Drake on August 11, 1906, and who escaped from the Anderson county jail at an early hour on the morning of August 1, e1't, rtiiiied' to Anderson Sundy, just five months after his escape, surrendered to the sheil'ff, afili is idv 1h~t.9 4pen i tentiary at Columbia.. In the account he gave ot his escape from jail, he completely exoppates Sheriff Green or Jdaor Cochran of anyconniv antee or assistanice" In' his story he said: -iTt 'was an-ehsy matter for me to unlock that door with this key which I made. The plumb ers were 'heie Workihg on the sewerage system and when one of thelm put 'down a )1ece of sol der and turned his back, I grabber.d it. .tas. out of that piece of solder that I carVed this key. .'It took Me about fopr aid a half hours.. to eut..it'oit with my.yodkewt ktfv:..Jo not know .whether this key will 6pen this door now or not.' It opened it the- night; I.:t away. I have been carrying it arIound in m y pocket evei since arnd 'it may be twisted or a'little 'crooked'now.'' While he "was saying 'this he was fitting the itation' key in the big lock - and wvith a twist of the wrist the bolt of the lock flew back and the door swung openl. Emerson . gave as his reasons for returning as follows: "I read In -the papers several stories about my delivery. I sa'w Sheriff Green and Jailer. Cochran were somewhat ceni sured and the.,.people, seemed to blame -them for my escape. I want to say right now that in my- opinion a million dollars would not move either. Mr. Cochran or Sheriff Green. Both of them are honest men and It never entered my head that a bribe would secure my escape. Those gentlemen should not be blamed for my escape for they wvere not responsible. As soon as I road in the papers that the people blamed them I made up my mind to return and to suir render and then tell how I did escappe..'
