the Ijemo people when the Ashantees
and DnhomeanS in Gold Coast, West
Africa were waging war with the Eg.
ba people in Nigeria. The late CHIEF
Ogundipe at Abeokuta knew him.
When my father was sent to O. White
Missionary to study English language
and become Christian, this Missionary
gave him his name Williams, think
ing that the Chiefs name must have
derived from devils" namc, because
he couldn't call his name. Therefore
he named him Edmond Williams. In
those days the white Missionaries
couldn't call the natives by their Afri
can names. They had to give every
child in the Miss ionary school white
men names to teach them better. My
mother also was name Zenobia by Il
white Missionary when she was a
child H. Africa. That's why you can
blame me African natives for using
the white mans name. You have been
sending Missionaries every year from
various denominations in America to

WINDOWS FOUND OPEN.

Several windows in VARIOUS parts
Of the courthouse were found open
when the escape was Investigated
which is thought to indicate that the
men had prowlel about the building
considerably before deciding to take
a fifteen-foot drop from rear win
dow OF the building 10 the cobblestone
pavement below.
The alarm was given by passers-by
OH Main street who saw one or the
escaped men crawling across the con
Meeting bridge. The warden was at
once notified and no ran outside III
time 10 see two Of the men in the
yord ut the rear of the Jail. Hclcher
enpticd his revolver at the escaping
prisoners but he later said that lie did
no! believe that any Of the shots were
effective. However, these shots caused
one OF the men, who later gave his
name as McCombs to halt in his tracks
and the warden dragged him back in
to the Jail.

warden H. G. Hechler and City Po-
lccman Fred Dawson resulted In the
capture Of two OF the escaped pris
oncrs. The other three madet good
their escape and arc still at large.
All of the prisoners who escaped
were located iii a section OF the Jail
OH the side nearest TO the court
house. They were all confind in the
house. They were all confined in the
second tier Of cells. 1t is thought
| that Il bunk from one Of the cells was
used 10 force Il bar Of the cage, from
which the prisoners climbed to the
top of their cells. Just how long bc
fore they made good their escape ii
not known, but investigation showed
| that they climbed up the side Of IL
tn ventilator to the roof, where the
yCntilator was bent back and outlet
gained to the roof Of the pail. From
