Sheriff shoots prisoner in Tama jail during escape attempt
Edward Collier, 22, a Chicago homebound prisoner, locked Sheriff Harris and Marshal Thompson in the jail cage after forcing the door. Harris fired through the bars, wounding Collier in both legs. Collier had been tunneling under the bathroom window and was perilously close to escaping. He faced a grand jury bond of 500 dollars, had traveled from Chicago, and a 38 Colt and a four inch knife were found in the car later involved in the case.
