escaped from the Sumter county jail,
where he was carried for safe keeping
pending a motion for a new trial, last
Wednesday.
Willis Yves free but short time, how
ever. before he was captured again.
A mnrderous assault was made upon
the iailer by the prisoners, and that
official may die from the wouadsae-

The following special gives the partic-

while talking to him was dealt a terrible
bIow upon the back of the head by
George McCook, who used an iron bar
two feet in length which had been

unconscious. ''Get bis pistol and keys,

way between the cells, out OF the cage
door left open by Macarthur and into the
biz room where the bleeding and uncon-
sciaus officer lay. Hearing the heavy
breathing OF the jailer, Homer Willis
called out to McCook ''I1it him again !;

Cook struck the PROSTATE form another
blow on the head with the iron bar, and

I There seems to be no question that the
plan to murder Jailer Macarthur and es-

Willis and that the two boys were ac-

opened the cage door he was purpOsely
