400 persons had gatheredin the jail yard, and the
roofs of the surrounding buildings were covered
with people anxious to witness the execution.

Last Monday night the condemned man made
desperate attempt to escape. He was possessed
of immense strength. and overpowered the two
death watches and the jailer, who happened at
the moment to be in the cell. Wrenching the
keys from the iailer's grasp, he dashed through
the door and across the jail yard to the street,
but just as he thought he had succeeded he was
encountered by two hremen who had been at
tracted by the noise They recognized Majors,
and another struggle ensued, so terrible in its
results that Majors's arm was broken and he
rendered helpless He was conducted back to
his cell. From that moment he abandoned hope

write my innocene Of all connection Of. the crime

that of W. p. Renowden, an old man living in
