Ii Prisoners Refuse To Leave Jail

Maurice "City Slick" Brown
and five other prisoners, all Ne
groes, escaped from the Bolivar
County Jail Monday evening &C
cording to reports received here
Monday night. Maurice came to
Mound Bayou last summer and
was nicknamed City Slick" by
Caesar Thompson. When he first

claiming to be his relatives gave
his name to a Southern Advocate
reporter as J. B. Brown. Later, he
gave his name to the same report
er as Maurice Brown. City Slick"
is also known as Benny Maurice
and Benny McCurd.
"City Slick" was in j a i on
charges of sending extortion letters
to Mayor B. A. Green, demanding
100000. Several Mound Bayou
ians are in suspense because of
threats he is said to have made to
some of the prosecutions witnesses.
Of the other five prisoners who
escaped, four of them were under
seven year sentences. Eleven other
prisoners in the bull pen refused to
esca2e when the six lured the COL
ored jailer into the cell through a
ruse and threw a blanket over his
head. Throwing the jailer on the
floor, the six fled through the court
room and escaped. The other five
who escaped had given their names
as James Barney, Ben Byars, Har-
ris Brown, John Bradley and Jim
Smith.
