Tried to Escape.

The negro Dock Nelson, VINO Is
confined in Jail under sentence OF
death, was caught up with by Sheriff
Hunter in an attempt to file his way
| to liberty. While things were quiet
Sunday afternoon the Sherif's wife
heard a noise and called his attention
to it. He sent his deputy, Mr.. Simms
Hunter, upstairs to investigate, who
slipped off his shoes and crept noise
lessly up the steps.
When he arrived at the door
the negro was seen busily en-.
gagged in trying to file away one OF
the iron bars to a window, using g
small hand saw file.
When detected he said he was glad
they had caught and stopped him,
but what caused him to be so glad is
not known. He freely talked about
the filing, saying he intended to file
enough bars away to get out OF the
window. He was also chained to the
floor, but the chain was long enough
for him to walk around the room
and reach the door and windows.
He said the file was given him by
negro who was confined in Jail some
time ago. It was a small wornout
affair, and it would have taken him
a long time to get out with such an
instrument. He had been at work
for some time, as the Sherif's wife
had been hearing the filing noise for
a week or more.
We went over to see what Nelson
had accomplished, and he talked to
US freely. The sheriff has shortened
his chain so he cannot move around
the room, and a steel cage will now
be provided for his safe keeping.
We told Nelson he was very fool
ish to attempt to get out with such
a faulty tool; that he had little or nc
chance of success, and now the
Sheriff would of necessity have to be
more strict with him. He said he knew
lit and wished he had not tried to gel
away. We told him he had at least
a year yet to live, and he seemed
pleased at the information. Nelson
is the only prisoner in Jail.
In the room recently occupied by
the young white man, who was sent
to the penitentiary at the recent
term of court for robbing the store
of DR.. J. S. Matthews at Denmark
we were shown some writing on the
window with soap which Nelson die
before his departure. He wrote
very complimentary of the sheriff
and said that a mans best frlent
was the dollar; when his money wa
gone his friends were gone. He ha(
one window nearly covered with nic'
things about the sheriff and hi
friends going back on him., ltseem
he had about S400 when he got t.
running with the crowd who got hin
into trouble, and they must hav'
spent it for him or helped him tt
fspend it.
