again is at liberty and this time Under
Sheriff Hammond is wearing the sleepy
smile. At ten o'clock on Wednesday
morning Judge Dickerson called for the
prisoner, the papers in his case all be-
ing ready and Prosecuting Attorney
Stephan being on hand to handle the
matter. Hammond walked to the Jail
and in just about three minutes John
Kennedy was out and gone and no one
knew where. An Independent reporter
and Harry Singleton were standing in
the office of the clerk of the district
court and heard someone yelling in the
Jail. 1t was supposed that Kennedy
was crying out against being taken in
to court and for two minutes both stood
at one of the west windows of the court
house, listening to the cries. The yell
ing continuing it was decided to 60

SCISSOR Cockreham, Mr.. Singleton and
the Independent reporter rushed to the
front Of the Jail. All doors were wide
open into the corridors and fastening
inside Mr.. Hammond was found secure

minus prisoner. White with rage it
took but moment to explain the situ-
alton and Immediately a search was
started for the escaped lad. But all
day long and up to the time of going to
press, Kennedy has eluded the officers
and at this writing no one knows where
he can be found.
Hammond has been explaining ever
since how he came to be behind the
bars. He had entered the corridor and
unlocked the door Of the steel cage and
Kennedy had stepped out. After doing
so the prisoner said he wanted the din
ner bucket that was just inside the
cage door, in it being ring that he
wished to give to friend. Not think
ing. Mr.. Hammond stepped into the
cage and bang! went the door and with
its steel automatic lock the sheriff was
the prisoner and Kennedy was gone.
Running directly across the street
his line of travel took him into the
chico bushes behind Dodge Street and
although the bushes and barns were
carefully searched, no trace of the es-
capped could be found.
Sheriff Gibbs has offered 5000
reward for the capture of Kennedy and
offers Slo.00 for information leading to
his re-arrest. When last seen he wore
a black SLOUGH hat, blue overalls under
brown trousers, cowboy boots, no vest
and very dirty shirt He is tall, very
slim and has shock of light brown
hair. Rather stoop shouldered and has
rather blank expression on his face.
