sMormEKED IN THEIR CELLS.
-Four Prisoners Perish In n Burning JAIN
at Jerseyville, Ill.
JERsEYvnLE, ILL.,. Jan. 8.

JERsEYvILLE, ILL.,, Jan. 8.
The most horrible event that ever hap
pened in Jerseyville occurred this morning
it being the burning of the County Court
house and Jail, and the perishing of four in
mates incarcerated and awaiting trial. Last
night at about five o'clock, the Jailer locked
the prisoners in the cells for the night, and
left good warm fire in the stove in the
corridor. This was done to warm the cells
for the night, the weather being extremely
cold. This morning about two o'clock
some parties in the ne ghborhood heard the
screaming of the prisoners, but thought
nothing about it, as the prisoners often
make unmeaning disturbances. About five
o'clock this morning Mr.. Tipscomb, sexton
OF the Baptist Church. came up town to
start fire for the church, and thought he
smelled something burning, but saw moth
ing. He staid at the church till about six
o'clock, and when coming out saw smoke
emanating from the Jail. The alarm was
at once given, and when the Jail was
reached all was locked and no entrance
could be made until Janitor Blay was sent
for, who lives about one-half mile away.
The building being brick and the timbers
hardwood the fire made very slow prog
ress.
At about $3.50 O'Clock the janitor arrived
aud a number of men, with wet sponges in
their mouths and lanterns in their hands,
forced their way into the damp, smoky
cells, and found the dead bodies OF Walter
Dunsdon, twenty-five years old, incarcerat-
ed for the murder of Mrs. Nellie Dodson;
James Griggs, aged thirty-one confined for
larceny; Emile koehler, aged tweuty-three
in jail for stealing mule from Alex. Won
derby, near Brighton, HI; August ShultZ,
aged thirty-tour, locked up for stealing
coat.
Dunsdon and Shultz were in the same cell
aud were found lying on the floor with their
feet to the cell door, and it is supposed
they were awakened, and after making
futile efforts to get out fell to the floor and
suffocated.
Griggs and Koehler were both found in
their hunks well covered up with blankets,
| and it is thought they were smothered with
smoke, not awakening from their natural
| sleep, no evidence of disturbance appear
| ing. All four were in solid stone cells and
were not burned in the least, suffocation
| from smoke being the cause of d -ath.
The burning of the building was very
slow, commencing about four o'clock this
| morning and not consuming the structure
| till about ten. There was no insurance.
| The Jail has been condemned for combining
prisoners by both Grand Jury and the
Court number of times. There was no
night Waterman at the Courthouse, and
Sheriff Frost says he has not been allowed
one only on occasions when desperate char.
acters were in the Jail, and fears were en-.
tertained that they would get out. The
loss to the county is etimated at about so,
| U00 The cause of the fire is supposed IL
have been defective fue.
