DESPtRATE FLIGHT UNDER
FIRE THROUGH CITY STREETS
After Shooting Warden Prisoners Blow
Up Gate, Slay Gateman and in Their
Flight Seize Wagon, But Are Finally
Overpowered.
Jefferson City, Mo., Nor. 24. In a
desperate attempt to escape from the
State penitentiary this afternoon, five
eonvieta fought for freedom with weap
ons and nitro-glycerino at the prison
gate, killing two prison officers and
wounding Deputy Warden See, and four
men mado a dash through the streets
of Jefferson city under (ire, only to be
captured after two of the esacping men
had been wounded. '
Five prisoners, taking advantage of
the absence of Warden Hall and six
guards, who left today with seventy-one
Federal prisoners for Fort Leavenwortn,
Kan., attempted to escape, but only four
left the prison after wrecking the gate.
Convicts Harry Vaughn, Charles Ray
mond, Iliram Blake, George Ryan and
Eli Zieglcr, who were working close in
side the prison gate, having secured pis
tols and a bottle of nitgro-glycerine,
entered Deputy Warden R. E. See's of
fice, aitd shot him in the arm and the
iii i as he sat in a chair, lie sank back
helpless and the convicts rushed to the j
irate, where thev met O.atemnn John
( lay. Before Clay could raise his weap
on he was shot dead. E. Allison, com
missary officer who ran to Clay's as
sistance, also was fchot dead.
The convicts then rushed through the
gate, dragging Clay's body with them.
They slammed the gate shut and fasten
ed it. Ziegler was left inside.
The convicts placed nitro-glycerine
under the outside gate, and blew an
opening through the steel doors. The
four men crawled through this break
and dashed-through a number of ''trus
ty" convicts who were working in the
street.
Almost before the four escaped con
victs had covered a block, prison offi
cers were in pursuit, shooting as they
ran. The chase kept on for a dozen
blocks, the convicts outrunning their
pursuers.
Near the Missouri Pacific . railway
depot, the convicts came up with a
wagon driven by urvme iane. .lump
r into this wacon the desperadoes
seized Lane and used him as a shield
from the bullets of their pursuers,
One convict lashed the horse into a
run and escape seemed sure, when sud
denly a squad of city policemen and
armed citizens nppearcd and stopped
the horse. Shielding themselves ns well
as possible behind the sides of the ve
hicle, the four convicts fought the
policemen.
' '.'Volley after volley was fired in the
street by both sides to the conflict. The
policemen sheltering themselves behind
trees, splintered the wagon, finally put
ting a bullet through Vaughn and Blake,
the latter falling to the ground proba
blv fatally hurt.
Then the convicts surrendered. Lane
and his horse and convicts Ryan and

STARTLING REVELATIONS
IN INSURANCE INQUIRY
Bookkeeper Tells How lobbyist's Ac
count With J. P. Morgan & Co. Was
Closed Out Money Being Advanced
to the "Judge."
New York, Nov. 24. Startling devel
opments were brought out at today's ses
sion of the Armstrong Committee on
Insurance Investigation in the course of
a minute inquiry oy Mr. Hughes, coun
sel for the committee, into the syndi
cate transactions participated in by the
New York Life Insurance Company.
The most important witness of the
day was Milton .M. Madison, a book
keeper of the New York Life Insurance
Company, during whose examination it
was brought out that in the case of the
United States' Steel Corporation Syndi
cate, the managers of which were J. P.
Morgan & Company, there appeared in
one instance a profit due to the New
York Life of $87,187, from which was
deducted, no reason being given, the sum
of $59,310 paid to Andrew Hamilton,
who has been described in the course of
the investigation as the "insurance leg
islation generalissimo."
It appeared from records produced by
Mr. Hughes that an account of J. P.
Morgan & Company . with Hamilton
showed that in December, 1901, that firm
had advanced to Hamilton the mini of
$5,720, that on October 1, 11102, this ac
count amounted with interest to $51),'
m g1(, t,mt it wai, then cancelled by
the entry of that amount to Hamilton's
credit.
The entry of this amount in the nc
coiint of the New York Life read "as
per cancelled statement and arrangement
with 0. W. Perkins." It was also de
veloped that the participation in the
syndicate of the New lork Life was
effected through the New York Security
and Trust Compnny, by which one-fourth
of the profits of "the former company
Acre retained.
Pressed by Mr. Hughes to tell whether
he knew of any other instance of money
due the New York Life being paid to a
third party as in the Hamilton case, Mr.
Madison recalled the payment yi 1904
of $40,000 to George W. Perkins, repre
senting the profit on a loan of $930,000
to the Boston firm of Kidder, l eabody
and Company.
The profit, witness said, came in the
form of a check on the First National
Hank, which he cashed, giving Hie money
to Mr. Perkins. What the latter 'did
with it the witness did not know. No
entry of the transaction was made on
the books of the New York Life,
Other witnesses examined during the
day wero George T. ilson, fourth vice
president of the Equitable; Francis W.
Jackson, auditor, nnd (ierald Brown, in
charge of the bond department ot the
Equitable.

HELD FOR MURDER OF
WIFEJi CHILDREN
Mother and Five Offsprings Are
Brutally Murdered and Their
Corpses Mutilated.
Independence, Iowa, Nov. 24. Mrs.
William McWillinm and her five chil
dren, ranging from three to eighteen
years in age, were slain at their farm
here today and the husband and father
was arrested in Independence tonight
charged with killing the mombers of his
family. He declares himself to be hv
nocent.
Each person had been killed with i
hammer blow on the head. Mrs. Mc
Williama wa atrociously beaten, and a
few knife thrusts had been inflicted on
the crushed body. In the woman's right
arms lay the corpse of the three-year-old
baby, its hood, coat and mittens
on and a piece of buttered bread in one
hand. The baby had been killed by one
blow of a hammer on the hed.
The other children lay about the house,
dressed in working elotbes. It is thought
that the mother and baby were killed
first and that then the children had been
called into the house one at a time and
struck dead with the hammer. There
was little evidence of a struggle.
