A Second Attempt at Fol-
 som Prison Yesterday
THREE CONWCTS KILLED
Three More Will Die of Their Wounds This Time the Guards Fired Indis- criminately, not Allowing Free nen to Be Used as Shields.

FolsOms Calif., Dec. 29-A break that was clever in plan and bold in xecu- tion took place at the prison here this afternoon. The guards obeyed the standing orders of the warden to shoot regardless of danger to free men, and as Q result seven of the nine con victs who had planned to get away were almost riddled with bullets three being now dead and three in a criti- cal condition. Captain R. J. Murphy is wounded by a shot in the leg and two slight knife wounds.
 The break was. similar in the gen eral plan to that of last July but the fact that it was within range of the guns of seven reliable guards. all dead shots, and one of these within fifty feet, makes it more bold, and desper- ate
 The convicts who were engaged in the break were all employed in the rock crusher where 325 of the most desperate prisoners were at work Captain Murphy was acting as general Overseer of the rock crusher and four other prison attaches, L. Daly, M. Ho- gan, Chas. Taylor and Chas Jolly, were employed as .'pushers'' to keep the men at work. A large sledge ham, mer was thrown into the crusher, causing the pOnderous machine to come to a standstilI. This attracted Captain Murphy, Chas. Jolly and Tay- Tor to the place immediately. There upon the desperate convicts rushed to seize Murphy, Jolly and Taylor. They succeeded in capturing the two first named. Others endeavored to take the other free man who escaped them.
 During this time the scene of trou- ble was under cover and the guards on the outside could not see the strug- Sling men, although they soon had an intimatiOn that something was wrong The convicts with their captives made their way toward a small post com manded by Guard w. H. Harris, who was armed with a rife Five of the gang surrounded Captain Murphy and two of them had Jolly The convicts had knives. in position for immediate execution should the guards attempt to free themselves. They had DO sooner stepped into the open than the seven guards -eomE4easetl~~fff7 ing aad within twenty seconds fully one hun dred shots had been fired and seven conVicts were on the ground helpless
 At the time the first shot was fired Warden Yell was in his office He rushed to the bluff overlooking the prison and thence down near the scene. He signalled the guards to con- tinue shooting and put his revolver in to operation also, at the same time giving orders to the remaining con Victs, who were crouching behind rocks and in other safe places, to line up and march in. This they did in quick order. The appearance of the warden in the midst of the fight gave his guards increased courage to carry out his orders. During all the trouble only one Calling gun was brought into plav and that only to frighten the par ticipants.
