James Wallace Fatally Shot

James Wallace, a criminal sent to the Anamosa Penitentiary from Clinton County for burglary, attempted to escape last Monday evening and was fatally shot by a guard. Wallace was sent up for two years and on good behavior would have been released in twelve months more. He is released however, from any further possibility of prison confinement.
