An old-fashioned method of jail
breaking was successfully adopted
by which four prisoners in the Law
renee county JAIL. at Louisa, were
liberated. The prisoners cracked a
stone in the wall by alternating heat
and cold. They heated the stone by
means of a gas stove they had
rugged up for that purpose. and
when it had become sufficiently hot,
they dashed cold water on it. This
caused it to split in two.
Charles Bratton. who shot and
killed William p. Ogden, was held
to the grand jury at his examining
trial, at Paducah. He was recog-

Ogden was shot in the back or front
of the body. Where the bullet en-
tered and went out of the body the
wounds were ragged, and Or. r.
Holt said he could not tell whether
the bullet entered the front or back
of the body.

take over the property bequeathed
by the will of the late Mrs. Anniak
Massie, and endow a hospital, to be

istrator of the estate. Before the
adjournment of the November term
of the Bourbon Circuit Court, Judge

pointment of Mrs. William E.Simms
