actual corrupting of the electorate so

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE
 FROM ENSLEY JAIL
TWO PRISONERS MAKE WAY INTO CORRIDOR AND WHEN CAUGHT GIVE UNIQUE REASON FOR WANTING TO GET AWAY.

Greater Birmingham almost lost they prisoners. last night which she has con- fined in the second district. or Ensley, jail, but neat work on the part Of Ser geant Donlin nipped it in the bud.
 Desk Sergeant Trimble, who also acts as warden. was locking the prisoners il their respective cells. The jail is located on the second floor and its one door opens into the courtroom. When Sergeant Trim bie entered the large room he locked the door behind him and went ahead with the work of locking up tho prisoners. The prisoners were seated around the stove and he allowed them to remain there un- til each ones time came to get into his cell
 While he was in the back of the room two of the white prisoners, White McI1- nancy and Enos Harp. proceeded to pick the lock on the door, and quietly opening 1t, stole into the courtroom. They stayed there but a moment, however, as Patrol Sergeant Donlon, who was in the court room, ordered them back to the jail.
 The attempted delivery will probably,
 
 bring forth an investigation by the city authorities as to the safety of the jail. The work of the two prisoners in mak- ing the attempt to escape was executed in a neat manner, and had 1t not been for Sergeant Donlin's presence in the court room would have undoubtedly been suc- cessful. and Illustrated the fact that while the jail might be strong enough to hold an ignorant prisoner, that one with intel iigence would abide in 1t but short while.
 The prisoners took the whole affair as a joke, at least that is the face they put upon it when put in the cells. Their reas- on for desiring to leave in such unseemly fashion was given as mot caring to live in a town which had let another town stab 1t in the back and double the license achedu1e'
