He was the leader in the uprising

the other prisoners and throws pots Of

he can get his hands on at his fellow

A few hours afterward the jailor
found the prisoner by brute strength
had broken the handouts and secured
the freedom of his cell Mr.. Wiley
went to the police station to ask the
police for help in hand-cuffing the man
again, but says that Sergeant Webb
would not volunteer any men for the

Failing to enlist the aid OF the police,
the jailor went into the cell and put
a new pair of cuffs on the negro and
again hand-cuffed him to the cell, and
unless he broke that pair of cuffs.
Johnson stood up In the one position
all night.
Jailor Wiley said last night that
he proposes to break Johnson before
the negro finishes his term in Jail. The
jailors have trouble with the negro

ments adopted to make him behave
have had the opposite effect.
