Alleged Burglar Escapes.


 Walter Trammei imprisoned in the county Jail on charge of burglary. es- capeo last night by saving out the bars oi window in the second story and low erins himself to the ground with blan- ket. Sheriff Blackwell searched for him all last night. but was unable to find him. It IS supposed that Trammel escaped aDout o'clock. He had recently been in III health and was allowed the freedom or the outer section of the cells. Confined with him in his cell had been Will &. Briggs. awaiting trial on a charge of mur- der but Trammel quarreled with him yes terday morning, evidently for the purpose or making his escape alone, and Briggs was removed to another cell. Trammel. left alone, had access to the outer windows, the bars of which are made of softer material than the steel cells. He evidently had hacksaw or a similar instrument. for the knife he left behind him would not have sufficed to sever the bars.
 After he had sawed the bars out. Tram mel tied blanket to steam pipe near the window. lowered himself to within eight feet of the ground and then Jumped. The night was dark and rainy and his escape was easy.
 As soon as 1t was discovered by Jailer Smith that the prisoner had gotten away, Sheriff Blackwell was notified. and a posse searched for Trammel, but no trace of him has been found.
 Trammel had been in jail about six months. Before that time he was arrest ed in Selma on a charge of burglariously entering freight caboose in this city, and he was bound over to await the ac- tion of the grand jury. The grand jury did not return an indictment against him. and he was discharged from custody. But there was also made against him the ac- cusation that he entered the home of Dr. Donald in Marion Junction and stole money and other vaiuables. On this charge. he was again placed in the County jail and he was awaiting trial when he escaped.
