Escape Prison.

~ Init for the courage, grit and
,,ok Of Jsiler Ronny Brown, the
,,ho murder er Monroe Adams and
five other negro prisoners would have
left the barred castle.
Aterocious and murderous attack
90. made upon Jailer Brown,
But, vrenching himself from the
orasn Of the desperadoes, he finally
sroosoded in training his pistol upon
.bom and ordered the gang back to
their cells,
Taller Brown was inside the corri-
dor on the first floor, admitting the
napro bicycle thief, Charles Motley,
when Monroe Adams, the double muir
derer. and five other prisoners who
we're taking their weekly exercise IN
the corridor, jumped on him.
Monroe Adams clutched Mr.. Browns
throat with both hands, attempting to
choke him to death, while others as
saulted him.
It was a terrible struggle, one
white man against six desperate black
criminals,
Upon entering the jail M, Brown
locked the outside, or street door, be-
hind him, and put the key away. But
for this several of the gang, who laser
made bolt for the door, would have
escaped easily.
George Trotter, life sentence con-
Wet, but who was not of the party at
tempting to escape, was called upon
by Jailer Brown for help. And be it
said to the credit of Trotter he re-
sponded quickly and pulled one or
two negroes away from the PROSTATE
officer.
Thus freed, JaiIer Brown pulled his
gun and was master of the situation.
LeVeling it at the desperadoes, they
fellupon their knees and begged the
jailer not to shoot Mon Adams was
the first one to go sinking back to his
steel cell,
The others followed, whereupon
JaiIer Brown fred one shot in the air
as signal for help. This quickly
brought Sheriff Bell and others to the
rescue and the six demons were locked
up IN their cages secure and fast.
1t was a desperate and daring at
tempt, and but for the courage and
pluck Of Jailer Brown, with the aid of
George Trotter, Sumter might have
mad a Jail delivery of large proportions.
