Jack Chesterfield, who must serve
sentence of three years for brutal
assault on girl at Seattle, is just
recovering from wounds received in
an attempt to blow his way out of
the Seattle Jail several months ago
with dynamite. Chesterfield's wife
who had permission to visit him while
he was confined in Jail waiting trans
portation to the penitentiary, slipped
him four sticks of dynamite during
one of her visits. The dynamite was
hidden away in his bunk until one
day, when the coast appeared clear
Chesterfield attempted to blow his cell
TO pieces. The first stick fired blew
big hole in the top of his cell. The
shock threw Chesterfield against
the side of his cell and he was serious
ly injured by flying steel.
Was Drowned Out.
No hing daunted the crazed man
siezed another stick and hurled II
against the cell door. The steel re-
fused to yield however and by this
time the Jail officials attracted by the
noise began to arrive. Chesterfield
was called upon to surrender but re-
fused, threatening death to any one
who attempted to come near him.
Various means were resorted to to
subrue Chesterfield without erect.
Finally a fire hose was procured and an
icy stream of water was shot In from
the ton of the cell onto Chesterfield.
Not until he was nearly drowned did
he surrender. The remaining sticks
Of dynamite and a knife were found
in his cell. Chesterfield was so badly
wounded that it was necessary to take
him to a hospital for treatment Inc
wounds in his head bothered him a
great deal and for a time it was
feared the man was going insane. He
recovered sufficiently however, to be
taken back to Jail where he has been
confined until brought to the peniten-
tiary yesterday.

in between Wise and Hildebrand. Wise
broke loose from Hildebrand and
rushed away for gun. SherlH Lou
Smith, hearing the shot rushed upon
Hildebrand and ordered MIN to drop
his revolver. The convict refused and
the sheriff shot at him and missed.
Another demand to drop the revolver
met with a refusal and the sheriff shot
again. the bullet burying itself in the
wall above Hildebrands head. AS the
sheriff was coolly drawing a bead on
Hildebrand for a third shot, he
dropped the revolver and trustees
