ESCAPED CRIMINALS
PLAY ROLE OF TRACY
BRUNSWICK NEGROES GO NEAR
FREEDMAN ) REST AS DES-
PERADoES.

George Howard and Ed Frazier
both colored, who escaped from the
city jail last week, an account Of
which appeared in The News at the
time, have since been in the vicinity
of Freedman's Rest, and have the
negroes of tnat settlement frightened
to death.
These two negroes, after their es-
cape, went out to Freedman's Rest,
and proceeded to take charge" ="
They entered several houses in the
Tracy fashion, and demanded some
thing to eat of the negro women, and
would then lounge around the house
for an hour or two, and go over to
the next mouse where they rendered
the same program.
Finally they found an unoccupied
house, ana made their home there,
living off theaother negroes of the set
tlement The people in the vicinity be-
came greatly alarmed over the des-
perators and at night would bar their
houses for fear the escaped criminals
would enter and take everything
away.
The matter was reported to officers
in the city Thursday and Deputy
Sheriff Pyles and officer Luther Lamb
went out to the place before daylight
yesterday morning to cature the two
negroes, but they had been frighten-
ed away before the arrival OF the of
ficers.
On the door of the shanty occupied
by the two, tue negroes Of the set
tlement had posted notice, telling
them that "tney had best leave the
place, or some blood would sure be
spilled" The two negroes evident
ly thought it was dangerous to remain
there, and left for other parts.
The officers, however, think they
know where the desperators are, and
another attempt will be made to cap
ture them.
