Show CONVICT WHO SOUGHT DEATH .WILL RECOVER Idaho Bank-Robber Who Attempted Suicide by High Jump, Not Seriously Injured. BOISE, Ida., March 18. Bob Meeks, the bank robber convict, appears to have come through his experience of last evening even-ing without being dangerous injured. An examination made yesterday disclosed the fact that there were no broken bones or other injuries likely to prove serious. The fellow made a terrible plunge. He had been back in the prison only -a few days after having had a leg amputated as a re-" suit of his recent attempt at escape. When he was called to come in he was on a platform at the second story of the un-ilnlshed un-ilnlshed new cell houpe. Instead of climbing climb-ing down he climbed to the top of the wall. The warden tried to reach him by means of a ladder, but he pushed It fcway and then plunged head first to the ground. |
