columbia Record, Sept. 26th.)
Sheriff J. Perry Poole, of Green
Vile, and his prisoner, ". U. Vaughn,
formerly superintendent OF the Odd
Fellows Home, arrived in Columbia
this morning from Baltimore.
The trip to Columbia was without
'.cident and Vaughn gave no trouble.
To Sheriff Poole he frequently re-
ferred to his prcdicament, declaring
that he was innocent. While waiting
for the sOuth-bound train at Balti-
more Vaughn discussed his case with
newspaper reporters, saying that he
was suffering great anguish from the
worry of his arrest and the trouble
that the charges brought to his wife
and children.
Vaughn is a small man, neat in ap-
pearance and pleasing in looks.
When the charges were first made
reports came from G~reenville that a
special term Of court was probable,
but when Vaughn escaped the pro-
ceedings in that direction were
dropped and the energies of the au-
thorities were directed toward re-
capturing him. Solicitor Proctor A.
Bonham says he will ask for a spe-
cial term of court.
Says Did Not Saw Bars.
When asked how he escaped from
jail Vaughn said that he climbed
through the bars Of his cell, but that
he himself did not saw the bars.
Vaughn stated to Sheriff Poole
that he feared the people Of South
Carolina would attempt to do him
bodily harm.
Since his arrival in this city
vaughn has been taking a course in
medicine at the Baltimore Medical
College. and his whole mind was set
on becoming a full ncdgcd physician.
