10 BIZ TRIED FOR MURDER.
Guard Waldrupe, Whom Escaping
Federal Convicts Shot, Is Dead
at Fort Leavenworth.
EVERY uUTINeER WILL PROBABLY HANS
Under the Laws of Conspiracy the "a Sur

WIN Try Them Thompson. the Negro,
Thought to Have Fired the Fatal Shot.

Leavenworth, kan., Nov. 10. b.
Waldrupe, a guard at the Fort Leav-
enworth military prison, who was
shot during the mutiny at that insti-
tuition on November Z, died Saturday
of his wounds. Twenty-four surviving
charge Of murder, and If found guilty
all may receive death sentence. Not
only this, but under the circum-
stances, although the crime occurred
in the state of Kansas, il was on gov
eminent soil and therefore the muir
der is punishable by hanging and
trial will be In federal court. Had
the convicts shot and killed a guard
mile west of the stockade it would
have saved their neoks, as the crime
there would have been committed on
Kansas soil and punished under the
laws of Kansas.
AS each of the "a of the revolving
convicts is equally guilty of the muir
der of Waldrupe. there is little ques-
ton that all will be tried and some
at least hanged, while the others can
scarcely expect less than a life SEN
tence. Besides murder. the captured
convicts are guilty of general conspir-
acy, resisting arrest, assault with in
tent to kill, interfering with the Unit
ed States mails land capturing mail
Cart, highway robbery, burglary. all
grades of larceny, etc. 1t is generally
supposed that Frank Thompson, the
negro who led the revolt. fired the
shot that caused Waldrupe's death.
Thompson is one of the II convicts
who have been captured since the
outbreak.
Waldrupe was born in Greenback,
Tenn, in 1876. He served in Cuba
