the property owners twenty years in which to

PATIENTS ATTACK
KEEPERS.
Four Inmates Succeeded in Es-
Gaping and Have Not Been
Captured.

Fulton, Mo-, March 5.-Ten
criminal insane patients at the hos
pital for the insane made a desper-
ate attempt to escape from their
keepers while going to breakfast.
Benjamin Richardson, who was
admitted to the institution from the
state penitentiary February rs,
1903, and served sentence of four
years for grand larceny, and who
had been, in the meantime, senten-
ced to the penitentiary for 90 years
Tor killing deputy sheriff in Ozark
county, cut the iron wrist bands of
the ten patients and they tried to
overpower their keepers.
Richardson used shoeknife
similar to those used at the State
Penltentiary, but how he came in
possession of it is mystery.
In the struggle, after the men
were liberated by Richardson, SUI
pervisor Thomas Steer made a brave
fight and was considerably injured.
Other employees came to his
assistance and six men were pre-
vented from getting away.
In addition to Richardson, the
following men escaped: C.E. Nor
lidge, admitted from ackson county,
Missouri, who was convicted there
of grand larceny in 1902 and SEN
fenced to seven wears in the peni
tcntiary; w. S. Wilson, from
Jackson county, admitted Decem-
Der 5, 1902, and sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary for grand
larceny in 1902, and Harry Ed
wards, from Platte county, admitted
December 5, 1902, and sentenced to
the penitentiary for ten years on a
charge of burglary.
AS soon as the liberated patients
who had not escaped were restrain
ed, posse was sent in pursuit of
the missing men, but no trace of
the meu has been fond.
Richardson is considered dan
gerouS man.
