BY PRISONERS
Three Desperate Negroes ES-
cape From Fayette County
Jail.

Lexington, KY, March 8.-Over-
towering two guards, and taking the
keys from one of them, three negro
prisoners escaped from the Fayette
county Jail here last afternoon. The
guards, g. w. Sherrod, turnkey, and
R. H. Chopper, deputy jailer, were
held by other prisoners until the
three men had gotten to the street.
The men who made the daring es-
cape are: Sam Armstrong, SEN
fenced to life term in the peniten-
tiary for the murder of 'Laughin
Sal" Messiger negro woman, on
July II, last year; Charles Thomas,
sentenced to the penitentiary for
HOUSEKEEPING, and Robert Rice, held
to the grand jury for attempted GRIM
inal assault on white woman.
The delivery was accomplished
when the deputies went to the cells
for their usual afternoon lookup of
the prisoners. A rag was thrown
over Jailer Choppers head and he
was thrown to the floor. A towel
was placed over Turney Sherrod's
head. No violence was attempted,
the prisoners only taking precautions
to keep the jailers from making out
cries for help.
After unlocking the lower door
with keys secured from Turnkey
Sherrod, the negroes stole past an
open door,, near which four other
guards were playing pinochle. The
game was not interrupted until sever
al minutes later.
None of the negroes had been
caught late last night.

Bitter Debate in Kentucky As.
sembly--.L. & N. Wins In ,
.... Big Battle. 20 % .

Frankfort KY, March 8.-The
common carriers, represented by the
biggest aggregation of talent that has
been seen in Frankfort this year,
swept the platter clean in Tuesdays
sessions of the general assembly.
In the morning the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad stepped into the sena-
torial ring with the Western Union
Telegraph company to renew the
battle which il had lost in Federal
court. An hour later it emerged VIC
torious, Senator Sam Robertson's bill
to prohibit the condemnation for other
purposes of railroad rights of way
having been passed by a count of 81
to 2.
In the afternoon the common car
riers again scored heavily by the
overwhelming defeat in the house of
the Finn bill to extend the rate regu-
latory powers of the Kentucky rail-
| road commission. This measure,
demanded by the platforms of both
the democratic and republican parties,
was tabled, 50 to 80, on a motion of
Representative Humphrey.
The administration suffered another
defeat when Governor SANKEY'S plan
creating a state tax commission to de-
wise legislation for the revision of
Kentucky's system of revenue and
taxation was overwhelmed in the
house by crushing majority. The
plan was embodied in a Joint resolu-
ton which had been introduced by
Representative Perry at the instance
of the governor.
An indentical resolution is pending
in the senate. In view Of the action
of the house, however, it seems prob
able that a resolution offered by SEN
ator Bodies, which differs in some
important particulars, may be adopted
as it is indicated that it will be more
satisfactory to members. The Bodies
resolution provides for a commission
of nine members. Three to be APP
pointed by the governor, three by the
president of the senate and three by
speaker of the house. Under this
resolution the commission would be
expected to report next fall.
When the senate met it took up the
Knight "Jim Grow" street car bill,
providing fora separation of races
in street cars in Louisville.
Senator T. A. Combs, of Lexington,
wanted to know 'if 80 per cent of
the people of Louisville were in favor
of a separation of the races in the
street cars, as claimed by Senator
Senator Knight, why il was that they
were not afforded the relief by the
general council of Louisville which
had the power.
After bitter debate the bill was
passed, Is to IL.

The second trial of "Bubber"
Chafin and Ernest Wilson, negroes,
charged with the murder of former
Sheriff j. M. Renshaw, was begun
in circuit court Monday. The jury
was empaneled and adjournment
taken till Tuesday when the taking
of testimony was begun. AT the for
mer trial the defendants were given
life sentences, but the higher court
granted a reversal.
The first witness was DR.. j. B.
Jackson, who attended Mr.. Renshaw
during the time he fingered with a
bullet in his head. He said the shot
was fired at close range, not over
two feet, as shown by powder burns.
There are large number of wit
nesses who are giving about theAsame
testimony as in the previous trial.
Many of them saw two negroes skulk-
ing in the vicinity of the bridge where
Mr.. Renshaw was attacked as he
drove by in his buggy, None of the
witnesses could positively identify
the prisoners as the men seen, but
all said their general appearance at a
distance was the same. The chain
of evidence is being woven about
them with scarcely missing link.
The case appears to be even stronger
than before.
w. H. Stephens said he was on a
hill near Judge Fowler's 400 yards
away and heard the shot about 3p. m.
Gilbert Allen was in Fowler's to-
bacco patch and saw Renshaw pass
and saw two men running out of the
bridge.
! Robley Rex was in a buggy with
his father and grandfather and saw
two men going down the river hedge.
One large man wore hat. A small
one wore a cap and had his coat on
his arm.
Ben King Harmed, heard shot, had
Just met two negroes on bridge, one
had a cigarette. Didn't know them.
Met Renshaw just beyond bridge.
Mrs. j. j. CARROT saw two men on
stone abutment. A woman that
looked like Matte Taylor was leaving
the bridge.
Mrs. H. E. Dalton met Mr.. Rem
shaw in his buggy bumped up, lines
down, hat off, helpless like a drunk
en- man. Miss Cecil Dalton corrob-
ated her.
j. r. Renshaw met his fathers
buggy 80 yards from CarrolrS barn
on pike. Was unconscious. fCared
for him. Afterwards saw tracks of
two men leading back to Tip Leavell's.
Wilson lodged him after the shoot
ing, exciting his suspicious. His
father had about $40 in his pocket.
Judge w. T. Fowler saw the tracks
and talked to Wilson about his shoes.
C. fl. johnson found I Wilson'S
clothes at Eva Chafins, including a
pair of striped trousers and one shoe.
Returning found shoe on fire burning.
