Eddie Moody and Richard Morgan Doth
oolored), convicted CT felony and given
three years each in the penitentiary, es-
capped from the county jail last night,
along with two other negroes, one charged
with breaking into the Bank OF Crewe,
and the other confined for lunacy. The
prisoners climbed up the chimney untll
they had gotten above the cells. Here
they cut their way through the wall and
got into the space over the cells. Ii was
then easy work TO get down into the
passage-way and make an opening III
the outer wall Active steps for the APP
prehension OF the prisoners are being
taken by Sheriff Jones. but they have not
been located as yet. The jail had been
recently repaired. and was thought TO be
secure. Two women, serving terms for
misdemeanor. did not attempt 10 escape.
II IS strange coincidence that the
Sheriff dreamed last night that his prison
ers had escaped. and this morning when
he reached the jail they had gone.
