THEY WERE ALMOST OUT Prisoners Thrasher and 0'Don- nel Try to Leave Jail THROUGH A REAR WINDOW From Which Bar Had Been Taken, but thu
 Escape Was 0pportunely
 Prevented

Newburn Thrasher and Bob ODonnell had all but effected an escape yesterday afternoon from the county jail when word from one Of the prisoners to the jailer stopped their attempt The jail windows are barred with iron rods, the lower windows having double rods and the upper windows single rods. In the rear wall of the prison a bar had been sawed out of one of the upper windows. It was a neat piece of work, and if it had not been discovered just in the nick of time, it is said, Thrasher and O'Don- nell would have let themselves out. Sheriff Morrow says that the soft iron bars are of little service since an inn provised saw will easily cut through them, and unless the county commission CTS put steel bars to the windows Sherlii Morrow says he will hereafter keep the prisoners locked in their cells. This, It is said, proves injurious to the health oi the jail inmates. Who did the saving in this instance is not definitely known although Thrasher and O'Donnell Wers found crouching near the window. O'Donnel says the escape was planned by Jim Thomas and Coly Doughdrell, the latter of whom is being held on charge of murder but O'DonnelPs story IS not believed by the jail officers
 Newborn Thrasher is in the Jefferson county jail for safe keeping, where there is charge against him for the alleged murded of a nc&ro. He is a cousin to Bart Thrasher, the notorious desperado, who is now at large in the wilds of Blbb after a bold but successful escape from Pratt mines.
 ODonnell is held on a charge of bur glary and grand larceny. Both men are considered very bad characters and the iau Wardens would have regretted their departure without due process of law.
 ODonnelPs case was called yesterday in the criminal court, but it was continu- ed, and he was sent back to jail, from which, it is said, he afterwards tried to leave by the window.

A Brutal Negro Gets Q Life Sentence for His
 Deed.


 Selma. Feb. 21.-Special )-The trial of Joe Davis, the negro whose brutal as- sault upon little Jerome Simons last Sep tember startled this entire section, was concluded last night and the jury brought in verdict of guilty, with lie imprisonment.
 Davis has at different times in his short life of IS years shown the most brutal propensities and was looked upon by those who knew him as dangerous character. When he was 12 years of age a 4-year-old negro child disappeared. It was last seen with him and suspicion has always been entertained that he killed it and concealed it's body.
 The circumstances of the crime for which Davis will serve out his life for the state are briefly as follows:
 Jerome Simon, 10 years of age, was sent out by his mother, Mrs. J. Simon. who runs store on North street, to buy eggs. It was his custom to go out the Summerfield road and buy from wagons as they passed along the road, and also to buy from the farm houses near the road.
 While walking along the road, just be- yond Keeman's mill, on the day of the crime Joe Davis met the child and as- pertaining that he had some money en- ticed him into the woods under the pre- tence of carrying him to farm house where he could buy some eggs he carried the child down the spring branch just north of the Keenan home stead Nearing the creek he told the boy they were nearing the house and advised him to pick up a stick to keep off the dogs. Both secured large sticks and pro- ceeded on down the branch, wading m the water. Just before reaching the creek the negro dealt the child terrible blow from behind, knocking him down in the water He scrambled to his feet and begged for his life. He was told to give up his money and handed over SD cents. all he had. The negro then told him that he would kill him anyhow, and again as- saulted him with the stick. The negro stood on a asoapstone bank just above the boy, who was trembling in the water be- low and as fast as the little fellow would scramble to his feet he was crushed down again by murderous blows from the club. His skull was laid bare in seven places, and his hands, which were thrown up to
