ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED.
?lim Monroe Captured by Wcilgctield
Officer Alter Spirited Fight and
Brought to Prison.
Columbia, June 22.?penitentiary
Officials wer?- astonished yesterday
morning when a letter was opened and
a request was read from T. Frank
Griffith, escaped convict. Griffith,
with two other prisoners, escaped
from the prison last Tuesday morn?
ing and yesterday morning Griffith
asked that his valise he sent to a cer?
tain point for his benefit.
There is no doubt but that the com?
munication was sent by the missing
convict, according to the prison offi
eials, as the handwriting was recog?
nized. The request of the escaped
convict is entirely new In the history
Of prison affairs in South Carolina.
Heretofore a fugitive has l>cen con?
tent with his freedom, but a petition
for wearing apparel and traveling ac
commodatlons is unheard of. The of?
ficials will proceed in their own way.
Jim Monroe, the negro, is the first
fugitive to report for duty at the pris
son. 11?' was captured at Wedgefield
yesterday morning by Officer Nortis
after a spirited fight. Monroe dew
mto a rags when the officer approach*
ed and knocked him down. He snatch?
ed the officer's revolver and fired three
hots while running away. The bul?
lets went wild and Noiris secured as?
sistance. Monroe had taken refuge
in a negro's home and after the
house was surrounded the convict was
taken without further trouble. He
was brought to the prison early yes?
terday afternoon and is again secure
in the care of the State. Monroe is
from Dillon County and is serving a
term for larceny. He is about 27
.ears old.
Nothing has been heard from Clar
?nce Davis, who went off with Grlf
llth and Monroe. He ii from Charles
ton county. The three prisoners
made their daylight break from the
ommlssary building last Tuesday
u torntng.
Richard Jackson, a long term pris?
oner at the state penitentiary, lost his
life mar Hagood yesterday while
making a break for liberty. The ne?
gro was at work around the Stale
farm in Bumter county and ma?le a
lash for freedom. Guard izes opened
ire on the fleeing convict and a bul
et brought him to the ground. The
?n?l missile strm k a vital spot and
he negro expired in a few minutes,
A. K. Banders, superintendent of the
Itate prison, was notified yesterday
Homing and he immediately directed
hat the coroner of Bumter county be
lotitled.
