OUTRAGE AT A PRISON. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] (Received 2 p.m.) London, December 18. Suffragettes attempted to blow up the wall of Holloway Gaol. Two violent explosions occurred in the vicinity of the cell occupied by Rachel Pearce, who is being forcibly fed. 1

Houses in the .vicinity were shaken

STARTLING EXPLOSIONS. London, December 19, Explosions at an interval of half-a-rainute* startled the residents of Helloway and Camdentown. Many windows were broken. The prison buildings were but little damaged, but several holes were blown in the walls surrounding the prison garden, large enough to allow prisoners to escape. The perpetrators of the outrage dug a' mine from which two fuses led to a house in Dalmeny Avenue, which was previously used as a suffragette headquarters. and where those guarding the prison aro housed when on duty. The miscreants escaped. On the arrival of the guard, a handful of golden hair was found in the garden, suggesting that a suffragette had been injured.
