c. G Clinton, alias Fred Busch, the con-
Wet VINO attempted to stab Superintendent
Of tue Penitentiary Van Pelt with table
knife, which he had ground to = sharp
point for the purpose, in the early part of
February, was arraigned in the Circuit
Court fo- the crime last Wednesday. AS
Busch had no money the COnrt appointed
J. \. Ewing 10 defend him. The jury
found the prisoner guilty as charged in the
AutLCLA4till. anu uAfu lilt tltitf vi SollldlN
confinement to be one-twelfth of the term
of imprisonment. AT the time of the act
mplained of Busch had been detected in
saving of the bars of his cell door in order
10 escape from the prison, and had
been sentenced TO pay penalty by
confinement in the dark cell, when
the sentence was pronounced. The
prisoner struck the Superintendent in
the arm with the knife, and would have
done considerable violence had it not been
for the timely interference Of the officers.
The defense in this case claimed there was
no law for the intiiction of additional pun
ishment on prisoners confined in the peui-
Tertiary, and that the assault on the Super
intendent was in self-defense. The point
Was also raised that as Busch had then been
punished by the officers for the offense, II
would be in violation of the constitutional
rights Of citizen to be punished twice for
the same offensc. The Court Overruled the
objections by the defendant, but said he
would more maturely consider thereon a
motion for new trial. Sentence has not
yet been passed, which is from one TO i've
years in the penitentiary.
