GUARDS GIVE A SMOKER

Tuscaloosa, July s.-(special) )-There was a Jail delivery here yesterday even Ing late, whereby three prisoners made their escape and are still at large. Just when the prisoners succeeded in getting out of the jail is not known, but it was discovered that they were missing about o'clock. Those escaping were Jim Hughes, convicted of assault with intent to murder, Alex Duncan, waiting the action of the grand jury, charged with stealing; and one Bagwell, indictment for grand larceny against him.
 It was very evident that the prisoners had received some outside help, as 1t would have been impossible for them to have affected the opening they did In the jail without some instruments with which to work
 The side of the window facing had been cut for about two feet, and then several brick removed. which made an opening just about large enough for mans body to pass through. There had been placed in front of this, screening 1t from view of the sheriff's office and the back yard of the courthouse, two blankets, hung upon a broom stck
 It seems that 1t is customary for the prisoners to air their bedding in this manner, and if the blankets were no- ticed, nothing was thought of it. Yes terday, too, 1t happened that during the afternoon the entire office force, except one deputy, was out and the prisoners had probably been informed of this fact and chose the time advisedly. Festus Hughes. son of Jim Hughes. has been arrested and is being held charged with complicity in the escape.
 Effort has been made to secure any possible clue as to the direction taken by the fugutives, and a posse will keep after them with all diligence. Hughes is the man who attacked Bob Hunter about Christmas in Northport and succeeded in inflicting several dangerous wounds on him with a knife. As stated above sen- tence had been passed upon him, and he was to have been taken to the peniten- tiary this morning had he not effected his escape.
