The Desperate Shot and in a
Critical Condition.
4 Portland Convict the Ac.
complete Of Haynes.
Cool and Prompt Conduct of the
Guard.
The Plot Completely Fooled.

THoMA.roS, June 5. A bold attempt was
made just after noon to-day by Samuel d.
HAYNES, the Rockland murderer, and VIM.
T.. Bragdon, common thief of Portland. to
meeiately after dinner all the convicts passed
out of their cells to the various shops but
Haynes and Bragdon remained behind, and
when the yard was clear Haynes passed up to
the inner guard room door with parlor
bracket and what appeared to be bottle of
mucilage, Bragdon following close behind.
Haynes said to the guard on duty, Edward
Barrows, that he wished to pass the bracket
in. Mr.. Barrows opened the door when
Haynes threw from the bottle some strong
hartshorn liniment and black pepper into
I'arrows' eyes, completely binding him.
Haynes, gaining admission into the guard
noticing that Mr.. Ira Northcy, another guard,
was on duty. He at once seized the Henry
repeating rife near at hand and demanded of
Haynes to stop, but the desperate, nothing

bowie knife some eight or ten inches in
length. Haynes did not take more than
step OF two before Mr.. Northey fired, hitting
him in the right breast, the ball passing
through the lung and coming out through the
shoulder blade Mr.. Northey then turned
his attention towards Bragdon, who was close
behind Haynes, and had just put his head
into the door, but as soon As he heard
the report of the rifle he jumped back
behind the door just in time to escape the
shot fired at him by Mr. Northey. This was
only the work of few moments, and before
another shot could be fired, both men were
secured. Haynes was taken to the prison
hospital, and Bragdon put in solitary confiue
meut. Haynes spits blood and complains Of
feeling badly, his case is considered critical
one. On searching them afterwards large
pocket was half full of black pepper. He
also had an improvised key with which he
could have unlocked the outside guard room
door, if he had not been stopped by the shot
of the guard. Braglon had two sharp knives
in his pocket, and large amount of black
pepper. Great credit is due Mr.. Northey for
his promptness on the occasion. Haynes is a
desperate fellow, who kile d his guard at
Rockland a few years ago, and for which he
was sent to the State Prison for life. This
is his fourth attempt to escape from the pris-
on all of which plans involved the killing
or manning of the guards or watchmen.
