Of blood to where he was laid down
to die.
A crowd of curious persons gath
cred around the body. A large number,
including several ladies living in the
neighbOrhood, contented themselves
with looking down from the crest Of
the steep hill. Smith was smoothly
shaven, except his mustache, and the
gaping wound in his throat contrasted
hideously with his fair skin, rendered
whittier than ever by his long confine-
ment in Jail. Smith was compare
lively young man, being in the thirties,
with blonde hair and mustache and
blue eyes,
Two men from Smiths undertaking
rooms arrived with a stretcher, and a
black cloth was thrown over the body,
which was placed on the stretcher and
carried up the zigzag trail to the dead
wagon.
During the excitement Immediately
following the flight Of Smith the re-
naming prisoners We're not idle. The
door between the cell room and office
was closed, but Is men confined in an
upper cage were at large in the corridor.
They rushed downstairs and Selling a
heavy ball and chain vigorously at

The wall is about "a inches thick, but
they selected a weak point, where there
is a water hole five inches in diameter,
used for drainage. By swinging the
ball, weighing Is pounds, they had sue
ceeded in battering out the bricks, MAX
ing a hole about three feet square,
through to within five inches of the out
side. A few more blows would have
given them their freedom.
Deputy Sheriff Goodsell arrived a few
minutes after Smiths escape and un-
locking the door Of the cell room dis
covered the prisoners at this work. In
stantly he drew his revolver and fired
one shot, for the purpose of intimidatine
them. He commanded them to return
to their cells, which they did without
resistance.

Kansas City, July Estate Representa-
tive J. Kubbison of this city has received
a letter from Paul Bray, stepson of
John L. Waller, the ex-United States
consul at Tamatave, Madagascar, who is
now in the French prison, Chateau d Euf.
In the letter Bray asks Walters Kansas
City friends to raise $500 to loan him un-
til he gets settlement from the French
government, against which he has made
three separate claims for indemnity. 1t
is probable that a public meeting will be
called to raise the money Waller formerly
lived here and his friends are much con-
cerned over the sudden turn of events
which has landed him in prison on r.
year sentence and left his family unpro-
tected and unprovided for in Madagascar.

Story of the Man Who Had Hold OF Him
When He Cut His Throat.

when he Cut his throat.
A. Gerulff, German who resides on
the fiat below the north end of Monroe
street bridge, was picking berries
along the river bank when Smith came
tearing and tumbling down the hill
and dashed into the river a few yards
distant. 1t was Gerulff who had hold
of Smith when he cut his throat, and
who pulled him out of the water.
II thought he was a crazy man."
said Gerulff, when questioned after
ward. "He rolled and tumbled down
and then got up and ran into the river
only little way above where l was.
1 thought he was trying to drown him
self. He went out little way and
plunged in all over and the current
carried him to within a few feet of me.
1 rushed into the water up to my knees
and grabbed him by the shoulder and
lifted him up. He did not say a word.
AS soon as I got him on his feet he
reached in his left inside coat pocket
with his right hand, pulled out a razor
and drew it across his throat two or
three times before knew what he was
about. He sank down and the razor
fell in the river. I dragged him ashore
and two men came and helped me
carry him up on the bank. He lived
four or five minutes, but never spoke
word at any time"
There were three cuts, two almost in
the same place, squarely across the
throat. The other was above and as
deep as the others. The razor cut deep,
severing both jugulars, the windpipe
and the carotid arteries on both sides.
The place where Smith went down
the bank was almost directly in front
of Major Waters residence. For the
first IS feet the angle is about As degrees
and the hill is covered with sharp.
loose rock. Below it is also steep till
the bottom is reached. 1t would be al
most impossible for man to pick his
way down carefully without slipping
down, and as Smith was running, and
almost exhausted, it is not to be won
dered that he fell and rolled as he
went down.
