RUDE GAINS HIS FREEDOM
He is the Prisoner Who Wanted TO be
in Preference to the Local Jail.

After spending about five month in
the New Hanover Jail, Victor RUDE, he
sailor Of the revenue cutter Seminole.
was on yesterday released from jail.
1t Will be remembered that an order
was made by Judge Purnell several
DAYS ago for his release on accoun Of
i'll health. 1t is understood that Rube
has been in a health for III" ~a~i
few months.
RUDE was placed in Jail during the
spring upon the charge Of refusing to
obey the orders Of the officers on the
Seminole when ordered 10 help throw
overheard the cargo Of the steamer
Myrtle Tunnel which went aground
on the Frying Pan shoals last spring.
He was charged with mutlny but when
tried was found guilty only Of gross
diSobedience to orders and was Senten-
ced TO six months in the county jail
and he seemed to look with horror upon
having TO return TO the jail. He pet-
toned the judge to sentence him TO
the Atlanta p~enitenuorE rather than
To send him TO six months in the New
Hanover Jail. and the sentence really
did not mean six months for the time
he had already been in Jail vas TO
count and it would have only been
between four and five months The
minimum sentence in the federal Dris-
ons is one year but Rube seemed 10
prefer that 10 only q few months in
the local jail. Not a great deal Of
credence was placed in what RUDE

WRIGHTSVILLE PARTY IN WRECK
SeabOard Train Wrecked as it Was

Passengers who arrived in the city

told of accidents that the SeabOard had
been having around Atlanta. The At
lanta party should have arrived here
yesterday at l o'clock but owing TO
their train being wrecked as it was
leaving Atlanta they were delayed.
The train from Atlanta to Hamlet
comes from Birmingham and it seems
that on Wednesday a freight was
wrecked 10 the south of Atlanta and
when the wrecking train was sent out
to clear the track it turned over. The
result was the passenger train was very
late arriving. When it did start out
of Atlanta it was destined to be once
more delayed and this time the passen-
ger train was one of the trains wreck
ed. 1t collided with a freight train as
it was leaving the yards n all the
cars but the Pullman were SO badly
damaged that they had to be left IN
Atlanta and Il new train made up. NO
one was killed, but the tlagman on the
freight that ran into the passenger
train was badly injured. He was sent
to the hospital in Atlanta One OF the

interest both here in their home city
and turnout the country by the an
nouncement of their intention to return
to Nicaragua from which country 1t
will be remembered they were exiled
In returning the boys put their lives
in jeopardy and while the United
States government will protect them as
much as possible the venture will be
very unsafe one. The case In which
the Albers We're involved was an in
ternational one They were driven from
Nicaragua in order to escape impris-
onment, caused mostly by the influence
of the Standard Oil Company. The
boys We're arrested in Nicaragua and
after farcia trial were sentenced to
three years in prison.
Thru the bravery of Mrs William
Albers. her husband was freed The
trial of Albers was branded at the time
as a travesty on justice. The Nicara-

pardon him, but he was compelled to
leave the country. The two boys will!
