their gang are at the wOrkhouse and
they are waiting until he or they are
released. Then the vicinity will moi

NBGRO SUSPECT
BECOMEN ANGRY
Waite SiDple Tries to Clear
Out Georgetown Jail
During Mad Spell
sneclal to the Evening Journal.


Georgetown, July 11.-William
Waite. the crazy negro, who is in the
Sussex county Jail, charged with the
murder of Aida Collins, got on one Of
his tantrums this morning and started
in to clean out the whole Jail.
He began his operations early this
morning by tying up an old handker-
chief full of chips and telling his fell
low prisoners that he had packed his
grip and was ready to say goodbye
now. as he had decided to leave the jail
for good. When one Of the prisoners,
by the name of Cook. told him that he
could not get out Waite became en-
ragged and struck Cook terrific blow
dazing him. The other prisoners got
hold of Waite and forced him into the
iron clad cell, at the same time sending
for the sheriff. The sheriff being alb
sent, his deputy, ]. Bayard Otwen, was
soon on the scene. Otwell told Waite
that he would have to lock him UP, but
Waite refused to be locked up, and in
formed the deputy that he was not go
ing to any cell now, OF at any time.
Otwell fearing trouble went out into
the Jail yard in order to remove the ak
with which the prisoners had been cut
ting wood. AS he was stopping to
pick up the AK, Waite, who is a power
full negro, grabbed him from behind,
without any warning, and made an at
tempt to jab him with sharp stick Of
wood which he had picked up nearby
Just at this instance, Clerk of the
Peace James II. Wright appeared at
the Jail door, and realizing the danger
in which the deputy was placed, rushed
into the Jail yard and with the assist
ance of James Baker, the warden, and
the other prisoners, from whom Waite
had escaped, but who had now come
up, succeeded in breaking Waite's griI
and freeing Otwell. Before this coulC
be done, however, the other negro pris.
oners found it necessary to deal a quicl
succession Of fist blows, which seemed
to have about the same effect on Waite
as they would have had on a rubber
man.
Finally, by the sheer force of mum
lbers. Waite was thrown to the ground
land a pair of hand cuffs were snapped
on him. Even thus handicapped, it re
quired thirteen burly negroes to ge
him TO his cell. By this time Wait
twas as bloody as a butchered hog. H,
Twill not be given the liberty Of the jai
yard any more. Deputy Sheriff Otwel
considers himself very lucky to hav,
escaped from his perlious position will
life and limb. There is no doubt bu
what the negro would have killed OF
we'll had help not come just when i
did. 1t was learned from the Jail au
thorities that Waite is subject to thes
homicidal spells, and when he is in on
of them he seems to have a burning de
sire to kill anybody and everybody tha
crosses his path.
), He had a like spell in Denton Jail
land nearly killed one Of the wardens
n He viii be kept in his cell while h
\ remains in Georgetown.
