negro grove.
On one occasion, he said, when the
officers with blood hounds were hot
on his trail, he was lying under a hav
stack in a farmers field near Bethel
NJ. E. Church. He had obtained food
from growing vegetables, cantaloupes
ETC., and on some occasions had got
ten something to eat from farmers
homes, making it a point to visit the
farm houses while the men folks were
at work in the fields or had gone to
town to dispose of their produce. He
said the picture on the "fliers" gotten
out by the authorities was not one of
him. This could be very easily veri-
tied by all who saw the negro after
his capture.

Officers who captured Junius Evans.
alias Duke" wanted for murder,
and those assisting, consider them
selves fortunate in that Evans was
unarmed and also unable to reach the
shack in a negro grove at Seaford
which he had been occupying for 10
days. When search was made of the
shack a large quantity of ammuni-
ton, with Chief of Police John f.
Martins revolver, was found. and it
Is believed had Evans been able to
reach the shack he would have bar
ricaded himself in and defed the Of
lcers to take him. This would have
resulted in a gun fight between Evans
and the authorities, which might have
resulted in serious wounds or prob
able death to some of the officers be-
fore the negro would have surrender
ed. There were 16 officers on the lob
when Evass was taktn prisoner, and
every avenue of escape by the negro
was cut off from Ross grove to
Greenabaum Bros canning factory,
distance of at least a quarter of a
mile. Greenabaum Bros grove, where
Evans lived in a shack for 10 DAYS,
is between Ross grove and the can
ming house where Evans was working
and where he was captured.
In the shack the officers also found
the blue jumper and wide belt Evans
was wearing the night he is said to
have shot and killed Christian Chris
tensOn, lower Delaware poultry raiser,
residing near Houston. The revolver
with which he shot Christensen is also
in the hands of the authorities, Evans
having told the officers where it was
III hiding at Houston. Evans told the
officers he had remained around Sea-
ford since Saturday morning, Aug
ust %, when he appeared at the home
of James Banks, the negro who took
him to Flowers Station, on the Sea-

TWO ACCIDENTS NEAR MILFORD

A series of more or less serious aC-

victim Of each accident being taken
to the Milford Emergency Hospital
for treatment. Shortly after eleven
o'clock Monday night a Ford touring
car, driven by John Hammond of Mil
ford,who was accompanied by Thomas
Harrington and Pyle Harrington, also
of Milford, crashed into the rear of
truck which was standing on the du
POnt Boulevard without lights Ham
mond was seriously injured. The ac-
cident occurred near the home of Mr..
Mccormick just west of Milford, be-
tween the Lake avenue entrance to
Milford and Haven Lake. The driver
of the truck told persons who arrived
at the scene of the accident shortly
after it had occurred that he had
stopped his truck to fix his lights
which had gone out. The car driven
by Hammond was badly wrecked and
the driver was caught in the wrecked
debris of the car. He was taken to
the Emergency Hospital where it was
found that his left leg was badly
crushed and the bone was fractured.
The Harrington boys were uninjured.
The driver Of the truck left without
known his identity. On Tues

that the Government would probably

PRISON BREAK FRUSTRATED
BY SHERIFF At SALISBURY
SIX DANGEROUS CONVICTS TEAR
WALL APART IN THEIR EFFORT
Loose Brick Gave the Clue and Ofic-
ers at Appointed Time Hold Pris-
Oners at Bay Until Subdued

Sheriff Murray Phillips at Sails
bury, Nd, frustrated an attempt at
Jail delivery there last Wednesday
night when he held six prisoners at
bay with drawn gun just as they were
about to leave the building. The half
dozen were believed to be the most
dangerous characters in prison, and
for that reason had been placed to-
gether in the Confinement cell" The
fall of brick with deep thud awak-
ened Sheriff Phillips, who sleeps near
the place where the men were incar-
cerated, and he Immediately rushed
outside the Jail, finding the place
where the men expected to make their
getaway. With assistants, he confin-
ed the men in another part of the
building
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the iron screening at the window of
the cell, heavy type screen, had been
completely torn from its fastenings
in the wall and at the time the men
were caught in their work they had
removed approximately 100 bricks
from the wall. 1t was their plan to
tear the wall down enough to allow
them to drop to the ground below. The
wall from which the bricks were re-
moved was built up high and the win
dow was in the top of the cell.
1t is understood officials of the Jail
attribute the plans for the escape to
Alfred Birmingham and George Beds
worth, white youths, awaiting hear
ing at the present Court of General
Sessions, on charges of larceny.
Juries for the past several years
have condemned the Jail, at their
sitting in the County Circuit Court.
1t is believed action will be taken i'm
medinately to have something definite
done in getting jail which will serve
its purpose.
