first rite." It did do In the acan.
time. Hockersmiih had been signaled,
and hud "come op," uud he m ide his
appearance complaining of a aetious in
disposition. While the work was goinjon, General
Morgan and those who were to iscupe
with bitn hahi'.ually slept with their
lases covered and therp hands concealed.
Tb'is was done to accustome the night
guard to take their presence in the' cells'
lor giunted, by the appearance -of the
bulk upon the bed, without actually
seeing them. This unard went the
rounds tit : the expiration ol every two
hours during the rijlit and he would
place his liiu.tei ii c'ose to each cell door,
iu order that the light should fill the
eeli si'd show the occupant. General
Morgan U8i'd t say that u peculi ir shod

with list slippers on. his ' teet,' rulid he
moved them without the slightest noise. ;
Ho used lo remind me of a sly, cruel,
bloated, suspicinu, tiigntprowiin
spiiler.
When the tunneling uppionulied its
eompletioti, all the other necessary pre
purations were made. The prison-yard
into which they would emerge from the
untie, was surrounded by a wlM twen
ty five toet high, and means for fCaling
that had ti be provided. There was
an inner wall running irom the comer
of the ''Kust Hall" to a smaller build
ing, in which some of t!ie lemale con
vicls were imprisoned, but it was com
paratively low, and they anticipated lit
tie difficulty iu getting over it. 'Ihe
coverlets of several beds were torn into
strips, und tho strips were platted into
a strong rope -nearly thirty teet in
length. A strong iron rod. Used tor
stirring the fiies in the stoves, was
converted into a hook, and the rope
was attached to it I. ope an I hook
were takeu down into the air cham
ber, wheie all the 'valuibht' were stor
ed.
General Morgan had manaied to get
a suit of citizen's clothing, and the six
men who were going to escape with him
were similarly provided.- Th Warden
had prohibited the introduction into the
prison ot uniform clothing,, but occas
ionally allowed plain suits to be reeeiv
ed. The General had also gotten a curd

when we first entered th. Fuiiientiry,

McGc. It is plain that, as each roan
was locked in a separate cell, and eould
not get ont of it by the door, without au
interview with the night guard, it whs
necessary to cut on opening into thir.
chamber.' through the floor of each eel',
from which each one of the: seven would
escape. If ' these apertures -were cut
from the top of the fl to'n of the cells,
the' risk of detection : would he .prnnnr.

had been perfected for 'obtaining nil ab

attempt to make his escape, from which,
she predicted, rreat evils to him would
result. She alluded to -his kindness to
the poor in Lexington.' and claimed that
she was informed of the future in some
supernatural manner.
On the 2fith of November, General
Morgan learned that there- had been a
change of military commands at Coliim
bus. Well knowing that this would be
followed by au inspection of the prison
und a discovery of the plot, lie determine
ed that the effort should be made- that
very niglit. His owu'ccll was in tho
secoud range, from which it was Impos
sible! to reach the air chamber and tun
nel, but the cell of .'his brother, Colonel
Ki-hard Morgan', had been prepared for
him, and when Scott tapped, as usual,
on the stove, as a signal for each man to
retire to his cell, the exchange was ef.
tected. ' There was a sufficient resctn
b la nee between "thera to deceive a man
who would not look closely, especially
when they were seated -with their laces
turned away from the door. .
, ..At any ra'te7 Scott and the night
guard were both deceived, and efforts
were made byhe occupants ot the cells
near to both ot those, where close in
spcetum would have been dangerous, to
attract to the the attention ot the guard
when he weut the rounds. As it was
especially necessary, on this occasion to
know ccrta'uly wheu the night guard
approached, small bits of coal had been
spiiukled. jut before the hour for luck

to have betrayed the plan, was ubsetit
