Rewards Offered.
State rewards aggregating $2 10Q
were offered Friday morning for the
capture of the convict murderers, dead
or alive.
The state law limits the reward to
for the crime of murder, but the
beard of public lands and buildings
held a meeting and decided to ask the 1
governor to offer $200 for each of the
three men silled.
This he did later in a special proc
penitentiary to see Taylor last Sun
day. It is said that she was refused
permission to visit him. Some time
Wednesday she received a message, as
a result of which she told Mrs. Parks
that she had to go home.
It was learned by county authorities
that ehe had purchased a ticket
Wednesday afternoon at the Rock
Island station and had left for Omaha
at 4:30 o’clock. She is described as a
rather large woman, dark hair and
eyes and was wearing black when last
seen.
Feed Men in Cells.
Attorney E. J. Maggi arrived at the
prison soon after the affair became
public. He talked with the governor
and was placed by him in charge of
the kitchen. At first it had been de
cided to allow the convicts to go un
fed that evening, as it was thought
to be unsafe to allow them to leave
the cells. Maggi finally secured ar
rangements for feeding the men in the
cells, the only ones to eat at the tables
being the help on the farm and in the
kitchen, a number of the officers at
the prison and the guards.
May Break Up “Trusty” System.
The material used in blowing up the
door, whether dynamite, nitro-glycer
ine or fulminating caps, and the re
volvers were smuggled into the prison
from the outside by trusties, accord
ing to the statement of the prison of
ficials. It is possible the outbreak
may result in the abolition of the
•'trusty" system, at least to the ex
tent of stopping all communication
with the outside world.
When the first news of the affair
reached Lincoln it was rumored that
from one to thirteen men had been
killed, that 300 men had escaped, and
a general mutiny had occurred, and
other alarming features were added.
Many of the officers who hastened to
the scene went under the impression
that they might encounter an entire
prison in arms.

that infested the middle west, was in
Lincoln during the past week.
Mrs. Woodworth came to Lincoln
about three weeks ago. She has been
staying at the rooming house of Mrs.
Jo. M. Parks. 14a South Eleventh street.
During her stay, she has frequently
visited the penitentiary and seen Tay
lor. At the rooming house of Mrs.
, Parks, James Sullivan and Joe Xixon,
ex-convicts, recently released, have
i been making their home. Xixon has
left the city.
Mrs. Woodworth, who called herself
Brown while In Linooln, went to the
known under the name of “Shorty"
Cray and had other aliases of Murray
and Rogers. Gray was received at
the penitentiary August 22, 1911. from
Aurora, on a twenty-eight-year sen
tence for blowing the bank at Giltner
last summer. He is about forty-four
years of age. five feet four inches in

height and weighed 135 pounds. He
was of light complexion, had brown
hair and blue eyes.
Taylor, in company with Harry
Forbes and John .Martin, was arrested
on an island in the Platte river a
few days following the Glltner bank
robbery. The men at the time were
unarmed and had no money with them,
but the sheriff’s posse traced them
from the robbery to the scene where
they were captured. A part of the
hinge of the bank’s safe door was
found not far from where the men
were discovered.
They were confined in the Aurora
jail, but after arraignment were
brought to the state penitentiary to be
held for safe keeping until the trial.
In August they were sentenced by
Judge Cochran to twenty-eight years,
Knowing that the three were danger
ous, all possible precautions were
taken by the officers in bringing them
to and from the penitentiary.
Taylor has served previous sen
tences at the Nebraska, Minnesota and
Iowa state prisons.
John Dowd, the second of the trio,
Is a bgnk robber from Cass county.
; He was received at the penitentiary
the 3d of last month on an indeter
minate sentence of from twenty years
to life. He^is six feet and one-eighth
of an inch in height, weighs 169
pounds, is of light complexion and has
light brown hairs and brown eyes.
Dowd gave his home as Aberdeen, S.
D.. where he has brothers and sisters
now living. His parents are dead. He
is twenty-five years of age.
Dowd is thought to be one of a gang
of bank robbers operating over the
state, with headquarters at Omaha. He
was arrested in Omaha last fall and
was arraigned on the charge of blow
ing the safe of a jewelry store at Lou
isville, Neb. The night previous to
the Louisville robbery, bank robbers
made an unsuccessful attempt to blow
the bank safe at Wabash. It was
thought that Dowd was one of the
men implicated in this robbery. Tay
lor and Dowd were cell mates at the
prison and no doubt the plan to es
cape was worked out by them and
Morley. who was later taken into the
scheme.
Charles Morley, the third one in the
trio, was sent to the penitentiary De
cember 14, 1910, from Omaha on a
fifteen-year sentence for highway rob
bery. He has served a previous sen
tence at the Missouri penitentiary.
Morley is between thirty-five and
forty years of age, is five feet eleven
and one-fourth inches in height.

complexion and has black hair and

City, where he has a wife now living
at 530 Holmes avenue. He has other
relatives living at Knoxville. Mo.
Well Armed With Modern Guns.
The superior marksmanship of the
convicts over that of the officials is
due. according to some at the prison,
to the kind of guns the men had. At
least one of the prisoners, thought to
have been Dowd, was equirfed with
the latest type of automatic pistol,
and it was bullets from this gun that
probably killed Wagner and wounded
Doody in the leg. Much of the shoot
ing by the convicts was done by
Dowd, it is said.
The prison officials were equipped
with short old-fashioned "bull dog"
revolvers, while Gray, the second of
the convicts and probably the leader
had a long single loading high pow
ered target gun. which he used with
deadly effect. Morley is said by some
of the men who came out of the fray
alive to have been equipped With two
guns.
Alleged “Finds” During Search.
Twenty knives and a complete kit
of burglar tools are reported to have
been found in the cells of prisoners at
the penitentiary, when militiamen,
assisted by the prison guards, con
ducted a thorough search of every
convict’s cell. Although the discov
ery was denied by Adjutant General
Phelps, it is a matter of common gos
sip among the guards who conducted
the search.
All cells in the west cell house were
stripped of all furnishings and stands,
tables, musical instruments and knick
knacks of all kinds were piled in one
huge heap in the west end of the
chapel room. Every article of fur
nishing in the west cell house will be
removed from the cells, it is said, and
will not be replaced until the authori
ties have satisfied themselves that no

All Quiet Saturday.
With a hundred militiamen, carrying
guns loaded and bayoneted, on the
walls, in the corridors and in the cell
houses, all was quiet at the prison
Saturday morning. All prisoners were
kept in the cells and even trusties
were not allowed to be about. Guards
men paraded in front of all entrances
leading to the prison, marched contin
ually over the walls and lounged in
numbers in front of the cells in tha
cell rooms.
THIRD REVOLT AT PENITENTIARY |
—
TWO FORMER ATTEMPTS WERE
QUICKLY CHECKED.
Hi«tory of Nebraska Compiled in 1882
Gives an Interesting Account
of Two Previous Attempts •
to Break Out.
Two previous attempts have been
made to break through the walls and
guard lines of the penitentiary by des
perate criminals previous to the trag
edy of Thursday, according to the fol
lowing:
About 4 o'clock p. m., of January 17.
1875. the only notable mutiny broke
out among the prisoners. The insti
gator of the trouble was Me Waters,
who succeeded in enlisting Bohanan,
Worrell, McKenna, C. W. Thompson,
Gerry, and Elder. Just before the
afternoon round of the deputy warden.
C. J. Nobes, they surprised atnd over
powered the guard in the workshop.
On entering the shop, not knowing the
state of affairs, the deputy too was
seized, overcome, bound, robbed of his
keys and stripped of his clothes, Mc
Waters putting them on. Nobes was
left in care of three of the mutineers, I
while the others, armed wifh iron
crowbars, started for the main build
ing. Blacking the sides of his face to
represent the warden's whiskers. Mc
Waters marched the four up to the
main door in usual prison regulation
style, so that the door guard thought
it was the warden with a file of men
and opened the door; as soon as the
door swung open, they rushed up
stairs, making the guard a prisoner,
and proceeded to break open the arm
ory and seize guns and ammunition.
Fortunately, the deputy succeeded in
loosening his cords unobserved by his
captors, and suddenly seizing a hoe
that lay within reach, by a few rapid
blows, compelled the convicts to flee,
whereupon they joined their com
panions in the main building.
Mr. Woodhurst. the warden, and two
of the guards were in the hands of
the mutineers. As the people from
Lincoln began to arrive and ap
proached within gunshot of the north
windows. Mrs. Woodhurst appeared at
one of them and waved her hand, cry- |
ing out. “Keep back! Keep back!" j
Just before dark she appeared at an
other window, in the chapel near the
main entrance, and said that the plan
of the mutineers was to put the im
prisoned guards before them and
make a rush to escape through the
board wall by the south gate. This
information was doubtless the means
of frustrating their plan, as it was not
carried out. In both instances she
quickly disappeared from the window
by orders from her captors. These
communications contained no solici- ,
tude for herself, but concerned only
the safety of others and the responsi
bility she felt for the institution with
which she was associated.
A little before 1 o’clock the next
morning. Company I, Twenty-third ,
United States infantry, arrived from i
Omaha, under the command of M^ijor '
Randall, and at once proceeded to
guard the walls until morning.
Grave fears held possession of the
citizens until 6 o'clock, when to the
intense joy and relief of all, Mrs.
Woodhurst again appeared at the j
southwest window of the chapel.
Especially comforting was her ap
pearance to her husband and two sons,
who were out of the building at the
commencement, and consequently
could not go to her relief. She as
sured them of her safety, and that she
thought the mutineers would soon sur
render to her,-but to her alone.
The troops, who were nearly all
Indian fighters and celebrated shots
in the army, in l^e meantime were
making preparations to assault the
building from the south, force open
the door and face the conspirators in
their fort, compelling submission at
all hazards. But before the attempt
was made, McWaters and the others
laid aside their arms and agreed to
surrender to Mrs. Woodhurst. stipu
lating against excessive punishment.
It was a grand sight to see those des
perate men, but a few hours before
determined to risk life against the
chance of obtaining their liberty, and
willing to take a hundred lives if need
be to secure a few more years of their
wild liberty, now led by a single
woman, who, while at their mercy,
had so fearlessly demanded their sub
mission. But without the least ap
pearance of self-consciousness the
brave woman delivered modestly her
prisoners into the hands ft the law.
Upon the arrival of Mr. Woodhurst,
McWaters said: “Warden, there is no
use of mincing matters. You are an
old prison officer and know how it is,
1 have no ill will towards you. You
have treated me well, but I am like
other men—I want my liberty; I
thought I saw a chance to gain it and
I improved it. I got the better of you
at first, but the fates are against me.
I lost my chance; you have now the
advantage and I -give up and sur
render.”
Thus ended one of the most excit
ing incidents in the history of the
prison and a revolt, which for bold
ness of design and persistent effort
in attempting its execution, has but
few parallels in the annals of prison
history.
The story of the heroism of Mrs.
Mary A. Woodhurst is worthy of
Lincoln, Neb.—Feminine Sunday
school teachers have been barred from
leading classes or visiting the Sunday
morning services in the chapel at the
state penitentiary here. Governor Aid
rich has issued orders to that effect
and the warden will enforce the exec
utive order.
Chippewa Falls, Wis.—J. Thomas is
in the hospital here after all night
fight with a pack of wolves in the
northern part of the state. He is suf
fering with exposure and a number of
bites given him by the wolves,
preservation. Left alone during that
night of alarm, she manifested that
rare quality of command which needs
but to be asserted to be obeyed. Not
only did she protect herself from
harm, she even forced into subjection
to her will the desperate band of in
surrectionary men, who feared her
more than they did the officers, and
who surrendered to her. while they
still defied the representatives of the
law.
At the time of the revolt, Mrs.
VYcodhurst was in her apartments,
which were separated by but one
room from the warden’s office. When
the convicts hurried to the armory,
Mrs. Woodhurst's attention was at
tracted by the confusion. Hastening
to the office, she realized that a revolt
had taken place, and that the arms
of the prison were in the hands of re
bellious prisoners. As she appeared
at the door, she was decisively but
courteously directed to return to her
own apartments. <
She at once repaired to a room
opening from her own, with a north
ern exposure, from which she could
see the northwest turret. She called
to the guard and directed him to
alarm the guards in the other turrets,
who alone were then free, and pre
vent them from coming to the build
ing, as one of them was then doing.
This timely movement, besides, doubt
less. saving the life of the guard, pre
cipitated matters, and materially
changed the situation by the covering
of the door with the carbines of the
guards, thus defeating the plans of
McWaters. This illustrates a pres
ence of mind seldom met with in men,
and more rarely in the gentler sex,
whose lives are such as generally ex
clude them from startling situations.
Yet it is the more commendable for
its bravery. They were desperate
men. and were determined to achieve
their liberty at all hazards. But she
faltered not, even while she realized
that they had taken their lives in
their hands to defeat the course of
law.
.\irs. \\ ooanurst naa, on two previ
ous occasions, faced mobs in her hus
band's absence that were intent upon
lynching prisoners in his charge, and
in one instance saved the prisoner's
life. The mobs in both cases were
defeated by her prompt and fearless
defense. In spite of this determina
tion and force of character, she has
nothing of masculinity about her, but
has the grace of a lady, the dignity of
a matron and the kindness of a
woman.
The Second Revolt.
On May 27, 1875, a second revolt
headed by Convict McWaters was at
tempted after a note from one pris
oner to another, giving details of the
plan had been dropped and fallen into
the hands of a guard. McWaters,
again a leader in the insurrection,
was killed by Guard Hugh Blaney.
The letter which had been dropped
stated that the object was to first kill
the keeper of the wash house, then
the deputy warden, after which there
was to be a general rush to gain pos
session of the prison. Eight men had
agreed to take part in the plan and it .
was thought that eight more would
assist.
On the date named in the letter the
prisoners were kept in the cells, but
the following day they were marched
out to work in their regular formation
as though nothing was suspected.
The guards, however, had been noti
fied to keep close watch and to shoot
at the first sign of mutiny. John
Geary and McWaters had asked per
mission to leave the main body of
prisoners at work in the yard and met
in the entrance way to the yard. Mc
Waters made a threatening remark,
but whether it was addressed to Guard
Blaney. who was standing near, or to
the other convict was not certain.
Blaney. however, took no chances and
raised his gun ready for an emerg
ency.
Mc\\ aters picked up two stones, but
before he could throw at the guard,
Blaney fired, hitting the convict in the
jaw, the bullet taking a diagonal
course down through the body. Mc
Waters did not speak again. He
reeled a few feet away and dropped
dead. Geary, who was making some
demonstration, was easily quieted by
the guard, who pointed the gun
toward him. Blaney gave the general
alarm by ringing the big bell in the
yard, and within a few moments all
the officers were out.
The prompt action of the guard and
other officers quieted the mutiny and
although the men were kept at work
there was no further disturbance.
They were marched back to their cells
within a few minutes and placed
under the watch of two extra guards.
R. W. Hyers Temporary Warden.
Governor Aldrich has appointed ex
Warden R. W. Hyers warden of the
penitentiary to serve temporarily.
The appointment was made by tele
phone by the governor, who was snow
bound at Auburn. Mr. Hyers is now
deputy state game warden. He was
warden of the penitentiary many
years ago and thoroughly understands
the workings of a large prison.
Steward Robb requested the gover
nor to relieve him of the duties of act
ing warden because he has enough
work as steward to occupy his entire
time. It is understood that Mr. Hyers
will remain in charge of the peniten
tiary only for a short time.
