Point Pleasant, w. Va.-When a man

the intention of staying away from 1t,
but the rule does not apply to Strother
Colley of this county, who escaped
from the Mason county jail here some
months ago. He was sentenced to a
four months term for sending q
threatening letter through the mails.
Sheriff John #. Lewis was aroused
from his bed by the ringing OF the jail
doorbell. He responded and was sur
prised t. find Colley standing there
Colley said he had come back to eat.
He had wandered over several states
since leaving the Jail, had been. unable
to obtain employment and was also
unable to get "three squares" a day,
Colley had three months of his sen
tence to serve. and he figured 1t was
easier to eat by staying in Jail thar

On top of the pipe is a large bell

no little annoyance. l was tired
