Planned to Kill Deputy Sheriff

Salisbury, Md, October 10 (SpeciaD
What might have been a wholesale de-
livery of the prisoners locked in the
county Jail here was narrowly averted
last night. when Depty Sheriff Roy
Smith, noticing the suspicious actions Of
several of the prisoners, thought some
thing was wrong and had them searched.
Afterward he found that they had plan
ned TO knock him senseless. or kill him,
if necessary, in order to secure their
liberty.
Their plan was to call him to get them
bucket of water. and when he brought
1t to their cell and opened the door to
give it to them, to hit him on the head
with piece Of lead pipe which they had
torn from the water piping overhead
and then get his keys and pistols and
make their escape. Those of the pris-
oners who were in the scheme were Ar
thur Parsons, sentenced to four years in
the penitentiary at this session of the
court George Ennis, colored. sentenced
to two years and six months; Neal
Pryor, colored, sentenced to five years:
Charles Williams. sentenced to three;
James Jackson, colored; Oscar Whaley
and Rowland Harpthorn, whose cases
have not been tried as yet. under the
charge Of larceny.
On account of this plan coming to
light Sheriff Kelly left this morning
with the five prisoners who have been
sentenced. for the penitentiary. Upon
examination of the Jail. after the plan
had come to light, several of the bars
in the cells where these prisoners were
confined were found to be sawed almost
completely into.

Guilty Of ManSlaughter.

After being out for several hours, the
jury in the Salisbury murder case, at
ll.45 o'clock Saturday night, brought
in a verdict OF manslaughter against
Mrs. Annie +. Hudson for the murder
of her husband. Tobias Hudson. Owing
to the lateness of the hour, there were
very few spectators in the court room
when the verdict was rendered. II is
said the verdict was compromise, the
first ballot standing for murder in the
first degree. 2 for manslaughter and 5
for acquittal. Several successive bal
lots were the same, until finally the YER
diet of manslaughter was agreed upon
by the twelve jurors. This verdict ear
ries with il n sentence of from one TO
ten years in the penitentiary.
During the whole trial the defense did
not claim self-defense or accidental
shooting, but insanity, and it was
thought that only two verdicts were
possible under the evidence-either muir
der in the first degree or insanity-so
the verdict as rendered came as a sur
prise.
Sentence will probably be pronounced
by the court the latter part of this week,
