trial on charge Of larceny, and William
Montgomery, colored, charged with muir
der. s&sastr
Yeatman had only two days remaining
oil his sentence to serve. The colored man
was awaiting trial for killing James
Brown, race-track follower.
The prisoners effected their escape while
they had the liberty of the jailyard, which
is surrounded with a massive wall 25 feet
high. Tho prisoners took the wire from q
broom, tied brick to it and threw 1t over
the wall
On the other end of the wire was fasten.
cd q rope made by twisting together their
bed clothing. They managed to work
this through a crevlce on top Of the wall
caused by the mortar between the coping
stones falling out. After all were on top
OF the wall they descended by the same
rope. The escape was not discovered I'M
TIL the sheriff went to lock them up for
the night.
Montgomery Is about thirty-three years
OF age, very black, smooth face, about s
feet 8 inches high. He wore black stiff
hat and dark clothes.

But 1t Is believed that the Court will
not omit an Imprisonment sentence. Its

the men and to the jury which convicted
Brant he spoke nothing but condemnation
OF the crime and the determination to
punish the men to the full extent of the
law, should they be convicted.
Now that Brandt has been convicted
che court cannot conscentiously set aside

a The outlaw race tracks in Maryland says
ttshe N Y. Mail and Express, have brought
.s.bout one desirable result, viz. the weed
ing out Of Inferior horses from tho stables
hereabouts.
At this time last year o race horse
not quite up to the standard of the metro
politan tracks could not have been given
away. He had no chance of earning his
oats, as he was unfit for anything but
racing, he was yalueless.
This winter If the owner of a race stable
were to advertise q sale of thoroughbrcds
which had run on the local tracks last year
he would have brisk call from mon who
are racing at Barksdale, Iron Hill and
Singerly. There is nothing available now
which can be purchased for 800, That
seems TO be the limit of outlaw owners.
In the spring when trainers begin to
weed out again all the horses thus dispos-
ed OF will BIO taken to the Maryland
tracks.
The outlaw tracks arc furnishing steady
and remuneratiye employment for large
number of men. The racing cannot DO
called sport. 1t is nothing more or less
than ahuge gambling game, which the
law cannot reach at present.
