 The death of the other negro was just as tragic. He and a negro mur- derer who was hung at Linden about month ago. one Sunday morning made a break for liberty when the jallor brought them their breakfast. A scuf- file ensued between the jailor and the two prisoners and deputy down stairs heard the struggle and rushed to the rescue and shot to death one of the murderers of Dr. Fosque and painfully | injured the other murderer.
 Robert Richardson was brought to Selma from Linden last July for safe keeping and with the exception of few days he has been confined. in the Dallas county jail ever since. About the middle of last July Governor Jelks received a .teleohone message from citizen of Linden informing him that a mob was being formed near there for the purpose of taking the prisoner from the jail that night and dealing out justice to him. When Governor Jelks learned this ne telegraphed Ma jor Atkins to rush the Selma cavalry | | prisoner.
 The cavalry troop went to Linden on a special train but when they ar rived there they found everything quiet and that night no mob visited the jail. | Before the cavalry reached Lindeh' Richardscn was taken from the jail by | a deputy and carried through the woods and the next morning he was put on the train with the militia and brought to Selma. After Rlchardscn's s brother had hung himself relatives of | the convicted man appealed the case | to the Supreme Court, which some months ago affirmed the verdict of | the Circuit Court of Marengo coun- ty The Supreme Court set June 29 as the day upon which Richardson was to be hung and few weeks ago he was carried to Linden and the sentence was passed upon him.
 | Since his confinement in the Dallas l county tail Richardson has given the officials of that institution trouble but once and that was a few weeks agC when he made a desperate attempt to
 escape. In some manner he managed
 to unfasten a piece of steel from the cell
