What came near being a Jail delivery
occurred in Forsyth Monday when two
desperate characters being held for
trial at the present term of court con-
cieved the idea of freeing themselves.
In the cell corridor is placed a shelf
hung by chains on which to set a tray
of food, they pryed off one of the
chains and using it as wrench un-
screwed Il length of water pipe about
three feet long which they used as a
lever in prying off the casing arounl
the mechanism for shifting the cell
doors. 1t was evidently their inten.
ton to incarcerate the jailor when he
came with their food, rellev, him of his
keys and make their escape. It is just
possible that their plan would have
carried had it not been given away by
prisoner who had been released that
day. They were, however chucked in
to their cells and the opportunity
will not again present itself of disman-
Ting the Jail interior to get parapher-
MALTA wherewith to wreck vengeance
upon the unsuspectng jailor.
