DESPERATE CoNv1cTs.
Two Men Try 70 Escape from Ohio
Penitentiary-They XIII Guard,
and Are Both WOunded.

Columbus, O., Nov. 10. There was q
desperate attempt made by two con-
victs to escape from the penitentiary
about eight o'clock in the morning, as
a result of which Guard Charles d. Lau-
terbach, of Mount Vernon, was shot
and killed, while Convicts O'Neil and
Atkinson received injuries of q serious
nature, and both are now in the prison
hospital.
By some means Convicts O'Neil and
Atkinson. who are serving Is years for
robbery, obtained possession of re-
volver and proceeded to carry out a
bold plan to escape. One covered his
face with handkerchief and went into
the broom shop where he held up Guard
Lime and took his revolver. He then
returned 10 the hoe shop, where the
other man joined him, and they opened
fire upon Guard Lauterbach, who was in
charge Of that department.
The guard was shot three times and
almost instantly killed. The sound of
the shooting reached the other Off
Gals in the prison, and they came on the
run to investigate. Guard Gump was
the first on the scene, and, taking in the
situation at glance, opened fire on the
two prisoners. This was returned, and
regular battle was in progress until
the revolvers of all the participants
were emptied.
In the fray Convict Atkinson was
shot down and seriously injured and,
as soon as the guns were cmptied, Guard
Gump rushed in with his cane and al
most beat O'Neil to death before the
prisoner would surrender. The men
were taken to the hospital, where their
injuries were attended to. Atkinson
was shot in the body, but is not thought
to be seriously hurt, but O'Neil was so
beaten about the head that his injuries
may result fatally.
The other prisoners in the shop
where the shooting occurred took no
part in the affair, but it is understood
that they stood ready to follow if the
efforts of the two leaders proved sue
cessful. Previous to making the out
break one of the two prisoners forced
third man to place a ladder against
the outside of the penitentiary wall, SO
that when they had fought their way
out of the shops they could shoot down
the wall guard and make their escape
by that route.
Frank O'Neil and John Atkinson are
serving their third terms. Atkinson
says that O'Neil received two guns on
the 4th of July, when visitors were
allowed in the prison. They were hid
den by Atkinson, the two men decid-
ing to wait for fall before trying to es-
cape.
They had been waiting for three
weeks for an opportunity.
Atkinson was shot twice in the right
arm and O'Neil has two severe scalp
wounds. Neither is fatally hurt
