ly planned escape was that which oc
lurred between midnight Wednesday

lour negroes who owere awaiting trial
it the approaching term of court es
:aped from the county jail.
Those who escaped were Robert
lary, charged with disposing of -pro
)erty under mortgage; John Hill,
?barged with raipe; Lee Johnson,
)urglary and larceny; and Collie
fatts, assault and 'attery with intent
,o kill. The latter, Collie Watts, it
vill be recalled was arrested in Wash
ngton and brought to the jail here
tfter litigation -with the Washington
tuthorities 'which lasted a year.
The prisoners Who were locked in
t cell made their escape good by heat
ng a poker and fashioning it like a
vrench to fit the bolts of their cell.
ffith this they removed the bolts from
hc loor. They left the jali from or ,
f the 'windows after removing sonie
ricks that held the iron bars in posi

the others he claimed that he knew
nothing about their plans and that hc
did not know where they had gone.
