The Star Of The North (Bloomsburg, Pa.): July 29, 1857 July 29, 1857
ATTEMPTED ESCAPE
David S. McKim recently convicted of the murder of Samuel T. Norcross at Altoona,
and now in jail at Hollidaysburg under sentence of death, came near making his
escape on Monday or Tuesday night of last week. Although closely watched since his
confinement, yet he managed to get possession of a case knife with which he sawed
through the manacles upon his feet and had it not been for its timely discovery by
the jailer, be would doubtless have escaped.
