Leavenworth, Kan., Feb. 22. —Wi! liam Rudolph, or Charles Gorney, who killed a Pinkerton detective near St. Louis, tried to kill a guard in order to escape, while in the dining room of the Kansas penitentiary to- day. Rudolph made the attempt shortly before 7 o'clock this evening asthe prisoners were marching te their celle. Rudolph had been brought in from the east wing cell house with a party of prisoners in charge of a guard named Roe. As the prisoners in this wang arose from the table to go owt Rudolph seized a table knife and sprang at Roe, at the time calling him to surrender, “Tobe” Taylor an old life prisoner, seized Nudolph's arm and prevented him from cutting Roe. Two other prisoners grabbed Rudolph and the three bore him te the ground. Rudolph was escorted back to the cell house by guards. On searching Rudolph a note ad dressed to his mother was found in his clothing. The officers state there was nothing of importance in the note, but it fully establishes the iden- tity of Rudolph. Rudolph has been put in shackles since the break in the dining room and he will be confined in a solitary cel! until released from the penitentiary. Even had he bro- ken away from the guard in the dining room he would have been far rom liberty, The dining ‘hail fs within the walls of the prison.
