Nldalla.-N- B. Hawthorne. who was
convicted in the District Court of car
tie stealing about six months ago. and

then, awaiting the appeal of his case
10 the Supreme Court, which handed
down its decision affirming the de.
cision of the lower court, ESCAPED from
the parish Jail some time the follow
ing night.
Hawthorne's attorney, John E. Clay
ton, informed him Of the Supreme
Courts action, and that night Haw.
thorne talked with Jailer Cross.
Hawthorne's wife and children have
visited him frequently during his in
carceration.
The jailer's cook was the first to dis
cover the escape when coming to work
in the morning. Upon examination il
was found that Hawthorne had sawed
through eight of the iron bars at the
window. He closed the wicket in his
cell door to prevent prisoners in other
cells from seeing his work, and used
soap to lessen the noise.
Chains from the wall cots were fast
ened together and tied around the bars
and hung down nearly to the ground.
A blanket was used to keep the chains
from rattling against the wall. Haw-
thorne left letter to Jailer Cross and
one to Mrs. Hawthorne.

SO great was this sentiment. accord
