West Point, Ga., May 10.—John Mc Cann, a white man serving a 15-day sentence on the roads here, made a desperate leap from the bridge which spans the Chattahoochee river at this point, diving forty feet before striking the water. Notwithstanding the fact that the man was shackled, he swam half a mile down stream before he was overtaken by officers in a gasoline launch. It is said that McCann had ob jected to being shackled, and had stated to the guards that he would take his ife. It is not known whether the per ilous leap was taken in an effort to commit suicide, or whether it was an effort to escape. If the latter. McCann is possessed of plenty of nerve. Fully dressed as he was, and with shackles on, his leap was a spectacular one. Lived 152 Years. Wm.
