NJ KIM the Murderer--Attempted Escape
His Hobbies Sawed by Case-Knife

Our readers arc we'll acquainted with all
the circumstances attending the murder of
samuel I. Norcross, last winter. at Altoona,
by David StriDger M'Kim-the escape of the
brutal and cowardly murderer-his long and
uDtiring pursuit-hs final capture, trial. con-
viction and sentence to death. Since his in
carceration in the Jail at Hollidaysburg. he
has pertinaciousy insisted upon his innocence
of the crime imputed to him. and, beyo nd all
doubt. of which he was guilty.
M'Kim has been closely watched, and Sc
curely, as was supposed, manacled; but either
on Monday or Tuesday night last. he mana
ged to cut in twain the hobbies about his an
kles. These irons were examined on Sunday
night by the jailor, and found to be in every
way perfect. The only instrument discover
ed in his cell by which he could have done
the work-and it is the neatest and most COM
plete job we have ever seen-was common
casc-kuife, with slightly hacked edge. Had
the discovery not been made in time, kim
would, no doubt, have successfully effected
his escape. AS matters now stand, his chan
ces are forever frustrated, and the gallows
alone awaits its victim. The day fixed for
his execution is the 21st of August next
