Ia was rammed thirty miles off Chat

JAILER L. l. JONES
HAS BEEN INDICTED
Charged With Neglecting His
Duty as Jailer Of County.
Allowing willis Mount 10 Hun ut
Large Said 10 Have Caus-
ed Il.
MOUNT OFTEN IN FULL CHARGE

An indictment was returned by
the grand jury yesterday afternoon
when a batch of eighteen was turned
INTO court, against Jailer Fayette
Jones. charging wilful neglect of his
duties as jailer of McCracken county.
The Indictment, II is understood,
resulted from HIS having practically
given Willis Mount his freedom for
several months past. Mount has
never evinced the slightest desire to
escape, and although at the last trial
OF his case for Killing Willis Nutty
he was given twenty-one years, la
ter being granted a new trial on APP
peal, he has gone about the jail and
oouI thouse yard for months without
ever violating the confidence placed
In him. In fact, he has practically
been turnkey at the county Jail since
the deputy jailer was dispensed with
by Jailer Jones several months ago.
Mount has not only been carrying
the keys OF the Jail, but has also fire.
quently been In sole charge during
the absence OF Jailer Jones. During
the summer when the court house
was Icing cleaned and put In SHAPE
Mount supervised the work and had
charge OF the men who were washing
the walls. No one would have sus-
pected that he was under indictment
for wilful murder and not permit
led TO give bond,
II has been remarked by many for
several weeks that Mount was proba !.
bly, the only prisoner In the United
States. indicted for murder and
awaiting trial for his life, who was
turnkey at the jail In which he was
supposed 10. be confined, and who
frequently had sole charge of II and
all the prisoners therein.
II Is not known who brought the
matter before the grand jury. Being
IN full view OF the Jail. where they
could see Mount in charge while
Jaile. Jones was over at circuit court
with prisoners, II is probable the ju.
rors simply took up the matter them
selves without dts being brought to
their attention. .a-' 'ri'-ls e
A grand juror this afternoon stat
ed that some OF the evidence before
the Jury was that Mount, while IN
charge OF the Jail. sent two petty
larceny prisoners out in the jail yard
TO clean buggy or curry horse
when thunder storm came up.
While the storm was raging the pris-
oners scaled the walls and escaped.
being still at large. Jailer Jones II
Is said, was not at the jail at the
time, but had left Mount In charge
The Juror further stated that II
was the intention of the grand jury
to have Mount himself before the
Jury but that on account of rushing
business. he was not summoned. suf-
ficient evidence having been secured
on which TO base an indictment.
At last accounts Jailer Jones had
not been taken before Judge Reed on
a bench warrant and his case sci, and
Mount was still enjoying his liberty
at the Jail.
