was discovered by tho night guara
at 10:45 o’clock.
The convicts all managed to get
their shackles off and also to prize
one of the bars on the convict car
ofT. It is believed that-ihey had help
from* the outside, a» they were se
curely bound and *t is thought that
it would havo been almost impossi

easily and In such a short time.
The nien who made their escape
were Tom Sitnms, Willie Johnson,
John Cairo and Albert Williams, all
of them short termed prisoners.

When th e trnln reached this city
the conductor reported that four ne
groes had beaten their way to the
train reached the depot. He stated j
that they wer© wearing stripped
clothing and looked lik© convicts.
He intended to put the policemwn
