In relation to the late Jail escape OF q
negro who pounded the head of Jsiler
Clark and nearly "bustedn the reputation
OF TIE GAzETTE's Longyiew correspond

spondent made great mistake in accept
ing common report instead OF going to
headquarters and learning the facts.
Thinking Sheriff killingsworth was out OF
town because OF the report that Officer
Howard Booth had captured and returned
the oulldozlng black, and knowing Mr..
Clarke and wife were IN bed from. the ef-
fects Of the prisoners blows, were the rea-
sons he did not investigate more closely.
The truth Is, the negro wrenched the lid
from the privy vault, creeping into the
latter. He WAS missed by the tailor.
who, after looking In all the cells las he
supposedly, attempted to find his location.
While his back was turned, the negro
crept from his concealment and hid be-
hind the door, and as Clark stopped TO
examine the broken vault, the brute hit |
him with the lid knocking him senseless. |
His capture was made, though, and by |
the direct efforts OF Sheriff Killngsworth |
and Deputies Cox and Stuart. An escape |
ike this may be made from iail even /
more safe, II possible, than ours.
