CONVICTS IDLE AS REVOLT IS BEING PROBED Attempted Jail Break Suspicions Point to Chicago ‘Cowboy’ Gangsters. Illi Jnited Press DANNEMORA. N. Y„ July 23.—A fearsome holiday hung over Clinton j state prison here today. No prisoner ! labored. Only the officials of the prison worked. The 1.568 desperate convicts here ; yearned for labor to break the dead- j ly monotony and tense expectancy ; of an investigation of the attempted jail break of Monday. Thirteen hundred of those 1,568 prisoners who made a desperate ; plunge for freedom, minus the three 1 who had found death instead, shivered in their narrow cells expecting the w r orst. Prison officials were attempting to find the source of the well-plot-ted concerted attempt. “Cowboy” Gangsters Suspected Suspicions pointed to Dick and Leon Kraemer. brother members of the famous Richard Reese Whitemore “cowboy” gang, who headed an attempt in November, 1922, frustrated before it got as far as Monday's daring dash. Officials realized the unlikelihood of finding a “squealer" among the 1.300, mindful as all of them were of the nearly fatal stabbing of Herman Linderman by Leon Kraemer for “squealing” on a former attempt. Linderman, later pardoned for his treachery to his prison mates, is reported now as being in the Tombs jn New York aw'aiting trial under the Sullivan law . for, possessing a I gun.

TOWN TO BACK CROQUET TOUR Buie. Tex., Furnishes Money for ‘Marathon.’ it >/ I niti and Pn ss RULE, Tex., July 23.—Lean days are gone forever for Barber G. C. Hart and Tailor L. R. Rose, who made a second start on their croquet marathon to New York today with the money backing of their home town. The socking partners were forced to abandon their fantastic journey at Bryan, Tex., after 100 miles of thwacking when, as they expressed it, “the bacon ran out.” Back they came to their home town, expecting to be greeted with jeers, for Bryan had laughed heartily when they first started. Instead, they were welcomed with enthusiasm and enough money was contributed to finance their trip, which will start from Bryan this time. Besides this, an advance agent was employed to “pep up” towns along the route. tour of state institutions which will bring him here within two weeks, expressed concern over the riot by 1,300 convicts when he* communicated with prison officials Monday night. The men slain were Harold F. Brunner, 33, of Tioga.
