HOLIDAYS LATEST BREAK.

Fingers Of llis Right Hand Arc shot
Away by the Warden.
MAKQrETTE, Mich, March 7.-Hei-
mund HOlzhav. the train rObb.r and
murderer now serving life sentence at
the branch prison here, will never pull
trigger again. All four fingers Of his
right hand are shot away.
The prison officials have been keep
ing close watch on Holzhay, and for
some days Deputy Warden Hawley has
suspected that he was ineditating some
desperate outbreak. Wednesday after
noon he sent Keeper POlliser TO
bring the convict to his Office
cell and told Holzhay TO come
along. As Polliser turned to lock the
cell door Iolzhay threw his left arm
aronnd the keepers neck, and, drawing
a murderous-looking knife, pressed 1t
against his throat He then drew
Polliser toward the gate. Deputy
Warden Hawley drew bead on the
convict, when the latter held Polliser
in front OF him SO as to form
shield. He continued this device for
some time, stepping out and daring the
deputy warden to kill him, but dodging
behind Polliser and holding his knife at
the latter's throat whenever the rife
vas aimed at him. Finally Polliser
broke away and ran around the cell
block, with Holzhay in pursuit.
Seeing that Polliser would escape,
Holzhay seized . convict named Meier.
vey, who happened to be loose in the
corridor, and repeated the same game.
For two hours the warden stood at the
gate trying TO get chance to disarn
lIolzhay or to induce him to drop the
knife. II would have simply rushed
in." said the warden, "but was afraid
the fellow might be insane. and that
any attempt to do SO would simply re.
suit in Mezervey's death. At last
by sending Deputy Warden Hawlcy to
talk with another convict on the other
..ide Of the cell block. distracted his
attention for moment. His right hand,
holding the knife, lay on his knee.
took steady aim and planted bullet
right in his knucklcs. He got up and
called out: Well you've done it, and
walked toward his cell.
The heavy bullet from the Martin
rife tore away all Of his right-hand
fingers and smashed the mctacarpa
bones; only his thumb is left It grazed
Mezervey's leg, but he was not hurt
llolzhay was seen last evening. He lay
groaning with pain and refused to an
swer questions.
| Ey his GOODNESS and good marksman
ship Warden Tompkins certainl.
saved Meservcy's life. Public opinion
here would have sustained him fully II
killing Holzhay. who has openly de
clarad that he would not stay in prisol
| two wears.
