Antagonists shake Hands.

Mr. Vincent looked fatigued and drow-
sy, but recuperated when the proceed
ings were resumed, and returned to the
charge with most Of his original en-
ergy. Still the confidence Of the ready
witness did not contribute much to the
lawyers own stock of assurance. The
two antagonists shook hands across the
table when they met in the court room
and then retired to an ante-room TO
talk over their differences. They did
not return until court convened. Luet-
CERT still leaned on his crutch when he
re-entered the court room Friday A
clean shave improved his appearance
somewhat, but the replies he made to
his son. Arnold, William Charles and
the group of experts that surrounded
his chair were for the most part lst-
less and perfunctory. The prisoner
shows unmistakable evidence of the
strain he is under, and there is no Won
der. Even a petrified man would be
likely TO display some emotion after
three weeks of such an ordeal as the
sausage maker has been compelled to

Desperate Battle Occurs in Ohio
Penitentiary.
GUARDS GET THE WORST OF IT..

One Is Believed To Be Dying from Frac-
tured skull and Another Il Suffering
from Less serious Wounds Rioters
Placed in Solitary COnfinement-Upris-
ing in the 1t. Vincent de Paul Peniten-
tiary In Quebec Province.
Columbus o., Sept lS.-'rhe most dar-
ing attempt at escape in the history of
the Ohio penitentiary was made Thurs
day. 1t occurred i'm broad daylight and
in the face Of the little army OF over
one hundred guards. Hundreds of Wis
itors were in the institution at the time,
yet three prisoners with drawn revolv
ers, forced their way past armed guards,
through barred doors, and, shooting
right and left, scattered shreking
crowds Of men and women, and one of
the three actually succeeded in clearing
the grounds and reaching the middle
of the Scioto river before being capt
ured. The faithful guard, A. Z. Dun
can of Mount Gilead is believed to be
dying from a fractured skull, and an
other, Ben f. James of Delaware is
suffering from flesh wounds. either of
which would have been fatal had the
convicts' aim been truer.
Drained with Piece of Gas Pipe.
The three convicts-Wiliam Clark OF
Cleveland, William +. Bolts of Toledo.
and William Pultney of TeXas-were at
work in the broom shop. away at the
north Of the grounds. Only two guards
were on duty there-Duncan and r.. G..
Cole. Clark asked Guard Duncan to
look at a hole in the floor. AS the un-
suspecting guard stopped to do so Clark
fractured his skull with a piece of gas
pipe and as the man fell grabbed his
reviewers from his pocket The three
convicts ran the whole length Of the
shop, and while Clark held up Guard
Cole, Bolts, with the gas pipe, smashed
the lid of the wooden box on Coles desk
and took out Coles revolver. Mean
while Pultney hauled out two short lad
Gers which the conspirators had hid
den in the shop and spiced them to-
gether with broom wire. But they were
ten feet too short Then Pultney, the
Texan, saw the uselessness Of trying
TO escape and threw down a long broom
knife his only weapon, and surrendered
to Guard Cole.
Flushed for The Ohicr.
Clark and Bolts made a rush for the
office with Guard james aiter them.
Clark, the Cleveland murderer, turned
on him. hitting James In the breast.

jumped in. wading up to his waist A
trusty named w. G.. Sorter and several
guards were close behind him, while
Captain William II Nickprs who had
grabbed a rifle from Guard Parker,
headed Clark off on the east. Vickers
made Clark throw up his hands. Bolts
was captured in the office. The three
conspirators were put in solitary con-
finement. Guard Duncan was carried
to the prison hospital but he has not
regained consciousness, and there is lit
