READY TO ESCAPE
But THE DEPUTY JAILER SAN
THE SAWED BARS.
j. ID. Holden, Alleged Mule Thief,
Was About Ready To Say
Adieu.

Mayfeld, Ky, Jan. "a Jail de-
livery was prevented Sunday by Dep
uty Jailer Ed Hamlet. j. b. Holden.
a prisoner Charged with mule steal
ing, asked for hair cut and he was
taken to the rock" in the corridor,
where the work was done.
While Holden was absent the Off
Ger noticed small black streak on
one of the large upright bars of his
cell. Taking his knife he began
scratching at the mark, and shoe
backing began to come out of a
small cut in the bar. After all the
filling had been removed 1t was found
that the bar had been sawed nearly
in two. Upon further examination
the deputy found another bar cut
about half in two. This cut was also
filled with backing.
The officer then went into Holden's
cell and searched for the instrument
that did the work, and in the cotton
filling of a quilt found a small steel
saw. Another piece of steel, out of
which saw could have been made
was also found.
Holden was very indignant when
Mr.. Hamlet told him to occupy
different cell and at first refused to
move.
Holden is about 40 years of age
and was brought here last summer
and indicted at the last term of the
circuit court on the charge of steal
ing a mule from T. G. Feezor and
saddle from Prof. John Draffen, of
Symsonia. Holden was arrested AT
Lexington, Tenn.

In the past ten years, Gloucester county
has received NOT less than $50, 900 from the
State for the care Of insane persons in IFS
asylum. Not more than S., 600 of this sum
has been expended for the maintenance Of
these insane, hence the county has made a
direct profit Of at least $4,000, which if
put into construction Of proper building
would have relieved the county from the
