Guard Jerry Condo succumbed to injuries sustained two days earlier during an escape attempt from the Centre County Jail.

Four of the escapees were arrested several days later. The two men who attached Guard Condo were convicted of murder in September 1904.
Guard Condo was a Civil War veteran. He was survived by his wife and several children.
