Assertions were made by
prisoners who did not take
advantage of the oppor-
tunity to escape that more
than a score of motor cars,
filled with Whitehead fig
ures, thought to be MEM
bers of the Ku Klux Khan,
sped past the Jail and
parked at the rear Of the
court house about the time
the Jail delivery was con-
summated.
Two ghostly figures ap-
peared at the window of the
woman's section of the Jail,

colored, a ''trusty."

noise at the window" the
jackson girl said. IT looked
and saw two men dressed like
pictures I have seen of Klans-
men. They went away.
"Then two colored men, or
maybe they were white men
with their faces blackened,
came to the window. One
said, Go down there, I'D like
to take 'em all out and lynch
them.
"Then I got scared and hid
under the covers. Elizabeth
Jones, another colored girl,
also saw the men,"
Came in Autos
Before the men were seen at the
window several of the prisoners
testified to seeing more than
score of autos filled with Klans-
men The party swooped past the
Jail, blowing sirens and shouting.
According to Sandy Mcdaniel,
the cars were stopped in back OF
the court house.
''I did not see whether the men
left the cars or not" said Nc

Deputy Sheriff y. o. Hines, who

he heard the klansmen, but didn't
get up to see where they went.
Mrs. Hines corroborated his state
ment.
"Outside agencies undoubtedly
contributed to the escape of the
prisoners" said Commonwealth At
torney Frank Ball. "In my opinion,
the bars Of the window were sawed
from the outside. Then someone
wiggled through the aperture and

trolls all the cells on the upper tier.

Obviously less honor- able volunteer would not do, since, having obtained the two thousand, sae might take the whole matter to the court, and ask for restitution of conjugal rights" or some thing of the sort.
 Poor old Derrick hunted unremttingly for month, inserted very discreet adver- tisements, and called upon ono or two matri- monial agencies-all to no purpose. There were any amount of substitutes, but woe full shortage of the original article.
 Then, suddenly, the miracle happened, the thousand-to-one chance favored him.
 He received, quite mysteriousy, letter from Miss Gwendoline Arklow, in which she offered to assist him in the desired man. ner for the specified sum of two thousand pounds She made it quite clear that she had no ulterior motives, and that her sug- gestion was not the outcome of long-cher- ished matrimonial aspirations, but was prompted by great financial stress If such an arrangement were suitable, she promised faithfully to be wife in name only. The letter, which was most convincing, ended with a request for an interview
 Now, this was all to the good, and looked exceedingly promising. Harwood, pleased all to little bits with the scheme, kept the Mearranged ppointment-standing for 3

 pretty women, and you had first-class
 "booby."
 There are scores of men like that-fel- lows, as one might say, with kink some where. Under the sweltering sun of Africa, facing mob of bowling savages; or amid the eternal snows of the Arctic, battling against relentless Nature in her most im- placable mood, they are-to speak para doxically-thoroughly at home.
 But among women! Whew!
 Now, Derrick had an uncle-Sir Peter Harwood-who was almost his complete an- tithesis; that is to say, so far from being afraid of the gentler sex, he was inordi- nately partial to them
 Sir Peter, therefore, partially out of sheer devilment, and partly because he thought that every sane man ought to be married, made will in which he bequeathed ten thousand pounds to Derrick Harwood on condition that, within one year of the testa- tors death, the legatee should enter into the bonds of holy wedlock.
 Then, while Derrick hunting wild beasts in Siam, Sir Peter went the way of all flesh.

The Will and the Way

However, there was. no going back-un- less, of course, he was willing to forgo the legacy.
 "Let us go somewhere for tea" he said,, awkwardly.
 'T should love it," she answered, with charming directness. Have you any favorite 'teaing' place! If not, we might go to the Petit Salle de Paris in Soho."
 Harwood was overjoyed at the suggestion. for he had no more idea of the proper place to take lady to tea than he had of Chinese billiards.
 "They have such delicious cakes there,' went on Miss Arklow, delightedly, "Oh. their meringues are absolutely gorgeous! And their eclairs-"
 Words failed her. She just looked un- speakable bliss
 They crossed the Strand, passed St. Mar tins Church, and turned into Leicester Square. The walk must have completely restored Derrick's nerves, for before they had reached the "Petit Sale de Paris' he was able to walk without stuttering, and to look at her without shivering. In way, he felt at ease-more or less. of course. It
