Another Jail Delivery.

Another jail Delivery.
On Monday night just after dark
the following prisoners made theii
escape from the Jail at Pamela: VIM
field Baker, Taylor Hunt, both on
charge of murder, and Peter Brown
(colored) on charge Burglary, by
filing the bar irons of the windows
and letting themselves down to the
grond by shawls. The gate to the
enclosure was not locked, and has
not been for some time on account
of a lost key and they made their
escape through the picket enclosure
by way of the gate passing through
the back yard of the Jail. The
night was very dark and stormy,
well chosen for the escape. The
Sheriff had been in the habit Of
giving the prisoners the run of the
room outside o. the iron cages dur
ing the day time, and at night lock-
ing them up in the iron cage, when
all possible chance of escape if any
vigi ance at all was used, was cut Oft,
but the prisoners made their escape
before the Sheriff left his office in
the court house building, and when
he went up to the room to cast
them in the cages he found the birds
had flown.
GcorG Mckinney was also con
fined in the same room on charge
of lunacy and the Sheriff found
him out in the garden looking at
the greens and when 0zanne ask
ed him what he meant, he SAID he
wanted to see how soon they would
have salad ready for dinner, and he
also stated, that he had done moth
ing to run away for and that he was
not going to leave.
The prisoners were furnished files
from some one outside and they
chose the most opportune time to
effect an escape.
The Windows and every part of a
jail should be examined by the officer
every morning and night carefully
and then we would not have so many
escapes. This is the third or fourth
time in the last eighteen months or
two years that the jail has been emp
tied Of the prisoners by escaping,
and it seems of no use to arrest a
criminal, as he will be certain to ef-
feet his escape before trial.
The Jail is very insecure unless
prisoners are keep in the cages at
all times and that would be to great
a hardship, SO that we hope that
the new Jail that is to be erect
ed will not be so built as to be q per.
feet sham, as the present one.
