ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF a HIGHWAYM4M

While Keeper DAILY was making his arrangements
at the Essex Market Prison yesterday, about 3
a. M, fol. the transfer Of prisoners to the, Tombs
Prison, Charles Burke, who occupied q cell on the
second tier after his cell door was opened, rapidly
assembled bya ladder to the third tier and there
swung himself over the iron balustrade, with the
intention Of jumping to the ground. He fell first
on iron bar projecting from the second tier, and
then to the ground.
On Wednesday night Burke, violently assaulted
Thomas Fitzpatrick, of No. 40 East Broadway, at
the intersection Of that street with Catherine-st,
and forcibly took a silver watch from his person
Notwithstanding his threat to shoot Fitzpatrick
the latter held him securely till Officer Sullivan, OF
the Seventh Precinct came up and took him into Gus,
tOdy On the way TO the statOn-hOuse he discharged
two barrels of q revolver at the officer, the bullet
Of one chamber grazing his head. He has served
term of ten years in the State prison, and declared
that he would forfeit his life rather than return TO
that hated place again.
The distance between the third tier and the
ground floor is about thirty feet, and when Burke
was picked up and examined by the prison phys-
clan he was quito conscious, and it did not appear
that any bones were broken, or that he had sls-
tanned any serious internal injury. However, 1t was
subsequently intimated to Warden Finn. at the
TOmbs from BELLEVUE Hospital that the mans spinal
column was fractured.
