tempting to murder his wife, to whom he had
been married but few weeks. When near the

TO escape he jumped into the canal. The ser
geant pursued, but fell and broke his arm be-
cape, the prisoner finally returned to the officer
and surrendered, and was taken to the state

pursuit OF Baccfgolup, 1t is stated, Poindexter
urged the officer In charge of him to join, pedg-
Ing that he would remain with his brothers.
The offer was not accepted and PoindeXter was
