Will go to Columbus and secure
requisition papers before starting
back with his man.
"Do you have many murders
down in your localityg" was asked
the Major.
Eyes, but few legal hangings. 1t
is hard thing to convict one man
OF killing another down our way. and
especially to hang him. Ifa man is
caught stealing horse he is settled
Immediately, for they string him up
to the first tree. Our parish in on
the border with Texas, aud over in
the Lone State State they are par.
ticularly hard on horse-thieves.n
GLOW many murderers are confin.
ed in your Jail at present.
"Five. l hung one just two DAYS
before starting up here. 1t was the
second legal hanging ia the place
for % years, for the man had killed
another man.
Sheriff Wyche described his Jail.
which is queer institution compar.
ed with those in this part of the
country. The Jail is built of logs,
two stories high, with two rooms
about 20 feet square on each floor.
The foundation is of stone four feet
deep, and runs out at each side some
distance from the building. Stairs
are built on the outside, and a pris-
oner is taken up to the top of the
Jail and let down into one of the
rooms (cells) through trap-door.-
Several men are kept in one room.
Their food and clothing is let down
to them BY rope.
The floors are made of inch and
a half planks, and nailed down with
spikes and double, the layers run
ming in opposite directions. The
most interesting feature of the Jail
is the arrangement of the walls to
prevent prisoners from escaping
The walls are double, the space be.
tween them being nearly a foot. A
pole extends from the top down
through the space. If prisoner
succeeds in saving or cutting
through the inside wall he has got
to cut through the pole before reach-
ing the outside one. In this case
the pole drops down, thus giving the
thing away, as the end is almost
constantly watched from the top
1t is, therefore, impossible to saw or
cut out of the establishment. The
windows are small and covered with
heavy iron grating. The only way
the prisoners escape is by standing
on each others shoulders, and when
the trap-door is opened the top man
jumps out, overpowers the guard,
and then assists the others to get
out. This has been done on two oc-
casions. The men get hog, hominy,
molasses and other good things to
eat.
''The negroes fatten up on the
fare" says Major Wyche, "and they
say I always send my men to the
Penitentiary at Baton Rouge in
good condition. A man might as
we'll tackle a lion as one of those
big darkies when he makes break
for liberty"
Wilson's wife has engaged Judge
Moses Wilson to appear for her
husband before Judge Higley in the
Police Court today, when he will be
arraigned on the charge of being
fugitive from justice. Sheriff Wyche
went to Columbus last night, ex-
pecting to return to-day with requi.
sition papers.
Since the above was put in type,
Major Wyohe has returned from
Cincinnati without Wilson. Major
