The twentieth century circuit
rider who has congregations scat
tered over from ten to fifty square
miles of territory does not travel
from place to place on horseback.
Instead he makes use of two of
the latest methods of transporta-

slow-paced Dobbin. He either
mounts a motorcycle and pfut-pfuts
his way from one village to an
other or climbs into moderate
priced automobile and whirs about.
Probably the only reason why he
does not use an airplane is because
his congregations refuse to have
him risk his life by becoming a
"sky pilot" literally as well as
figuratively.

MURDERER ESCAPES
FROM WORKHOUSE
WALKED OUT ON MONDAY AFTERNOON
WHEN CLERK OPENED DOOR, THINK
ING HE WAS A "TRUSTY."

Lemuel Price, negro, who was being
held at the New Castle County Work
house at Greenbank, awaiting execu-
tionfor the murder of Policeman Zeb-
ley in Wilmington in November es-
capped from that institution about five
o'clock Molday afternoon when the
chief clerk of the prison opened the
door for him, thinking that he was a
"trusty' carrying flour from the work
house to the prison farm two miles
away. Price was to have been put
to death January 9th The escape was
made while the prisoners were at
their supper, and just how the negro
managed to get out of his cell is not
known. 1t is thought, however, that
he had aid from someone inside the
institution.
1t was about half an hour after the
negro left the Jail that his escape was
discovered. The alarm was sounded
Immediately and a search made in
every direction. Police dogs were
placed on his trail, but without avail.
Up until noon on Thursday no trace
of the man has been found.
Immediately following the mans es-
cape the trustees of the workhouse
onered a reward of $500 for the cap
ture of the murderer, and Governor
Townsend in behalf of the State of
Delaware offered $1,000 reward. This
added to the efforts to capture the ne
gro. A negro answering Prices de-
'scription slept in a greenhouse near
West Chester Tuesday night, but left
before the authorities saw him. The
citizens of all parts of the State are
indignant that murderer should be
allowed to escape while awaiting death
by hanging, and already the chief
clerk who allowed the man to get out
side the prison bars has resigned.
An investigation is being made to .
ascertain the real facts which led up
to the escape of the murderer. Price .
was a member of a desperate gang Of .
thieves and he will shoot to kill if he
has firearms when found. He is feet
. inches in his stocking feet and
weighs about 141 pounds.
