FlEES WHILE COURT
GRANTS HIS APPEAL
~
SOUTHAMPTON MURDERER MAKES
ESCAPE FEW HOURS BEFORE
HIGH COURT ACTS
SLEW WIFE'S FATHER
UNDER SENTENCE OF IS YEARS,
CRAIG ATKINSON CLEvERLY
LETS HIMSELF OUT OF JAIL
IN SOUTHAMPTON
L E WIFE'S FATHER

Just a few hours before the State
Supreme Court OF Appeals returned
a writ Of error and supersedeas Tues
day, giving him an opportunity for a
new hearing, Craig Atkinson. a prom
inent young jeweler of Boykin, SEN
fenced to eighteen years imprison-
ment by the Circuit court OF
escape from tho CORTLAND jail and
thus far the authorities have not been
able to locate him.
Atkinson, who has been confined
in CORTLAND jail for more than a
year, pending legal technicalities in
cident TO his appeal to the higher
court, cleverly fashioned keys OF
tin and wood with which he succeed
ing in unlocking both the doors of his
cell and the outer doors Of the prison.
Aided by Confederates.
He Is said to have been aided by
confederates, who provided both a
horse and an automobile to carry
him across the North Carolina line.
Sheriff Turner followed the fugitive
for several miles, but lost the trail
and CAV up the chase.
Atkinson's attorneys asked for a
writ of error on the ground thai the
trial judge had refused to admit the
evidence of an important witness to
the effect that his ~father-in-law,
Beale, had threatened Atkinson's life
more than once. and further that the
convicted man had acted In self-de-
fense. The arguments set forth In
the petition were sufficient to war
rant the court in granting the petit
ton, but before 1t had been formally
recorded Atkinson had broken jail
and had departed for parts unknown.
On July 4, 1912, Atkinson went to
tho home of his father-in-law In
search of his wife, who had returned
to her parents. After hot words. At
kinson shot him dead. Several months
after at CORTLAND he was sentenced
to eighteen years in States prison and
was confined In the Southampton coun-
ty jail pending 1T appeal until yes
terday.
How He Escaped.
Atkinson, who 10 a good l%oeksnlth,
was taken sick several weeks ago and
was removed from a murderer's cell
to n larger room, during which time
he was allowed a little more freedom
with the aid of a small piece OF
wood, some galvanized tin and twine
he made three separate keys, the frsl
being no good, the second unlocking
his room doom, and the third unlock.
Ing tire r1atrr entrance to the JAIL.
After Atkinson went out two ne
groes left the yard and went to thu
house OF Sheriff Turner. notifying hin
or the escape. Atkinson was evidently
aided by one or more confederates, a.
the negroes state that some one wa,
walking around the jail yard before hi,
escape. and Sheriff Turner, with Jailel
Turner, his son. tracked Atkinson, whs
left on horseback, for two miles, wher,
he is supposed TO have left in an uto
mobile, which was tracked into Nortl
Carolina, his native State.
Atkinson was visited several days
by his father, who left later I,
visit a son in Portsmouth. The max
ing of the keys with the tin. etc. show
ed the cleverness of Atkinson as
locksmith.

in Federal Court
ATTORNEYS LEAVE
Clty Attorney Alexander and Attor.

at Hearing
ATTORNEYS LEAVE

After Il lapse of several months
during which interval it has been i'm
possible 20 have a hearing, the Pine
BluIf Water rate case is to be COM.
menced today at Little Rock in the
Federal Court. City Attorney w. B.
Alexander left yesterday afternoon
Tor Lite Rock, to handle the case for
the City Of Pine Bluff, against which
the Pine Bluff Company in June last
secured an injunction, restraining the
City from putting into effect reduced
water rates. Attorney Frank c..
Bridges, counsel for the Pine Bluff
Company, will represent the COM
pany in the Federal suit.
In May Of this year an ordinance
was passed by means of which it was
planned to reduce the water rates
about forty per cent. The water
rates are about an average of $50,
and it he'd that there are approx
mately $500 consumers in Pine Bluff.
The Pine Bluff Company made resis-
lance oftrc ordinance, and in filing
the injunction to prevent the reduc-
ton in rates, held that the reduction
would not only entail great loss but
would be in the nature of confisca-
ton. 1t was held that the city, under
the franchise given, has no right to
make a reduction of the rates on
water.
Although the injunction was filet
there YVES never temporary in
junction granted, as that move would
have necessitated considerable ex-
pense for the Pine Bluff Company,
and the city agreed until after a
hearing of the merits of the case that
