AirmsACE qo:;vict: ALMOST BRAINS I ANOTHER CONVICT AT OREGON ; PENITENTIARY Both Convicts Are Serving Life Sentence for Murder Is Struck on the Head With a Dull i Axe Other News. Salem, April 30. Addieon Kidd struck Lewis Warren over the head with an axe at the state prison this morning. Both men are, convicts. Though bis skull is badly fractured it is believed that Warren will re cover, for be did not lose con sciousness. It is believed ' that the act was committed in a fit of temporary insanity. Both meu are serving life sentences for murder. About 11 o clock this lorenoon a number of convicts were gathering in the laundry building, in the rear of the prison, Kidd and Warren a' mong them. Warren was sealed on a low stool when Kidd entered, and half a dozen other convicts were standing around. Without saying a word or giving any warning of his intentions, Kidd picked up an axe that Jay near the door, and lifting it above his head, brought the blade down upon the head qf War ren. The axe was dull and was not given a heavy swing or it would have split Warren's bead wide open. ' in an instant John McMahan, also a life-timer, sprang upon Kidd to 3ubdue him. Though McMahan iB regarded as the most powerful man in the prison, Kidd swung him around like a child and would have broken loose but for the prompt assistance of the other con victs, who also grappled with Kidd. It was all that six men could do to hold Kidd and tie his hands and feet with rows. He was carried to a cell and locked up. ,To all appearance he is in his u sual mind except that he tilks rather incoherently. He disclaims all knowledge of any injury that has been done to Warren. ividd was received at the prison in February, 1902, from Wasco county. " He placed an obstruction on the railroad track, thus derailing a train and causing & death, for which he was convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to life imprisonment. Until, a year ago he was sullen - and stubborn, though committing no serious in fractions of the rules. During the last year he has been quiet and o bedient,, the change being so pro nounced as to be remarked bj pris on officials. Recently he has talk ed with Superintendent James about the possibility of his release, acd brotched the subject this morning, wb-n. he seemed in his usual ; men tal condition. . J mes Warren was received at the orison in January, 1901, on a conviction of murder committed on bi ad a ship lying in Portland har bor. He and Kidd have been ' the be t of friends since they have been together in prison and no reason caw be assigned by either Warren or fie prison ; officials why Kidd should attempt to take his life. , Kaupangtze, Manchuria, April 30.
