Jailer Rose was stabbed to death during an escape attempt from the Benton County Jail. When Jailer Rose opened a cell door an inmate threw hot water in his face. The inmate's brother, also an inmate at the jail, then wrapped a towel around Jailer Rose's head. The two inmates beat him and then stabbed him four times with his own pocket knife. The suspects freed a third prisoner and then fled. All three men were apprehended. One of the brothers later died in prison of natural causes.
