ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED.
"Crick" Young Again in Custody Aft.
ec An Absence of Seven Years
on Extensive "Scout."

Policemen H. H. Franklin and j.
NJ. Adams on Saturday night arrested
Quick Young, or "Crick" Young, who
was convicted before Magistrate
Chappell and also before the mayor
about seven years ago and was sen-
fenced for sixty days on two separate
offenses. Soon after entering upon
service on the chaingang, he escaped
and only a couple of weeks ago r,-
turned to Newberry.
He has been to Washington and
Philadelphia. He was arrested Sat
urday night in Cannon Town. "Crick
seems to have. a mania for whipping
his wife. 1t is said that he has whip
ped her once or twice si1ce his re-
turn.
The following account IF his con-
viction in 1908 is taken from The
Herald and News Of February l3,
1908. It will be seen that in aGdi-
tion to the thirty days each, Of Mag!s-
trate Chappell, he was convicted #
four charges before Mayor Earhardt
and given thirty days each, which
makes a total of one hundred aad
eighty days. 1t is said 1e escap;d
after serving thirty days.
A Bad Negro.
"Crick" Young has lived on the
chaingang most of his manhood
years. The gang, however, seems to
have for him no terrors, and on Tues
day night he got at his old tricks
again.
"Crick's" wife lives on Mr.. W. T.
Ta'rant's place in the city. For the
wife of his bosom he seems not to
have great deal of tender feeling.
This wife about o'clock Tuesday
evening went to Mr.. Thos. F. Har-
mons house to get some milk.
"Crick' was suddenly struck with the
notion that she should be given a
whipping and followed her in Mr.
Harnon's house. Inside when oppos-
ed he drew knife on Mr.. Harmon.
He imediately LETT and was chased by
the gentlemen Of the police force un-
til II o'clock that night when he was
found asleep in the hull house at the
oil mill. .
Wednesday morning he was taken
before Magistrate Chappell on two
offences; and given 80 days on the
chaingang for each. Yesterday morn
ing he was taken before Mayor Ear
hardt on four offences and given 80
days on the chaingang for each. As
fast as the charges were read out he
pleaded guilty and the sentence was
imposed. ...'... =
"Crick'' is bad negro. Not very
long ago he finished a sentence Of 210
days on the gang. When he has fin
ished the present sentences Of six
months, it is very likely that he. will
be tried in higher court .
