to say whether this course of conduct
derives any justification from its univer-
salty, but in the region of practice / have
never hesitated to place myself on a
moral level with those with whom l had
to deal. 1 felt, therefore, very little
scruple in making use of the one weak
spot discoverable in the defence of our
redoubtable opponent, his excellency, the
President of Aureataland.
The President had no cause to suspect
trap; therefore, like a sensible man,
he chose to spend the evening with the
Signorina rather than with his gallant
officers 1t appears that at few min

dent was peacefully listening to the con-
versation of his fair guest (whom he had

occupation), there fell upon his ear the

dent could not command a view of the

PRISONERS IN COUNTY JAIL
ATTEMPT DELIVERY.
DISCOVERED JUST IN TINE
During An Inspection of the Jail on
Christmas Eve, Officers Find that
Saws Had been Given Prisoners
and Some Bolts Were Removed.

Christmas eve Sheriff Crouch,
Jailer Jones and deputies decided to
make an inspection tour OF the coun-
ty Jail and when they came to the
cell occupied by Walter Taylor, who
is charged with the murder of Harry
F. Stone. and which cell is also oc-
cupied by w. E. Johnson, who IS
awaiting trial for the murder of J.
NJ. Jayne, Charlie Mcdaniel, who Is
up for assault and battery and another
white man who, is awaiting trial for
a small offense, they found some
thing radically wrong.
Here they found that some small
saws had been hidden in the bedding
and that one or two bolts to the steel
bars had been cut through. 1t was
indeed fortunate thing that the of
fieers selected the time they did for
their inspection, Tor had they neglect
ed it for day or so the result might
have been almost wholesale escape
tof prisoners, the wounding or kill
ing of the jailor and his assistants
in very probable fight with the self
| liberating prisoners.
When questioned as to how he re
ceivkd the saws, Toler, who is a
blacksmith by trade, replied tha
| they had been given him by some
''sf(w people" but it is Thought,
that they were given by some frient
or friends Of mis- and that he is try
ing TO shield them. The prisoner
were separted and a close watch i
now being kept upon them and upol
all callers TO the jail.

| son will be tried carly in the comm;
| term of the criminal court, as 500
