of the jailer. fired couple of guns. He
now occupies a cell, charged with having
aided them to escape, though the truth
of the matter is not yet determined.
Adams is charged with the murder of
1881, and has been four times tried for
the onenSe, being twice convicted and
twice the subject of a mistrial. The
judgments of the courts convicting him
were reversed by the supreme court of
the state for legal errors.

accessory before the fact, but has never
been put on trial.
Virgins is indicted for a murder com
mitted at Columbia City, this county
last year.
