Coleman. IL is said was once sent to the

A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
The Sergeant Overpowered-One Prisoner
Gets Away-Two Others Captured.
fspec,al Telegram TO tho DispatehJ

Especial telegram TO tho Dlspatch.l
LYNcnBugd, Va, March s.-One Of the
most daring attempts at jail delivery that
ever occurred in this CITY took place this
morning about o'clock. At that hour
Sergeant johnson was called 20 the jail by
prisoners named William Davis, William
Robinson. and Lemon Jackson, who SAID
that a sewer had become stopped up and
their cell was beng overlooked. As john
son stepped up and unlocked the cell
door all three Of the negroes jumped on
hin, knocked him down, aud tried to
beat him into insensibility. Johnson is a
very powerful man and resisted despe-
rately, but the prisoners secured his pistol
and no doubt would have killed him but
for q voice from one of the upper cells
crying out that the jail-d0Or WAS open and
somebody was coming.
JUMP FOR LIBERTY.
The three desperate prisoners then let
Johnson loose, climbed up to the top or
the house by means of steam pipe, broke
open one Of the dOrmer windows, and two
OF them-Lemon Jackson and William
Robinson-iumped TO the street. Sergeant
Pendleton, of the police force, who was in
the courthouse at the time, one square
away. was called and on arriving OF the
iail saw one Of the four prisoners on the
roof, who was afraid to risk the jump. He
pointed ont the direction the other two
prisoners had takeu, and Sergeant Pen
dleton Oyerhguled William Robinson, the
condemned murderer, at the corner OF
Clay and Eighth streets.
SURRENDERED wEES SHOT.
He ordered him TO halt, but failing TO
do so Sergeant pendleton shot at him four
times. wounding him in the arm. As soon
as he fol- he surrendered. Lemon Jack
son, who was very fleet on foot, and who
was sentenced to six years in the peniten-
tiarv Yesterday, made good his escape and
has not yet been recaptuTed.
one Of the four prisoners def. Moore)
made no attempt at escape, and as soon as
johnson could recover himself he cap
tured the one on the roof Of the jail.
THE MAN AT LARGE.
When Lemon Jackson escaped he was
dressed only IN thin PAIR of cotton
drawers aud thin Lndershlrt. lie was
also barefO0ted, and as the day has been
very wet and raw he has no doubt suffered
severely. The police are still on his track,
and several men who know all about the
county are also after him.
IATKR-JACBsuN REPORTED DROWNED.
4 telegram has been received here by
the authorities from man named Zores,
at Mt. Athos, Campbell county, stating
that Lemon Jackson. the escaped prisoner,
after hard night with two white men, was
driven into James river and drowned. lie
