With deafening yells they started up in a body and rushed for the neighboring woods.

The prisoners ran in one large body, and the guards simply emptied their repeating rifles and small arms into the moving mass.

These rumors were strengthened by the fact that many of the convicts were serving life-sen-tences'and were known to be desperate characters, and extra precautions were being taken.
