NEWPORT NEWS. Va. Dec. GA jail do

hero at about 6 o'clock this evening. Six negroes.
all serving sentences ranging in time from six
to twelve months for felonies. are at large.
When Jailer Curtis went to tho cage at q little
after 6 o'clock with their supper no discovered
that instead of eight guests he had only q pair.
Those who escaped were Tom johnson, VIII.
ris. and Brant Williams. During the afternoon,
with the aid of a chisel, O knife. and a file which
had been smuggled In TO them. the men dug q
hole through a double brick wall large enough
to admit them to the jail yard. Then a blanket
was thrown over the high wall and the escape
was comparatively easy.
Apeculiar coincidence Is the fact that a special
election was held In tho city to-day to see If the
Freeholders would vote to issue bonds, to the
amount Of $50. 900 for tho purpose of building Q
new Jail. The project narrowly escaped defeat.
Tho jail now in use Is an old one. long sine
declared unfit for use. and escapes have been
frequent.

carry on his thefts year after year without de-
lection.

father was former Alderman Charles Brose.
