Killed an Escaping Prisoner. About ld o'clock last Monday morn ing George Rice and Seek Green, two young negroes, made their escape from the County Jail. Green was sick, and he and Bice, on account, of the crowded condition of the Jail, had been trans ferred to the female ward. At the en trance to this ward isa light frame door, which the prisoners succeeded in springing backward it? allow the bolt to pass, using apiece of a broom handle, which had been trimmed Hat on one end. Watching their opportu nity, and knowing that Sheriff Green had gone to his oftice, they slipped dow n the stairway and. escaped t brough i lu back \ard. Au hour latei Sherill" G reen returned to the jail and was informed by a pris oner of the escape of the two negroes. The Sheriff at once phoned to Fowler's livery stable ordering several horses I saddled and organized a posse to pur sue the llceing prisoners, who, in the meantime, had been seen and recog nized by some buys going in a north westerly direction from thc city. Our young friend, Frank Hamlin, a 17-year old sou of Mr. J. C. Hamlin, joined the posse and was one of thc ti rsl, io go in the direction of the fleeing negroes, whom ho overtook in the swamp near the northern suburbs of the city. He asked the negroes to surrender, and they began to assault him with rocks, running up to his horse, which he fear ed they would take from him. At this juncture Frank, realizing that he was in danger of being killed, pulled his pistol and fired at Rice, who fell to the ground evidently fatally wounded. Tin-other negro ran uti', but was sonn captured by other members of the posse, who were informed by Frank ut his having shot Bice. The posse re turned with Frank to the swamp and found Rice dead. j I'iie body was brought lo the city and late Monda} afternoon Magistrate Giimer held an inquest. After hearing all the witnesses the jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. Rice had a bad reputation, and ii is thc gen eral opinion thal he would have Killed Frank and rode iii- hoi se oil'. Frank, who js ?in industrious and worth} young limn, regrets that he was forced to shoo! the negro, but every citizen thinks thal he could no! have done otherwise mulei the circumstances.
