Spec- Roy Milton, who began a five-year sentence in the Colquitt chaing&ng, yesterday on a burglary charge, seem# to have had a very spectacu lar and checkered career. He woe kind enough, or rather had the effrontery, to tell Mr. C. B. GC-j more, superintendent of the roads, that his stay in this county would b« ▼ wry limited. Milton, who talks Use a man of more than ordinary intelligence, and who appears to be about twenty- six years old, admits that he has figured in three sensational escapes from state prisons. His first sen tence was for murder, and he was given twenty years. After three days, an avenue of escape, though a very dangerous one, presented itself and he was gone. Then followed another sentence of ten years for train robbery. Twenty-four hours covered the time spent in the next prison. And again he fell into the clutches of the law. This time bur glary was the charge and he was handed a seven-year term. Tnis time he was not bo fortunate and had to wear a zebra suit for several weeks before making get-away. Milton declines to state just where the state prisons were located. But a hobo, who happened to fall in the toils of the law and was placed in the Thomas county Jail with Milton the day before he was' brought here, recognised him as being the man who left and carried his tracks with him from 3ing Sing in New York state. Mr. Gilmore has writ ten the authorities there and for warded them a description of Mil-1 ton. Milton refuses to divulge thei name of his native state and when questioned as to his relatives maintained nilen^e. He dots admit, however, that Milton is an assumed name. He stands a poor chance of fleeing from the local convict camp, as ho is wearing shackles and is always kept under close surveilance.— Moutlrie Observer.
