CONVICT’S STRUGGLE.

LONDON, April 4. A struggle between two gaolers and a prisoner was seen yesterday at Beverley Yorkshire Railway Station. A fitter named Albert Edwin Dales 21, was sentenced at East Riding Quarter Sessions at Beverley to 18 months’ hard labour for indecently assaulting and attempting to rob a married woman on a lonely country road, near Driffield. Dales was brought handcuffed by two warders, to Beverley Station from the court house to travel to Hull prisone. Just as the train was about to steam into' the station, Dales tripped one of the warders up and attempted to throw himself in front of the engine. The other warder, however, kept hold of Dales, who was hampered by his handcuffs. A severe struggle lasted or several minutes before, with the assist, ance of railway officials, Dales was overpowered and got into the train. A pathetic onlooker was Dales’s young wife with her two-months old baby in Tier arms. PRINCESS MARY IN PARIS. PARIS, April 4.
