When the family entered the room, he offered them the ginger ale. He ordered John, 16, the eldest son, to take the paper packet to the basement and burn it.

The ladder was placed against the wall and the men started to climb. Recovering from their surprise, the guards, redoubled since the recent riots, opened fire with riot guns. Whether any of the prisoners was struck was not disclosed, but the plotters fell back as their comrades set up a howl against the guards that could be heard by residents outside the walls.
