ternoon about Z o'clock Marion
Brown, negro, who was convicted
at Jasper last term of court for
Shooting Grant Moore, another negro.
and sentenced to serve three years on
the county chaingang, made sensa-
tional escape. While III. d. Floyd,
the only guard on duty, was near the
main tent, the negro, who was looked
upon as a trusty. secured a heavy
shovel and made a rush at the guard,
and at the same time securing the
latter's rifle. which was Il short dis
tance away. AS soon as he secured
the rifle he shot at the guard, hit
ting him in the leg. The guard S
life was only saved by the fact that
when the negro went to readjust the
rifle one Of the cartridges jammed,
thus preventing him from firing until
the guard could get out Of the way.
The negro then turned the weapon
upon another trusty but missed his
mark. 1t Is said that he then went
to the guards trunk, secured all the
rifle cartridges he could find, and
left with a suit of citizens clothes.
The negro served before ON the gang
for q similar offense. He is de-
scribed as being a dark ginger-cak
negro, almost black, about 40 years
of age, feet inches. He has three
scars on his forehead anG a very Sc
