The entire force of law enforcers
in Morgan county has been thrown
into the quest for eigh. negroes who
during Thursday night tore several
bits from the walls of the Morgan
county jail and made good their es-
cape.
Sheriff May had suspicion several
days ago that an effort was being
made to effect a jail delivery and
dligent search was made for saws in
the Jail Even the personal belong
ings of the prisoners were searched,
but no trace of the instrument was
discovered.
Officials advance the opinion that
the prisoners were aided in escaping
from their steel cells. Once in the
corridor. It is believed hot water was
used to loosen the brick which were
torn from the wall for a space large
enough to admit mans body.
Three of the negroes were charged
with burglary and special venire of
100 jurors had been called to try one
of them.
The alarm was given by James
Reeder. white prisoner, on the upper
floor of the building, but too late for
officers to nab the escaping blacks.
