Plot Now to Poison Jailers

Special from United Press. Revelations of a revolutionary plot to free all political prisoners in Russia by poisoning jailers were made by the government. Officially these stories of prison cruelty are claimed to be inventions of revolutionists to aid their fundraising for prisoner release. The authorities admit punishment of several prisoners involved and note personal crisis reports, including a death by self harm attributed to Sazonoff, assassin of Interior Minister Pleove. The Crarantus prison is cited, with several recent prisoner deaths. The government attributes the surge of crisis reports to industrial stagnation and strikes, which have swollen the ranks of the hungry and despondent.
