HOLDEN'S DESPERATE RUSE
ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE FROM THE
eENlTENTlARY.
SHOT PLATTE CENTER BANKER

eoastins That He Had Never Been
Kept in TO Serve His Term He Hides
In a Heated Broom Handle Kiln,
But is Discovered.
Convict William Holden. alias VII.
liam Hogan, serving n fourteen year
term in the penitentiary at Lincoln
for holding up and shooting the cash
Ter Of the Platte Center bank man
who boasts that he has been in many
penitentiaries and never yet served
his time in any such place, was
dragged from hiding yesterday after
noon in the kiln drying room OF the
Nebraska penitentiary shops, posi-.
tion that he had occupied for three
days, His experience is rivalled only
by Edgar Aliens stowaway in the
hold Of n ship with only few sea
biscuit and dog for a companion. AS
the dog went mad from lack OF water
the gentleman in the hold OF the ship
had an unpleasant forty-eight hours.
Cutting out the escape, he all but RI
vailed Jean Valijean's exit from con.
vent in a coffin and a close call from
being buried alive in a third class
cemetery.
Holden was taken out Of the heated
room more dead than alive. He had
secreted himself three days before in
a large pile OF broom handles, after
having supplies himself with a weap.
on Of offense, a rope and an iron hook
to scale the walls of the stockade and
provisions and water to withstand a
siege until the guards should believe
him to have gone. He had built n
narrow room in the interior OF a pile
OF broom handles after securing a lib
eral supply OF food and water and a
long wicked looking broom knife from
the shops where he had worked tying
brooms.
Almost unable to stand the prisoner
was taken from his hiding place.
Warden Beemer had practically turned
the ceilings and floors of the shops
and the sewers inside out in search
for the missing man. After finding
the convict the warden did not punish
him in the usual manner by placing
him in the dark hole on bread and
water. The warden appeared to be so
pleased over the capture that he SIM
ply ordered the convict to be set to
work again as If nothing had hap
pened. He believed the man to have
been punished enough by confinement
in his steam heated quarters. The
only difference is that hereafter Hol-
den will work within a few feet OF q
guard instead of at long range.
Holden is considered a desperate
man. He tried to loot a bank in broad
daylight. He entered the place and
shot the cashier in the neck in his
effort to secure money, He ran from
the building and was soon caught and
sentenced to serve fourteen years in
the penitentiary. The cashier recov.
cred from his wound. The charge
against Holden was assault with in.
tent to kill and murder. He is only
thirty-eight years old, but has served
in the Ohio and Michigan penitentia-
ries and is supposed to have been in
other prisons.

The resurrection Of Christ gives us
the glorious hope OF victory through

besetting sins. Samuel Coleridge who
INDUCED in opium and thereby OBJ
scured his brilliant intellect, once
wrote regarding the story of his vice:
For ten years the agony Of my spirit
has been indescribable, the sense Of
my danger startling, but the con-
sciousness Of my guilt was worse, far

Christ also gives us the blessed hope
of immortality. This question Of the

the humilating way of the cross. The
way of immortality is by way of the
Holy Sepulchre. The way to eternal
glory is by stretching out the hands
