victs, who are convicted of the murder of
John Keith, a street-car conductor. The
incident happened In the train yesterday
morning just before 1t left East st. Louis

Sheriff Thompson and Superintendent
Schaefer of the workhouse were in
charge of Roach and Clegg, who were
handcuffed. The prisoners were placed in
q seat and Sehaefer sat in the next seat,
which he reversed so that he could face
them. Sheriff Thompson stopped to shake
hands with an acquaintance.
Just at this time Deputy Sheriff Clark
entered the coach with a prisoner: Seeing
Roach and CleSg .shackled he ordered his
man TO sit beside Schaefer. Sheriff Thomp-
son told the prisoner to get out of that
seat. Tit prisoner said that he had been
told to sit there and that he would remain
there.
Visions Of a plan to assist Roach and
SIeag to escape flashed through the Sher-
MS mind as he peremptorily ordered the
prisoner to get out of the seat.
