Made a Rush on the Jailer and Choked
Him Down.
Wilmington. June 5.—Twelve of the
t wenty odd prisoners in the New Han-
ver county jail, seven of them under
final sentence, made their escape this
torning between 12 and 1 o’clock.
They are all colored and were confined
in a cage together.
One of the number feigned sickness,
and when Jailer Ed Capps, who had
been aroused from his sleep, went to
hand one of them a glass containing
medicine through the cell door, they
made a rush upon him anil choked him
down. The negroes then fled out
through the residential portion of the
building. Five other colored prisoners
in the same cell did not care to es
cape, or could not find their way out
in the darkness.
The senate seems to be of the opin
ion that a Monrooless Monroe doc
trine would just about fit the San Do

The boy went to execute the mis

He was conferring with the com
