rried to Break Jail.

John B. Keasler who is In Jail for a..
sault and battery OF u high and aggravated
nature, tried to break jail last week. He
was committed to jail two or three months
ago and ID waiting for the March court to
be tried: One Of the rooms in the Jail Is
not used as cell aud II was In this room
that he tried TO make his escape by cutting
hole through the floor and ceiling with q
knife. From the best evidence it seems
that he had done the most of his work at
night while the other prisoners were asleep.
He had cut through the floor and ceiling q
hole about twelve by twenty inches and
managed to keep it concealed by meaus Of
some old clothes and blankets. None Of
tho other prisoners knew OF 1t or suspected
that he was attempting or planning an es-
cape.
He took the plank that he cut out and
laid them over tho hole on the coiling.
thinking 1t would conceal the hole. The
first that was noticed OF it was by Mrs. j.
l.. o. Thompson, who lives In the jail.
Mrs. Thompson went into the room under
thetcell where the hvle had been cut and no.
ticed some chips, shavings and whitewash
on her sewing machine and some bedclothel
and studying as to where it could have
come from looked up at the ceiling and dis
covered the hole. This was about supper
time Saturday night. His plan was to 20
through this hole into the lower room then
out Of the window about midnight Satur
day night Keasler is the man who wrote
the article in last weeks SENTINEL. on
"Habits,' but the habit Of Jail breaking
was one that he failed to mention. Per-
haps that habit was acquired after he wrote
the piece. lie is said to have been a
preacher, in fact he said his habits had
driven him from the sacred desk to the iail.
we suggest to Mr.. Keasler to teach by pre-
ccpt as well as example, but VIC hope if he
trles to 90 this his precepts will not be like
his recent example.
Sheriff Richey put him in dungeon and
ne will be likely to stay there until court
for his naughty example.
