During the prevalence of yel>
low fever in this town in 1878, it
will he remembered that two priS
oners i'll the parish Jail opened "a
hole for the pui pose,of escaping.
By some miScal:ulatiOn the small
er man, named John johnson,
passed through safely, but the
larger one stuck in the hole and
was found dangling there the
next morning and re.incarcerated,
johnson, a mulatto man, escaped
however. Last week as A. Roger,
deputy sheriff was stopping in
Wellington Hcbert's store, ten
miles below Thibodaux, Mr.. John
johnson came walking in large
as life and twice as natural, whom
Roger captured without any pre-
liminary ceremony and brought
in to the parish prison. He is
accused OF highway robbery on
the stand and deliver principle.
1t is not likely that johnson will
not find another hole in the pris
on walls big enough for him to
slip through.
