will Hamilton Played Crazy
Long Enough to Get a
Chance For Liberty...Man
on Roof Saw Him Slope.

By jumping from the roof of the
kitchen of the county Jail this morn
ing, Will Hamilton. serving a SEN
tence of two years for assault and
battery, escaped from the county Jail
this morning about 10: 80 O'Clock.
So quickly and neatly did he accomp-
lish the act that Theo. Luttrell, who
was standing within five feet of Han
ilton, did not realize that the prison
er had escaped!
For two years Hamilton has beer
a prisoner in the county jail, and foi
several months he has been shamint
insanity the county physician. says
He has refused to take exercise ant
even to eat his meals, and his physi
cal condition has been bad for sew
eral weeks. This morning Jailei
Henry Houser was cleaning ur
around the jail. and Hamilton asked
permission to wash the windows oi
the jail. Thinking the exercise
might be beneficial, he was taken out
Of the corridor and was washing the
windows on the south side of the
jail standing on the roof of the
kitchen which is about twelve feet
high.
Theo Luttrell is painting the roof
Of the Jail. and was working within
few feet of Hamilton. Deputy
Jailer Charles Whlttemore was guard
ing him, but for a few minutes STEP
ped around to the north side of the
jail to superintend the cutting ot
grass by TRUSTEES. Taking the situa-
ton in hand, Hamilton made dash
for liberty, jumped from the roof,
and disappeared up the alley between
Sixth and Seventh streets.
Mr. Whittemore returned TO his
post in a few minutes. and II was
then discovered that Hamilton had
escaped. Chase was given, but the
fugitive was not located. The police
department was notified, and close
watch Is being kept over the city for
the prisoner.
Hamilton is regarded as desper-
ate man, and ii ray take fight to
recapture him. He was arrested
about two years ago on the charge
of horribly cutting Matt Mckinney.
He was tried and convicted on the
charge OF malicious cutting, but on
the appeal. the appellate court re-
cided that 1t was not felony, and
last year on the second trial he was
sentenced to two years in the county
Jail. One year of this has been
served. He remained a year in Jail
lpending the appeal. Since being in
jail he was caught robbing mail ad-
dressed to. prisoners in the Jail and
at his last trial struck the prosecut-
ing witness in the face.
