The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-09-19

Uncle Sam went on the open mar
ket yesterday for the product of his
own workshops. The postoffice in
Paducah yesterday ran out of one
cent stamps and the clerks went to
the expediency of buying up stamps
in drug stores, book stores and other
places where they usually are on
sale. to sell again through the stamp
window. This was small relief, how
ever. and in another hour every in
quiry for one cent stamps was met
with the statement that there were
none for sale. Explaining the scar
city of the stamps, the clerks said
that they had put in their order at
the usual time, September 1, but up
until a week ago had not received
any answer from Washington. Then
they telegraphed an inquiry about
them but have no information as TO
when they will receive a consignment.

Charged With Neglect Of Duty
In Taking Prisoner Down
Street. Where Latter Got
Into Shooting Scrape. Using
Officers Own Pistol.

"Willful neglect of official duty" II,
the charge preferred against Murra,
(Bud) Howle, formerly turnkey at
the county Jail, in an indictment re-
turned by the grand jury this morn
With it came the indictment of jim
mic Taylor for malicious shooting,
both indictments growing out of the
same occurrence. Howle is not before
the court. but resides in the county
and can be brought before the court
at any time. Saturday night, Septem-
Der IA, Jimmie Taylor, a prisoner in
the county Jail, desired to purchase
trousers. He asked Turnkey Howle {,
take him down town. Howle, without
asking permission from Jailer James
Eaker, according to Jailer Eaker's
statement. took Taylor out and
about 1880 o'clock on Sunday
morning, while leaving a colored res
aturant at Eighth and Washington
streets, where the two had gone for
lunch. Taylor got into a difficulty
with BOYD Manuel. colored, resulting
in Manuel's being shot in the left
arm. Taylor carried wound in his
thigh, claiming that Manuel shot
him. The grand jury returned mot
true bill" against Manuel.
Taylor, it is said, secured his pis
tol from Turnkey Howie's hip pock-
let.
For taking Taylor out without au-
thority of Jailer Eaker, Howle is
charged with willful neglect OF Off
cial duty. For shooting Manuel, and
being the provoker, Taylor is charg-
ed with malicious shooting with in
tent to kill. The penalty in Howle's
case is fine of from 500 to $500.
L. l.. Jones, by remarkable coinei-
dence, who is foreman of the grand
jury which returned the Howle in
dictment. was Jailer James Eaker's
predecessor, and was himself fined
500 for permitting Willis Mount, a
prisoner charged with murder, to
handle keys to the Jail.
