SHERMAN JOLLY DEAD.
Convict Cut in ARRAY sat Penitentiary
Died Yesterday.

Sherman Jolly, the convict who was
stabbed last week by Archie McIver,
a fellow prisoner at work in the brick
yard at the Denitentiary died early
yesterday mornin".
While the evidence is that jolly
was making a murderous assault on
McIver at the time he was cut, tbs
latter will now in all probability nave
to stand trial for manslaughter.
Coroner Jordan and a jury met III
the superintendent office at noon
and for four hours were engaged III
the taking of testimony, going fuzzy
into the details OF the quarrel ana
fight which preceded the fatal cut
ting.
From the evidence it appeared that
the two convicts had been playing
craps on the day on which the cut
ting was done and the bad blood al
ready existing between them was in
tensified by the game. They fought
fercely, Archie McIver striking Jolly
with scantling which he broke over
the latter's head and Jolly striking
McIver with a brick. The men were
parted and held by convicts but, upon
being released, at once ran together
and the cutting occurred.
Several convicts testified that when
the men were being held, both put
their hands in their pockets as thougi,
