FAKES HANGING
IN JAIL AS RUSE
TO MAKE ESCAPE
White Man Held AS Forger
Tells Sheriff 1t Was Only
Joke On Him

A strange young white man, held
in the county Jail here on charge of
forgery, played a grim joke on Sher-
if Harvey this week by feigning to
hang himself in the jail bull pen"
where he is confined
1t was about Z o clock in the eve
ming that he called through the wall
that he wanted some water. When
Sheriff Harvey responded with the
water few minutes later he saw
the prisoner hanging Imply by a
small rope from the overhead bars,
the rope apparently around his neck
and his cap drawn over his face.
" Well | said to myself, remark
ed the sheriff later in telling Of his
find, "T've heard of folks doing like
that before, but it's the first time
I've seen it. >"
The sheriff walked around the
hanging body to get good view and
then clamly walked out Passing
into his own home across the corri-
dor he remarked to Mrs. Harvey that
he had found the prisoner cas- dead
as a wedge" The expression caused
his little daughter, who heard it, to
laugh out. He went out in front and
met Solicitor Dan Chappell outside
near the court house and called him.
They re-entered the Jail together
within a few minutes, but the
corpse" had come to life, the pris-
oner being down from his self-made
gallows, putting and attempting to
laugh. Asked what he was trying to
! do, he replied that he was just play
/ ing "A joke on the sheriff.
! 1t is the officers belief that the
prisoner was attempting to secure
/ an opportunity to escape, hoping that
She sheriff would become excited at
seeing him hanging there supposedly
! dead and rush out for help, leaving
the door open, which the Sheriff did
not do, Seeing his ruse futile, he
passed it off as joke. He informed
the two officers that he had held his
body up without harm by passing the
rope under his arms.
fhe man, who says he is 28 years
of age, was arrested as loiterer al
the Central station several nights age
! by Policemen Lee and Kimsey and
locked up. Later it developed that
he had attempted at several loca
drug stores and other places to cash
a check for $3.50, made out to "Wil
forgery. The style of the signature
"Philo H. Smith, bookkeeper Bank
of Commerce." which proved to be a
fogery. The style of the signature
caused the check to be turned down
everywhere, although the holder was
not known. After being jailed the
! man said his name was Warren, that
he had travelled all over the country
and that his home was in Texas.
