CONVICT IN FLIGHT
BORED With BULLETS
Sumter County Zebra Killed
at AnderSOnViIIe.

The first killing of a Sumter county
convict in attempting to escape was
reported yesterday in the death Vt
Ike Williams, negro, who the night
previous made a dash for liberty at
the Andersonyille camp and was shot
dead by Guard Lasseter, after refus-
ing to heed the guards order to halt.
Williams had cleared the boundary
lines of the camp, and was beating
it to the woods when a load of buck
shot stopped him,
The shooting was witnessed by 9TH
er guards and twenty convicts in the
temporary camp there.
The zebra had formed in line, as
usual, after the days work, and We're
being searched preparatory to turn
ing in for the night. Williams had
not been searched ere he made the
dash for liberty, which cost him his
life a few seconds later.
The guard called upon him to halt,
but the convict dashed on and heed
ed not the warning. 1t was then that
Lasseter fired upon him with a shot,
gun, the whole load taking effect n
the Negroes body. Death was almost
instantaneous, as the shooting was
done within a brief space
Just what possessed the negro to
make the foolish attempt to escape is
not known. He had almost served
his long term in the changing and
would have been liberated in two or
three weeks had he not been killed.
Another convict, Alex Hight, work.
ing with the gang out at Plains, made
successful dash for liberty yester-
day morning and reached the woods
| in safety. But his liberty was short
lived, as Superintendent Christian,
who was there at the time, put the
dogs upon his trail and soon had the
zebra up a tree.
Hight was not hurt in the least, and
after a vacation of two hours was
swinging a shovel and building good
roads again.
