GOES ON HUNGER STRIKE Mrs. Sweetin Shows Marked Signs Oi
 Insanity

SALEM, H., Sept. 25.-Continued refusal to partake of food, coupled with the strenuous events of the last three days and loss of sleep, tonight had cast Mrs. Elesie Sweeten, held here on a charge of having poisoned her husband, Milford Sweeten, into a state of semi consciousness and jail attendants sug- gested taking her to a hospital if she showed no immediate improvement.
 Symptoms of her mind having be- come impaired since confessing that she poisoned her husband at the instigation of the Rev. Lawrence NJ. Flight, who, in turn, poisoned his wife so that they could be married, have become notice able. Relatives who called on her this afternoon, it was said, were hardly recognized by the prisoner
 In addition to repentance felt for her act, which Mrs. Sweeten has readily ad- mitted, worry over the future of her three little boys has been her chief con cern. Repeatedly she has asked to see the boys and again and again she men, tioned them in conversation with wis itors. 4. Distinct waning of her feeling for the minister is-Eeflected by her re- marks regarding him.

 ARE SOUGHT BY HOUNDS Tunnel Made While Con- federates Watched
 Guards SHERIFF'S OFFICE CHECKING NUMBER One Negro Recaptured After Chase Through
 Brush ESCAPES BELIEVED BOUND FOR RAILWAY Hole Through Which Delivery Was Made Discovered
 Near Fanshaft
 
ESCAPES BELIEVED BOUND FOR RAILWAY

Patiently digging their way to freedom over a period of several weeks, an undetermin- ed number of prisoners escap- ed Thursday through the roof of the Flat Creek prison mines. Bloodhounds and posses were immediately put on the trail of the fugitives, but only one, a negro, had been re-captured at a late hour Thursday night.
 A report from Flat Creek was to the effect that the es- capped prisoners numbered twenty-five. Buddy" Harris. the negro re-captured, told of- ficers that there were only four others besides himself. The exact number, or the identity of the prisoners, will not be known until a check has been completed by the sheriff's office.
 The delivery is said to have been the result of careful plotting extending over period of weeks. The prisoners ap- parently took turns at digging the out let, officers said, while their confeder- ates shouldered an extra share of work and kept a watch for the guards. All of the prisoners were in mining clothes when last seen, and are believed to be headed toward the railroads with the intention of beating their way out of this section of the country.
 Harris was caught after an exciting chase througl the brush in which off cers followed the keen-scented blood hounds. The dogs located the negro and he was taken without trouble. A negro whom deputies believed they identified as Willie Mccall is said to have been with Harris at the time. He was To- cated by the dogs, but eluded the offi-s cers. The hounds are still on the me- gro's trail, deputies said.
 The delivery was first discovered by some men working around the fan shaft who discovered the tunnel the prisoners had dug. Hounds were brought to the scene immediately. q.

MA FERGUSON TO KNOW FATE
 NEXT MONDAY
Judge Calhoun Withholds Decision-Party Ruin
 Tinted
tBy Associated Press)

AUGUSTA, Texas, Sept. 25.-Deci- sion on whether Mrs. Miriam A. Fergu- son will be permitted to remain the democratic candidate for governor of Texas, will be announced next Monday at 10 a. m., Judge George c. Calhoun announced at the close of arguments in the case shortly before noon today.
 The hearing ended with an argument by Judge I. w. Stephens of Fort Worth, representing the plaintiff, Charles M. Dickson of San Antonio.
 Replying to the charge of Mrs. Fergu- sons attorneys that the granting of the injunction would wreck the Democratic party and deny it "a governor, Judge Stephens said he would rather wreck the Democratic party than destroy that solemn and sacred document known as the constitution of Texas. ... 2 ,-s j, < voted For Her X
 5s'I voted for Mrs. Ferguson" said Judge Stephens. I swallowed a bitter pill We were confronted with the necessity of choosing between the evils. But am now trying to see that our constitution is yindieated.
 "When the primary law was first suggested, my friend A. J. Hood of Weatherford. predicted that the primary would ruin the partysI l believe his prophecy has come true. And if this lawsuit does nothing more than bring about a wrecking of the primary, if it does away with the necessity of ever again making the choice that confronted us in the last primary, I say our work will not have been in vain."
 Contrary Rulings .
 Court rulings of Missouri and Massa- chusetts may finally decide the case. In a case known as the H0stetter case, the Missouri court ruled that women had the right to hold public office. This is relied on as one of the leading au- thorities for the defendant. In an ap- parently contrary holding, Massa- chusetts court held that a. woman did not have legal right to hold public ex- eeutiye office. The plaintiff relies on this as his leading precedent. Judge Stephens told the court that the Mis- souri case was decided after that state had passed a special enabling act re- moving the bar against women.
