The Weston Independent says that:
A strange thing happened at Buckhannon
Sunday night. While the jailer was gone TO
church all his prisoners escaped, leaving the
doors locked just as the jaler had left them,
aud he had the keys in his pocket all the
time. The like has not before happened
since the days of some Of the sanity old
bible characters who were prosecuted and
imprisoned for righteousness sake, and it
could not happen outside of deeply pious
town like Buckhannon. The negro Carer,
who killed young Parker, was among the
number who escaped. The spirituality Of
the good people of Buckhannon evidently
yet abides, but the brand could be changed
to advantage when the next order is placed.
