DYE FYRSTO ESCAPED PRISONER
 RECAPTURED; CAUGHT ON TRAIN
SAYS THE JAIL IS NOT
 PROPERLY CONDUCTED

The following card, signed by MT. Alex. T. London, appeared in an afternoon pa- per yesterday:
 The Jail delivery which took place yes- terday morning again calls attention to the condition of the county jail and the manner in which it is conducted. Only a short while since Frank Miller, another member of this gang of burglars would have escaped but for the interference of a trustyi and in the case of Duncan it seems that the first information the au- thorities had that an escape. had been made came through a trusty. In neither case does there appear to have been a Watchman inside or outside of the jail
 It is currently reported and generally believed that the sheriff of Jefferson county receives compensation through fees and through the privilege of run ming the county jail as a boarding house, something like $lS.OO0 per year, and it would seqn to the unprejudiced citizen that this extravagant pay should at least give the sheriff means enough to pro- vide sufficient number of reliable watehmen to protect or guard the jail. but so long as the jail is run as a source Of profit solely for the sheriff, it Is more than is to be expected that he will spend any more money than in his judgment IS absolutely essential to take care of that institution.
 If the escape of Duncan shail be the means of calling attention to the outrag- eous fee system, whereby the sheriff is paid out of all proportion to the service rendered, and the county jail is convert ed into money making machine for his private purposes, 1t will not be wholly n loss to society, bad as 1t is. and I would S<<<se~sS->>e- >e-~->S->-~<%~~~%A morning by two men, one of whom he thought was VanHorn. At the time of the assault he was working on the night shift at the Ensleg furnaces. In the dim of the early morning he was attacked by the men, One he thought was VanHorn, but as he was supposed to be in jail he thought he must be mistaken. Later when he learned that Van1Iorn had es- caped he was satisfied he was one of the men, and thought he came to Ensley sim ply for the purpose of wrecking ven- geance on him for testifying against him. MT. Meek was unable to give an accurate description of the second man, but said he was of good size.

DYE DID
THE WORK

Chief Deputy Albert Stradford said that he had not had time to formulate theo- ries, but he thought Dye had done the work of saving the men out.
 "He is reported to be good locksmith. ' said MT. Stradford, "and think he prob ably got blank key and small file and made a key to fit the brake. The lock was uninjured and the proper key was found in the jailer's office where it should have been. Last night I checked up the jail to make sure that no other prisoner had escaped.
 'I have no idea how the saws got into the jail. They may have been handed to some prisoner in the court room and by him taken to jail. Everything that can be done to retake the men will be done. It would take at least 800 deputies to make a thorough search of the coun- ty. We have our whole force at work now and the police are helping us. think Duncan is probably with his wife wherever she is, and that the men have separated and gone In different directions. I have not devoted much time to Ind ing out how the men escaped, I know they have gone and l am directing all my energies to their recapture."
