ASYLUM PATIENT
Sawed Bars and Escaped,
But Was Captured.

Charles Stuart, the greensboro
negro who escaped from the asylum
here few nights ago. was arrested
in Henderson and returned to the
institution. Stuart sawed the bars
from the window of his cell, using a
steel spring taken from the sole of
his shoe, and dropped to the ground.
He then came to this city and board
ed freight train for Henderson.
The negro is evidently much i'm
proved in mental condition since be-
ing brought to the asylum. When
he was adjudged insane he had not
spoken word for weeks and APP
peared to be devoid of reason. In
the event of his final recovery he
will be taken back to Owensborc
