A Leap for Liberty.

Gus Starnes, Il transfer guard of
the Georgia penitentiary boarded The
north. bound Central train at Millep.
Ca, having reached that point via a
branch road. He got in the second
class coach and there found Detective
Basch, of the city force of Savannah.
The forest City detective had IN
charge the famous express robber.
Symonds, who escaped from the men
some time ago and was recaptured by
Detective Basch. The detective was
ON his way TO the convict camp with
his man to claim his reward,
Detective Basch joined Mr.. Starnes
about the middle OF the car, leaving
his prisoner occupying the last seat on
the left side of the coach. He was
handcuffed and was secure. Just
after passing Gordon, Symonds asked
Basch TO unfasten the handouts while
he went into the toilet. The detec.
tive complied and Symonds walked to
the door.
With sud len leap he went through the
door, landing on the platform, and the
next moment had swung himself from
the train which was going at the rate
of forty miles an hour. As quick al
possible the train was stopped and
backed to the spot where Symonds
had disembarked.
The express robber had not tarried
long in that vicinity, however. The
moment he landed he made of for the
woods and by the time the train re-
turned he was safely at liberty, The
search was regarded as hopeless and
he officer came on as far as Macon.

Vote of Three TO One. *
The board of police commissioners held
an executive session at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon to consider the evidence in the
I case against Patrolmnn George r. Thomas.
| After an hours deliberation Thomas was
declared guilty and dismissed from the
force. 1t is understood that all four of
the commissioners agreed thatothe accused
was guilty but Commissioners Gross argued
that in view of the previnus good record
of Officer Thomas a lighter penalty than
dismissal should be inflicted. Messrs
Goodrich, Kelley and Mcdonald voted for
dismissal on the ground that the magni-
tude of the offense allowed of no half way
measures. Thomas was notified of the
action of the board when he reported for
duty at $50 last night. He was appointed
patrolman on May II, 1887.
