to the Montgomery county Jail for
safekeeping, affected an escape Mon
day morning, March LIST, between the
hours of IL, midnight, and o'clock
a. m. Another prisoner also disap-
peared at the same time. At pres
ent there are no clues though the Of
ficers are of the opinion outside aid
was given the men.
One of the walls Of the Jail build
ing was completely pierced by Q hole
large enough for the body of o man
to pass through. On the outside of
the building and near this hole was
found small crowbar and a bottle,
the latter, it is thought, may have
contained nitro-glycerine used for the
purpose Of making breach in the
masonry. h
The screws that held the bars of
the prisoners cells were removed and
the door to the corridor was also
found unlocked. The remaining pris-
oners refuse to talk undoubtedly fear
full Of the result should they diyulge
anything concerning what passed dur
ing the night.
Sheriff Woolery left this city early
Monday morning for Montgomery and
with Sheriff Ernst, Of that county,
went over the ground carefully. Be-
fore noon postals bearing a descrip-
ton of the two men disappeared had
been mailed broadcast and the work
of tracing them begun.
The description of the two men
follows:
Luther Anderson, tall fair complex
ion, brown curly hair, blue eyes, %
years old eye teeth extend out very
prominently, very pleasant and talk
ative, charged with murder.
Frank Lewis, alias Theo. Lusby,
alias LIE Lusby, 3S years old, brown
hair, IT,, In, tall. All toes off
one foot, 3 toes off other foot, has
bad teeth, charged with burglary and
larceny -
From every indication outside as
sistance was given the escaped men.
Anderson Attempts
to Escape.
Anderson was the prime mover in
jail deliveries that were planned by
him but which were nipped in the bud
by other prisoners Switching" The
first one was shortly after Anderson
was Jailed and was merely in its in
cipiency when discovered. The Sec
ond was on January 10th. 1t was
shortly after Sheriff Woolery came
into office. This was planned by
Johnson, the negro accused of MUIR
der at Thompson and recently SEN
ttuCcu " ~ ySaic Ii pAtooh anu ~>AA
derson, accused Of killing Wagner.
The attempt on January 10th was
told the Sheriff by one of the other
prisoners, Leland, the forger. He
said he was thief and he knew 1t
and cared as much for the officers as
they did for him, but 1t was only when
he heard the two men planning to kill
Mrs. Woolery beside the Sheriff and
Deputy Barnett that he drew the line.
When the Sheriff and Mr.. Barnett
entered the cells Sunday morning re-
volvers in hand and took from John
son and Anderson two pieces Of pipe
they had screwed loose from the
plumbing in the jail the men were
surprised. They refused to talk.
