PRISONER wEPT.
He Had Just stepped From Prison
Gate When Rearrcsted.

Louisville. KY. January. IL
Budwell Nichols stepped out OF the
state penitentiary at Frankfort last
night and had scarcely filed his
lungs with the air of freedom, at
ter having served a term Of four
years, when he was arrested by De-
tective Edward Moran of the local
police force.
The crime for which Nichols has
served his sentence was the break
ing into and robbing the home Of
Babe" Brown, colored. who Is now
in jail awaiting a second trial on
the charge Of numbering Hattie Ed
wards, his mistress.
The charge on which Nichols IS
arrested is that OF malicious shoot
ing. 4 few days previous to the time
Nichols was arrested on the charge
of HOUSEKEEPING he was found rat
Ting the doors of some business
houses at Hancock ami Marshall
streets by Patrolman schupp and
Maxim. When the officers rushed up
TO put him under arrest Nichols 90
said 10 have drawn revolver and
held the officers at bay, When Mich
OILS had gotten out of reach OF the
policeman he turned and lied. and
when they began pursuit he opened
fire on them.
A running fight for two squares
ensued, and in IL bullet struck the
helmet OF Maxim, clipping a piece
out of the crown. Nichols was arrest
ed TWO days later ana tried aud con-
yicted on the former oifense stated.
When Moran stepped up to Mich
OILS, placed his arm on his shoulder.
and told him he was under arrest,
the latter broke down and cried.
II have reformed" said Nichols.
"and I thought when the prison
gates slammed behind me was
again TO enjoy Gods freedom, but |
suppose those gates viii open again
and another term is in store for me "
Out of consideration of Nichols,
whose promise he had that he would
not Try TO escape, Moran brought
him TO the city without shackles or
handouts.
