RocKLAND, May ia desperate assault
was made upon Deputy Warden Burton at the
Maine State Prison yesterday by convict
named Thompson. Thompson is under SEN
tence OF five years for larceny and is desper-
ate fellow. He works in the blacksmith shop
and few days ago he gave to one of the cooks
a skeleton key and note for the Bowdoinham
burglar Simmons. The note revealed the nu-
cleus of plot to escape. For this offence he
was shut up in his cell and yesterday the Dep
uty Warden went 10 his cell and ordered him
to pass out his basket. Thompson reached out
as far as he could, and as he did so threw a
quantity of black pepper which he had manag-
ed to conceal in his hand into the official 8
eyes. He then struck the Deputy Warden
several blows upon the head with piece of
iron attached to a line and used like slung-
shot. Mr.. Burton clinched him, thrust him
back into the cell and shut the door, but
Thompson again assaulted him, striking him
in the face with the iron leg of the cell bed
stead. Upon this the Deputy Warden drew
his revolver and fred three shots at Thomp-
son, two of which took effect in his face and
head, inficting serious but not dangerous
wounds. Thompson still threatens the life Of
the Deputy Warden who is considered fully
justified in his action in defending himself
against the murderous assault.
