FREDERICKSBURG VA, August IA.
George Midgets, colored, in Jail here
condemned to be hanged for the muir
der of Charles Smith in Alexandria
last October, came near making his
escape. Midgets had cut hole in
two-iuch white oak board eighteen
inches wide and twenty-one inches long.
with which his cell is ceiled, and had
commenced to cut into the TWO and one
half-foot wall of the building. He
had concealed the worE with his
clothes and Blanket hung OH the
wall, and was not suspected. He would
have been free by Wednesday morning.
but the work was detected by Guy
Sergeant Chichester last night, and
Midgcts was removed to another cell
He flew into a violent temper when his
work was discovered. When scare
was made in his cell. 1t revealed a
hatchct and several sharp instruments,
which he, had used, concealed in the
bed. Midgets says a colored tramp,
who had been locked up for trespass-
ing. gave him the tools. He say
lie had two plans for escape one was
to kill the sergeant With the Ratchet;
but he decided to try digging through

| lieved, but it is thought that a con-
| federate passed the tools into the jail
