Makes Bold Escape.1 Spartanburg, October 26:?Will1 ; Hughes, sentenced a little more than a year ago to life imprisonment for I the murder of Gofer Cox near Tucapau, in this county, this afternoon j killed Robert Stephens, the guard in I charge of the gang on which he was a prisoner, with a pick, robbed him j of his two pistols and $40 in cash and made his escape. To-night the officers of the county and many deputies armed with shotguns are scouring the county in automobiles for the fugitive. Stephens had been warned that Hughes was plotting to kill him and make his escape, but apparently he had paid little attention to the warning. The gang was at work on the road south of the city, near Arkwright, when Hughes saw his chance, and, seizing a pick, landed a terrific blow on Stephens' head. The guard dropped in his tracks and Hughes took his pistols and, going through the pockets of his clothes, took what money he had on his person. The other prisoners were panic-stricken and made no effort either to escape or to rush to the guard's aid. After arming himself Hughes compelled a negro at the point of a gun to break the chains that bound his feet, and later exchanged clothes with a negro whom he met on the highway. Stephens, the guard, was taken to the city hospital, but died in a few hours, without regaining consciousness. Hrs home is at Roebuck, in this county. The murder for which Hughes was convicted was one of the most r*r>M-hlnnrlpfi crimps pvpr committed in the county. It was stated at the trial that he killed Cox while he stood with his hands up, begging that his life be spared. A negro woman was an accomplice in the crime and was tried with Hughes,' She, too, was given a life sentence and is now in the penitentiary. Hughes had never been taken to the penitentiary, but was allowed to serve on the county chaingang. Hughes is the son of a farmer re-( siding near Reidsville, in this county. is about 30 years of age, heavy set and has a heavy face, with ruddy complexion. Ollicers have been sent by automobile to every section of the county, heavily armed, and are prepared for trouble if Hughes is overtaken.
