C?1 pli From the Times Herald, pub- IU0 lished at l'alatku, Fla., wo clip lI^ the following interview with Sher 1U, . K1(' ' iir Hunter relative to the escape Qf j of Walter McManus: ?? Shoriff John P. Hunter, of V" ! ? al t Lanoaster, S. C., was hero Wed- col nestlay of last week and took hack 0. with him one Walter McManus, 1 ot j white, charged with murder. it ' Sheriff Hunter said that he knew |1 < . nothing whatever about the cause 1,1 ret :) of the murdor which MeM.inus of ! co in untied in his county, that all j ho knows about it is that on the lr, f ' 10th of August last Walter \lc? p? j Manns was charged by the euro- Ln t j tier's jury with shooting and kill- ^ ing 0110 John Loach, colored, and n.i after which said McManus evaded !in' Pn , arrest until the 28th of October ^ ^ last, when ho came to tho oflicer roi j and surrendered. _ ,rtn ShoritT Hunter stated that ho ' treated McManus in tho same |j., ^ mannor us had always been his ens sic f torn with people charged with rec 1 crime who would voluntarily sur- l?n render to him, that is with more ofl I kindness, allowing them privilegos in not keeping them bo close- ' ly contined as he did those ho whr . ? :) obliged to run down and catch tra< - afield. Ho said that Mo Man us oft'. 1 was taken sick while in jail and of \ 0 that ho, the sheriff, had the conn- ' ',1 ty physician called in at once and 1 rave the prisoner every needful ^ attention, permitting him to stuy , down stairs in the jail and to eat |IA|, f at the jailer's table. But not- two t withstanding all of this McManus, n'-1 for some reason or cause best l);l> known to himself and perhaps lo 1 others, on the night of November 13th, 1903, whilo the jailer and family were asleep, noiselessly Wii raised the window of his bedroom . and made good his escape. This ? * 1 escape and recapture, a Times- At y Herald represeniative was informed, had cost him upwaad of $250. He also affirmed that bo had not n ' spared a dollar nor left a stono of I r unturned in having McManus re* Dw( t captured. 1 Bui 1 He declared that he would not "?* t .-1 L. L - - couiu no nave avoided it, worked Fin . and been worried as has been the bij' 3 case, for a great deal moro than jjis' it had cost him. Also that ho Boi conld ill afford to pay tho lrrgo Nll> 7 roward and consequent expense l of taking McManus back to Lancaster and not be reimbursed; but 65,1,1 * under tho circumstances ho would st!i have it to do, as ho would not ask J his county to share ono penny of u)j[ - th? cost. lie took tho whole ro- u I ponsibility of treating tho pri- [i soner with consideration upon himself and did not moan that tho 1 " county or any ono else should , klj ? thereby snffor. So, instead of s.,t s Lancaster county losing anything i .. by McMunus' escape from jail it 1 , f will save something in not having to diet him during the weoks lie pet has boen gone. But the fact ,(>l 8 sticks out in bold rolief that the sheriff caught it pretty heavily. . ^ M'lous Aci'idiMit to Mr. Wesley Ilortou, Oil Thursday Inst while do* g Home repair work on his resince, near K< rshaw, Mr. Wen ley ae Horton accidentally fell from i*> scafiold to the ground, u di?* tri new of 15 feet, his head striking a ground tirst, producipg cons?ion of the bruin. 11 is eoudi>n ut Inst accounts was reported ry serious.
