CARTER ALMOST
SCALES THE WALL
MAN HELD FOR PROHIBITION
VIOLATION WAS GOING TO TOP
HAND OVER HAND WHEN DIS
COVERED.

G. c. Carter, a white man, who is con-
fined at the county Jail on several charges
of violating the prohibition law, was bare
ly prevented from escaping yesterday
morning shortly after o'clock. The
faithfulness to the authorities of three
negro prisoners Is alone responsible for
Carriers confinement this morning.
The would-be escape, 1t seems, was al
lowed to go to the jail kitchen yesterday
morning to make coffee for himself and
several fellow prisoners. 1t seems that
during the night he had torn his canvass
bunk into strips, with which he made
rope, and that he had made a bridge
out of the wooden sides of the bunk.
This improvised bridge was run from one
of the windows of the jail to the wall
surrounding the prison, the canvass rope
being tied to the bridge next to the wall.
After Carter had set about making the
coffee he left the kitchen and went
around to the Fourth avenue side of the
jailyard. Here he had fixed his rope and
he was climbing hand over hand to the
top of the wall when negro prisoners In
formed the warden what was going on
Carter was stopped just as he reached
the top of the wall.
The prisoner was made to come down
and was Immediately placed In his cell,
where he will be confined. An additional
charge of maliciously destroying county
property was docketed against him.
