in the Kenton riot in which a man was
killed and Fred ShOckley professional
Jail breaker attempted to escape from
the Kent County Jail Sunday morning.
Barrett and Clarke succeeded, but
Shockley was overpowered after he
had reached the jail yard. The at
tempt to escape was made at 10 o'clock,
after students of the Wilmington Con-
ference Academy had held services in
the Jail and when they were about to
depart. The turnkey had opened the
large iron door separating the corri idor
of the Jail from the sheriff's residence,
in order to permit the students to pass
out, when the three negroes, who had
assembled with other prisoners in the
corridor, where the services were held,
made dash for liberty, The turnkey
and the students grappled with the
negroes, but desisted when Barrett
drew a razor. The trio ran through
the sheriff's residence and entered the
Jail yard. when Sheriff Melvin, who
had seized a revolver, fred at them.
Shots struck Shockley and Barrett
and the former fell and was recsptured
but Barrett was less seriously
wounded, and he and Clarke escaped
Shockley's injuries are not likely tt
prove fatal.
