A Rigg ON the Sheriff.

From the Parkersburg Sentinel
! win Rigg, whom the Governor
pardoned on Saturday, was very pop
uiar man in Fayette county, and the
people were inclined to believe that
his killing of Morris, the supposed par
amour of Riggs wife, was justifiable.
While awaiting his second trial he
escaped from jail the day before
Christmas and though the officers
searched the county thoroughly no
trace was found of him, and his friends
began to hope that be had gotten
away. But on Christmas afternoon
he returned to the jail and asked to
be locked up again. He told the
sheriff that he had not intended TO
run away but had simply left the jail
to fill an engagement, which he had
made some months before, TO play the
fiddle at Christmas eve dance at the
home of an acquaintance. He had
been in the habit each year of joining
in these holiday festivities and did
not want to miss this one. As soon
as the dance was over he returned to
the jail to await his trial for murder.
