Last week Sheriff Davernort bacamo

F; Last week Sheriff Davenport became
suspicious that there was plot among the
prisoners to escape. This suspicion grew
out OF their peculiar conduct. he sat up
nearly all Wednesday night watching
them. He heard a saving noise and slips
ped up The inside stairway, but the STAIR
way has weak places in it and when he
plased his foot on it, it made q little noise.
Immediately the saving noise stopped
He watched them the balance of the night,
to see that they did not escape. Next day
Mr Davenport went to the cells in which
are confined Cox, Mullins, Moore and
Talent, and the first thing that he noticed
was that the staple Of the inside lock of the
small door had been sawed off and the
lsck gone. In the cell where some negroes
were confined the staple was sawed off and
the lock gone. One tap oE one of the
windows was also sawed in twain. A
search was made but there was nothing
found. Inc second search was made by
Deputy Sheriff Bishop and Mr.. Crockett
and tor long time 1t looked as if their
efforts to find the saws would be defeated,
but finally behind picture three saws
were found concealed. 1t is learned that
the frame and saws had been smuggle1
into the Jail by revenue prisoner named
Ferguson, who had yard privileges. He
lett on Wednesday and the work to escape
commenced Immediately on his departure.
A negro prisoner had been lett in the Jail
corridor to keep up the fires. When the
prisoners thought they were discovered on
Wednesday, they had the negro to pitch
the saw frame out through the bars into
the street, but the saws were retained. A
negro man found the frame and it was re-
turned to the Sheriff The frame is nickle>
plated and the saws are of the best quality
OF steel and capable of cutting through a
| bar oil iron in a very short while. The
work of escape had progressed to such an
extent, that the prisoners would have been
out in short while if they had not been
detected in their efforts Mr.. Byron
Green, son~in>law of Cox, was ARRESTED on
the charge of furnishing the saws and pro
curing their delivery by Joseph Ferguson
the revenue prisoner. He las tried before
Judge Alexander and required to give
bond of 800. Sheriff Davenport left
