Five white prisoners were wounded, a negro trusty accidentia' acci-dentia' shot and killed, and a. pedestrian pedes-trian almost a block from the jail wounded in the left arm when fifteen prisoners attempted to escape from the Dade county jail. The escape was frustrated when the men were met by a volley from shotguns and revolvers in the hands of deputy sheriffs as they emerged from the jail door. In anticipation of the attempted escape, the armed deputies, headed by Sheriff Henry R. Chase, placed themselves at various points in the jail yard and fired as the men broke from the door. |
