A LIONEL TERRY INCIDENT.
(B7 TII.SGttAtH.—SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) Chrlstchurch, September 29. The warders in Lyttelton Gaol on Sunday night noticed indications that Lionel ' Terry had kindled a fire in his room, and on: going there they found, that he had rigged up a figure-to represent dressed it,-in some of his clothes, and stuck it up at the end of the room; while ;he himself was crouching 'down hiding a:t the. foot of his bed. The explanation - suggested is that Terry thought that only one warder would visit his room, and that the warder, on seeing the figure standing in,the corner of the Toom, would mistake it for' Terry and move over towards it, whereupon Terry would seize the opportunity, cither to overpower the man or to get out through the d<tor; but as it happened - about'-half a dozen men went ,to his room and his plan, if he entertained such, was frustrated. •
