The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1883-09-15

A terrible tragedy was enacted the
other day in the St. Augustin Prison, al
Valencia. In the course of a quarrel
between two Of the prisoners while at
exercise in the yard, one of them. Jose
Casalta, pulled out one of those VaIen-
clan knives, the blades of which are a
foot long, and plunged it six times into
the breast of his companion. One of
the warders, named Manuel Fernandez.
rushed up and tried to seize the MUIR
derer, who was too quick for him, how
ever, as he turned round and in q trice
stabbed the warder to the heart. Two
other warders were attracted to the
spot by the noise, and the sentinel on
duty called out for further aid. Jose
Casalta, in the meanwhile, had worked
himself up into q paroxysm of fury, and
was rushing about, dealing thrusts with
his knife right and left, his clothes
hanging in ribbons about him, and his
face besmeared with blood. The sem
tinel attempted to shoot him down, but
his musket missed fire, and Casalta,
rushing on to him like tiger, literally
disemb0weled him. A corporal of the
guard, who arrived upon the scene at
this moment, succeeded in disabling
the Infatuated wretch with q bayonet:
but even after he had been wounded it
was found almost impossible to secure
him. He died of his wounds in the in
Urinary of the prison two hours after
ward--St. James Gazette.
