Palmer confessed the murder, but
the Jury found him guilty Of

but against tho militia, upon whom tho
whole responsibility Of the loss OF life 10
placed. Sheriff Hawkins had repulsed

the lives OF worthless murderers.
As the soldiers approached by
degrees, with guns pointed
Officer Van Seggern threw
up his hands and shoated, "For Gods
sake, don't shoot here; you'll kill your
friends" Without needing the warning
the command to fire was given, and .
volley went rolling through the tunnel.
Officer Num- fell pierced with four balls,
Van SeRgern was shot in the side Of the
head aud several of the militia we're shot
by their own guns. This volley had the
effect to clear the Jail, but for two hours
thereafter efforts we're made on the out.
side to destroy the whole building. A
barrel Of coal oil was poured down into
the lower part Of Jail and act
on fire, but the officers with.
iu managed to extinguish it. The
carpenters offices furnished some wood
and that also was fred, but as the Jail is
mainly stone aud iron this effort was
futile. The crowd threw boulders and
