Escaping is no new performance
for Burnett. He is a solidly built
man and after he made his getaway
from the chaingang it was reported
that he was approached by Bilt-
more policeman, wnom Burnett
warned not to follow him. Burnett
escaped from the chaingang with
Talmage Allison, who u short time
previously escaped and was arrested
on charge of highway robbery, it
being alleged that he attacked his
victim and robbed him on the new
Biltmore bridge. Allison would have
been tried on the highway robbery
charge at this criminal term of Su-
perior court. Burnett had only about
80 days of his term on the county
roads left to serve when he made his
escape.
Sheriff Mitchell announced last
night that he will give a reward of
$40 for the capture of Burnett and
will Send any distance to bring him
back If captured.-Spartanburg Jour

James H. Bell, who was bringing
him back to Asheville from Green
