Davis to escape from the Lafayette county
Jail. In this city, by Stacking the limestone
walls Of toe jail. In our account Of this we
stated that MOrrey and Davis might rs well
lay aside all hopes OF escaping in such man

different and easier way OF escape.
In the upper part OF the Jail, IN the south
cell, were confined seven prisoners, W. Il.
Davis aud X. Il. Morrey. charged with having
robbed the store OF j. w. Harrison Il Co., at

which was several times every day, she wOult
make l,ips to the jail to see Davis, who she
claims ia her husband. and her requests to SCI
him were always granted by Tailor Wade, whit

dealing and watched her very closely, ant
only allowing her to see him and talk to hin
