Mary Potter, who, with her broth: 'Kenneth Potter, was an Jove wit the pasture owned by Queen's University and adjoining the penitentiary property. Mary stated that they had just crossed "the pris- on road at the corner off Johnson street when, without the slightest warning she saw Convict McCoskey, who was carrying-a steel bar, come up from behind Guard Jenkins and strike him on the head. The first blow knocked Jenkins to the ground and as the convict struck the second blow while Guard Jenkins was ly- ing on the ground, she gave a soream and ran to the home of 8. G. Hill, who resides about fifty yards from where the assault took place. Heér brother stayed with the cows and saw the four blows struck, but he was unable to stop the convict, as the assault was committed so quick- ly. After striking the fourth blow, according to Kenneth Potter, the convict ran down Johnson street, carrying the crow bar, in Attacked From Rear, According to the story of the two eye witnesses, Guard Jenkins was watching two of the convicts who were working directly in fromt of him, while McCoskey and two oth- ers were a short distance away. When "Mary . Potter gave the scream the other convicts were very much alarmed and they turned. to Guard Jédking on the: p land' Convict McCoskey striking him over the head with an fron bar. It is claimed that the other convicts, especially Dickinson, called for Me- Coskey to quit, but it was too late i i Mary's School, | | as the bar of steel had done its dead: ly work. The prison authorities realize that all four conviets could have made their escape but they remained loyal to Guard Jenkins and did everything i possible for him. Convict Dickinson ran to the home of 8. G. Hill and called the warden's office, while Convict Medley, who was driving the water cart engaged in the concrete work, chased Mec- Coskey down the road a short dis. tance, but at the same time had in mind going to the home of Mr. Pol- litt, who resides on Johnson street, about ope hundred yards trom the Hill home, and calling the keeper of the north gate of the prison, which he did. The other convicts, Turner and Hill, stayed.close by the guard, who was lying in an unconscious condition, until help arrived from the prison.
