TRUSTEES We're passing victuals to the pris-
oners.
Several had been served, when it came
to the turn of Highwayman Chas. Clarke.
As.he stepped forward to receive his
allowance, he suddenly threw red pepper
into Jailer Farraher's eyes. The high
wayma's aim was not good, and only one
eye got the benefit of the pepper. The
other eye received a little, but not so
much but what the jailer could see out
of it.
Farraher at once saw that an attempt
would be made to break Jail, and he
quickly grabbed Clarke by the tt roat
with his left hand, and reached down his
right for his revolver.
Burglar Barney Martin, who was next
IN the line behind Clarke, drew sharp
razor from his pocket and caught hold of
and began slaShing the jailer, with the
evident intention Of cutting his throat.
Highwayman James Davis also grappled
with Farraher, and 1t is said fourth per-
son, who it was the jailer does not know,
also assisted the three murderous ruffians
In their deadly assault.
During the Struggle Martin piled his
razor vigorously. The unfortunate jailer
got his pistol in position to pull the trig-
ger, and at that juncture 1t was knocked
out of his hands. During the melee a
hat fell over it, and in the intense excite
ment of the moment it lay there until
the whole thing was over.
Farraber was slashed across the nose,
and his cheek was laid open.
| When Martin, on two or three occa-
siOns, put the razor up to his throat TO cut
1t, Farraher desperately caught hold of
the blade and 1t was rudcly pulled
through bis hands, and the result was
that both hands were fearfully cut. The
| right thumb was almost severed from the
hand, and a cut extends clear across the
palm of the lett hand.
Finally the ruffians became alarmed by
the cries of the jailer, and broke away
and ran, opening the all door with keys
taken from the victims pocket.
Every one of the prisoners was caught
before getting block away, Clarke being
shot in the shoulder.

experts for the defense be allowed to ex-
anime the specimens of blood stains in
the trunk. the Carlson cottage, the cotton
batting and the towel found in the catch
basin. The court decided that it might
be done if the state was represented by
its experts at the time of the experiments.

clined to take any action on that point.
and the examination of the talesmen was
resumed.
