Riverside penitentiary was t iw od

advanced, when tho mutter was dis
covered, seemed to point to tho ni mw
of Alexander llerkman, tlm unurohlst,
who Is serving n -!-v''r sentence for
tho shooting of II. 0. Krlok. ' K
big Homestead strike of 18la. but tl o
eoneluulou reached tonight by Director
Muth, of tho Alleghany polleo depart
inont, is that the real object of tho
eucis whs to soouo the freodom of tno
real ortuto swindler. .1. C Bjrl. who
is serving a seven-year ontom-o in tlm
penitoniiary. This opinion in shared
by tho l'ittsburg polico oillolul 1ho,
aud many reasons aio hiought forward
to conllrm th3 theory. Among the,
aro tho fact that Boyd in wanted iu
nearly ovcry state in tho Union on
charges of real e-tato swindles, as
ronfederattw all over the country, and
is aocouuted ono of the wealthiest prls
oners in Riverside. It is argued that
Berkman'H friends could not atfoid tho
expensive nutllt which was used in this
instance, and their resource could not
possibly equal tho.o of Boyd's coufod
urates.
Tho plan by which tho rescuers
hoped to reach the inside ot the peni
tentiary wall was by a tunnel from tho
collar of a houso on Sterling street,
nearly opposite ono of tho gatos. Their
work is remarkable, ronsidoilng tho
obstacles to bo overcome. Investiga
tion today shows that the tuuuol was
over 200 feet long, but beounso of its
zig-zag charactor had not raohod tho
prison wall. Ono of tho ollloors who
rmwlpil a ili-taneo of 201 foot in tho
dark pussagoway today wu compollod
to return before reaching its ond by
roason of the foul gas arising. From
this it is inferred that the tunnol had
tapK)d a sewer. Director Mulh, how
ever, believcB that tno noan uuuy u.
ono of the tnnuclcrs will bo dlscovorod
tomorrow when tho tunnel Is oponod
from tho surface. Ho thinks the man
was overcome by gas, and that his
companions tied.
Tho elaborate arrangements that had
been made for completing tho tunuel
and for piovlding for the safety of tho
diggers is a source of amazomeut to
tho authorities. An electric boll, con
nected with the entrance of tho tunnol
iu tho cellar, was used iu giving the
workers and watchers an instant warn
ing, and an air pump had been used to
keep ihe tunuel free from gas. It is
estimated that the electric plant and
other apparatus used cost tho would-bo
i liberators at least $2,000.
