RALEIGH. N, c., Oct 5.-Calvin !
Westmoreland. a white man so years
old was arrested in a tobacco ware
house, where he was at work, on the !
charge of being an escaped convict
from the North Carolina penitentiary
at Raleigh. Westmoreland at first de-
MED vehemently that he ever had been
in the penitentiary but subsequently
admitted he had been a convict.
For 20 years he had been free and
had spent ten years Of the time in the
old town Of Salem. He was convicted
in Stokes county in February 1885, of
stealing and was sentenced to three
years at hard labor in the penitentiary,
and two months later was sent with
force of several hundred convicts to
build the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley
railway. He worked at that for two
years, and on January II, 1887, made
his escape in company with three 9TH
er convicts.
He took up the trade Of a carpenter
and has followed this ever since he
lived at Salem. He has a wife and
/ four children and occupied a neat
home Jailer Hammer received a letter
! from Prison Clerk Thomas NJ. Sorting
ton giving a description Of Westmore-
land and saying that he was believed
to be at Salem and that for his arrest
and delivery to the penitentiary au-
thorities a reward woull be paid. The
arrest followed.
The arresting officer felt keen SYM
pathy for his prisoner, whose history
he had learned, and took westmore-
land to the la-tcrs tidy little cottage
in order that he right bid farewell II
his wife and children, and also waited
over day that the unfortunate man
might straighten out his household At
fairs before hting brought back to the
Raleigh penitcntiary and also to af-
ford him a chance to consult with an
attorney.
The latter listened to Westmore-
lands story and also to his theory thai
he could escape serving the year re-
naming of his unexpired sentence by
pleading the statute of limitations, and
then Informed him that the statute
would not be operative in his case. II
his opinion the arresting officer sale
he was sorry, in the present instance
to concur, so Westmoreland was
brought here and again put in peni'
Tertiary stripes.
