tions are excepted from the terms of the |
grant.

Crutchfeld. The prisoner while on his way
to the last corridor, where meals are served.
secured poker from beneath the stove and
struck Turnkey Whaley on the head bring
ing him to the ground. He was in the act
of striking a guard when a bullet from
Crutchneld's As Colts sent him to the floor.
The ball struck Condor in tie back of the
neck ranging downward. coming out near
the hip. From papers found on him it was
learned that the bad break was made for
the purpose which sent him to the other
world. Up to two days ago he had been
quiet, inoffensive man but at this time he
used vile language toward the guards and
told his fellow conyicts that he would Sc
cure his liberty or die in the attempt, and
he didn't know but what he preferred the
latter.
