DESPERATE CRIMINAL.
Hensley, Alias King, Makes Desperate
 Attack Upon Guard En Route.

Constable Matt Moore succeeded in getting Bert Hensley, alias King, safe ly to Mansfield, Ohio despite Hen sley's announced purpose to kill the officer en route and make his escape. Hensley tried to make good his threat, however. and when the train was close to the Mexican line, this side of El Paso, he made desperate attack up on the officer and a break to jump from the train, although he was hand cuffed and shackled. With the aid of several passengers, the prisoner was overpowered and subdued, and Moore's watchfulness prevented any further attempt to escape.
 Hensleys desperation is accounted for by the fact that he faces the cer- tainty of fifteen years imprisonment for breaking parole and the possibility of additional punishment on convic- tion of the crime of poisoning a young woman. He fled from Ohio to escape arrest on a charge of murder
 Hensley evidently had no scruples about killing people. He tried to mur- der Jake Meadows, would have killed Moore if he could have secured the officers gun, and it Is certainty that when he escaped from the county jail, taking the Sheriff's rife, he would have tried to kill pursuing officers had they struck his trail that night.
 The men who helped Hensley es- cape turned loose a malignant criminal and endangered the lives of useful cit izens. They are likely to hear from the Grand Jury before long.
