livery werer the two negroes who recent
Nv assaulted and very nearly killed Mr.
I'D Bvrnes of this city, near Demopolis
few months ago. The oney reason that
Richardson, the negro who mas been SEN
fenced for the murder Of Dr. Fosque,
did not escape was because at the time
the others got out he was locked IN his
cell and could not get out.
The escape of the five prisoners from
the Linden jail is thought to be the rea.
son for fear of mob violence. 1t Is said
that since the jail delivery citizens o.
Iarengo county have expressed great
fear that Richardson would also escape
and would not pay the penalty for the
murder of DIR. Fosque. This fear seems
to have grown daily since the jail de-lV-
cry and as considerable hatred has keeh
evinced for the murderers ever since theF
20 brutally waylald and murdered Dr.
Fosque last fall.
One of them was sentenced to life Inn
prisonment and is now In the coal mines
working out his sentence. The negro
Robert Richardson and his brother, who
seem to have been the leaders In the
murder we're both sentenced to be nuns.
The attorney for Robert Richardson took
an appeal to the supreme court, and the
case is now pending BEFORE that court
and will very probably not be heard UNI
til next January His brother soon after
ne was sentenced stated that he woulf
never be hung from a gallows few
mornings afterwards he was found dead
in his cell. having torn UP his blanket
and hanged himself.
Was Seriously Injured.
What may prove to be a fatal accident
happened to Mr.. Allen Breithaupt yester
day at his mill near Ackerville. In Wilcox
county. Mr.. Breitaupt was in his mill,
when suddenly a big emery wheel bursted
all to pieces. One of the pieces flew up
and struck him over the left eye.
The injury received was serious and
the wound threw Mr.. Breitaupt into con
WILSON'S and 1t Is thought that he will
not live. There is little hope held ont
for his recovery by the physician who is
attending him. Mr.. Breitaupt is a promi-
nent citizen of Wilcox county, and is
well known in this city. and his many
friends trust that his wound will not
prove fatal
