Eight Prisoners Make Their Escape from
the Norfolk County Jail.
CUT THROUGH THE STEEL WINDOW BARS


Last night about $3.50 o'clock stoves
were sent 10 the county jail and were
put up. FIRES We're made in them and
the prisoners were allowed to go out in
the hall to warm themselves before
being locked up. About 6:15 o'clock Mis-.
Codd, the jailer's wife heard some one
cry, Come out! Come, for Gods sake |!
All your men are leaving the Jail" She
and Mr.. Butler both ran In there and
found that some of the men had sue
ceeded in cutting the bars off the rear
window In the annex on the lower floor,
ana had taken out two panes of glass,
ana nine of them had passed out when
they came ill., One OF the prisoners who
made an cutlery was knocked down and
nearly all his clothes were torn off him.
among those who made their escape
were:
George BroHton, who was sentenced
at this term of court 10 three years in
the pcnitentia.y for shooting n man.
John Smith, who got two years for
HOUSEKEEPING.
Charles Williams, alias Spitnre, under
one years jail sentence
Andrew Banks, whose term would ex-
pire February 13, and who would then
be sent to Newport News to answer n
charge of housebrcak.ng
John Jackson, who was awaiting trial
in court for stealing $19
Henderson Barry, who was serving a
term Of Six months.
Henry Askew, who was waiting trial
for stealing a horse and buggy.
Peter Stewart, sentenced 10 one year
in jail for larceny.
All the special police of the county are
on their tracks. The police of the city
are on the look out for them. Tele-
grams have been sent to Suffolk and
other places.
The annex is n two story building
with brick walls, steel bars all around
them, and bars on both the inside and
outside the windows. How thEse men
succeeded in cutting them In two is a
mystery. None or the men In Jail will
admit that they know anything about
the cutting out.
