PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUCT. MEDFORD. OREGON. TUESDAY. AUGUST 25. 193(5.' E E CANON CITY, Colo., Aug. 35. (AP) Warden Boy Best said today he had frustrated a plot today of five pris oners In the Colorado prison who planned to escape by kidnaping htm and holding him hostage. Best and a squad of guards confis cated two .380 automatics and 100 rounds of ammunition In a new building being constructed In the prison yard. The five convicts were placed In solitary confinement. 'We received information three weeks ago that these men would at tempt their escape Sunday," Beet said. "We located the guns and am munition and then watched them carefully. Three tlmea they moved them on us, but we knew all the time whe. s the guns and ammunition were. We were Just waiting for them to start something. "The plot was to grab me and hold me In one of the buildings as a hostage while the convicts demand ed their freedom. I believo even If the plot had not been disclosed there would not have been any great amount of damage such as occurred In the Colorado prison riot of 1920, but somebody might have been killed." Eight guards and five convicts were killed In the 1029 riot. "Those men are going to be In soli tary from now on," Best said. "We got them with the goods They don't have to confess. We got them red handed. "They probably will ride the old gray mare. She's got her tall up and rarln' to go." Ho referred to the "wooden horse" In the prison yard where mutinous convicts are whipped. It has been Best's practice to wield the leather whip himself.
