PRISONERS ES-
CAPE FROM JAIL.
Lige and Roy Grove Cut
Steel Bars.
Bill Duke and Jim Johnson Too
Large to Pull
Through.


Daylight yesterday morning, two not
ed prisoners made their escape from
the Hartford Jail. They were Elijah
Grove, under sentence of seventeen
years in the pelitentiary and his
nephew, Roy Grove, under Indictment
for the murder OF Emilis Wade. The
former was convicted at the March
term Of the Ohio Circuit Court for
participation in the crime and at the
sane time his son, Murray having
plaad guilty, was sent 10 the House
Of Reform at Lexington. Tue MUIR
der was one Of the mos: brutal ever
committed in Ohio County, the three
Groves having gone to the tobacco
field where Mr.. Wade and his wife
were at work, the shots being fired
by Roy Grove w!tl3ut any immsi.ate
provOO4,ion On the part OF Wade, WHO
was un1-nei. 1t is pl2ctica..y GER
tain that Roy Grove would hove re-
celved \ life sentence if his case had
gone % a jury and but far his youth
my have been sentenced 10 death.
No one knows just how the escape
was made, but the men muse have had
some outside assistance in getting
tools as the work on tie strong steel
bars shows that it was done with a
regular steel hack suw and in q very
workman like manner. Two prisoners
viz: Bill Duke, white, and jim john
son oolored remained in the jail al
though they could huve escaped also,
unless the opening which was very
small in The steel cage was too closa
for these men 70 pull through. Duke
is laying cut sentence sor vi0lation
of the prohibition law, while Johnson
hos q penitent!ary sentence staring
him in the face for breaking into the
ginsang patch en- the farm of Mr.. F.
w. Pirtle one night last week. These
men both claim tiat they could have
made their escape had they so desired,
but it is not thought they could have
pulled their bodies through the hole
made by the Groves as they are both
consldere bly, larger. Duke claims that
most Of the cutting on the steel was
done by Jim Hewley about two yelrs
ago, ard for some reason was never
completed and had been concealed
ever since. Upon gaining eno7ace to
