PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM
GEORGETOWN AND DOVER

Sometime between midnight and day
light, Sunday morning, while heavy
wind and rain storm was in progress,
two white prisoners, Richard Wright
and Emanuel Stevenson, made their
escape from the Georgetown jail. In
some way a small saw was passed to
the prisoners. and with it they sawed
the iron bolts that held the heavy door
to their cell and with rope made Of
blankets they easily lowered the door TO
the floor outside without any noise.
After gaining the Jail yard, with an old
table and cot they made ladder and
were soon on the Jail wall. They then
let themselves down to the ground on
the outside by the water pipe. Wright
is the man who was arrested at Har-
rington last winter by Sheriff Lynch
after breaking Jail at Georgetown with
fifteen other prisoners. He was indicted
at the last term Of court for larceny
but was acquitted by the jury. He was
rearrested for jail breaking and recon-
mitled.
Milford chronicle., 1907-06-07

For the second time in less than four
months a Jail delivery occurred at the
Kent county Jail, in Dover, Monday
morning. Two prisoners, Tobe Black
serving a thirty days sentence, and
John Henry Stephenson, awaiting trial
for the larceny of chickens at the farm
Of E. w. Jenkins last week, made their
escape in the same manner as the six
teen who secured their freedom on Feb
ruary 22nd last, by knocking the turn
key down and walking out. That more
did not escape was due to the presence
Of mind Of some OF the women folks Of
Sheriff William HaTtnett's house who,
hearing the scuille in the hail. ran
downstairs and closed the iron door to
prevent further delivery. The regular
turnkey, brother OF the sheriff, was
out of town, A negro had been placed
in charge of the door since Mr. Hart
nett's absence. The turnkey was called
to the door on the pretense Of one Of the
prisoners wanting some laundry work
done. As soon as the negro opened the
door Black and Stephenson felled him
to the floor aud walked out, making
good their escape across the public
square in full sight of many persons
standing around. They We're captured
at Bridgeville on Tuesday and are again
