A Condemned Murderer Tries TO
Escape from he Humboids Jail.
WEsSEMUccA, March &C. W. Hymer,
who killed 7. H. West in Paradise, on the
4th Of May. 1879, and who was tried in the
District Court Of this county. found guilty,
and sentenced to be hung November 25th,
but whose case was appealed to the Supreme
Court. which tribunal has sustained the de-
cision Of the lower Court, was here in Jail
awaiting the action Of the Court in again
setting the day Of his execution, made a
bold attempt to escape last night, but was
thwarted in his hopes OF temporary freedom
by Deputy Sheriff Doudson, who occupied
rooms in the building. Doudson was awak-
ened by what he at first supposed to be the
rafting OF the windows by the wind, but
on further examination he found something
was wrong in the jail. On asking the pris-
oners what they were doing, one of them
said, - don't want to risk my life by tell
ing you. Come in and see." Calling for
assistance, he entered and found thai Hy-
mer had nearly accomplished his freedom.
He had removes his shackles, pried the
bolts of OF his cell door, and had a hole in
the side OF the building, by a window. nearly
large enough for him to get out. In ten
minutes more he would nave been a free
man. On being returned to his cell he
threw three letters into the stove, but they
were saved. They we're directed 10 friends,
asking them to meet him at a certain place,
near Paradise, on Wednesday night. As he
would certainly be there. Until the Su-
preme Court refused him another trial he
had entertained hopes, but that being re-
fused, he determined to make one bold
stroke for liberty, and thus escape his fate
on the g~allows. To-day he is feeling very
depressed, and says, "God is against me ;
for had the wind not ceased blowing
I would certainly have succeeded"
