The man had served a few weeks before his escape. Shackles were on his legs, but as he was in poor health he was allowed certain privileges. In this way he was able to get out of sight without suspicion. The country was pretty thoroughly searched when his escape was made known but he was not found. CHURCH INOTES METHODIST PROTESTANT John.
