BATHJN 6 MOS
Unusual Prisoner Held
In Clarke County Jail
For Murder
ATHENS, Sept. IS.—After lying
in jail, refusing to bathe or shave
since March 9, Wesley Brown, white
was this week taken out of the cell
in Clark county jail in which Sheriff
Walter Jackson had been forced to
seal him and carried back to Elbert
county for trial in the term of court
now in session on charge of murder.
Brown was brought for safe-keep
ing to the Clarke jail in March, after
having been captured in South Caro
lina nearly two years after he was
alleged to have committed the crime.
After he was locked up he found a
way to open the door of his cell and
get out into the cage vdhich sur
rounds the rows of cells.
Sheriff Jackson at that time order
ed him to stay where he was put and
Brown promised “To break out if he
possibly could.” The sheriff accept
ed the challenge with a reply that he
would prevent his escape, “if he pos
siby could.” After Brown had brok
en several padlocks which were at
tached as a precaution to his cell
door, Sheriff Jackson sealed the door.
It was necessary to remove the top
of the cell to release Brown this
week.
As the prisoner had torn out the
electric wiring in his cell early in his
incarceration, according to officials
of the court house, he had lived in
the dark for a large part of the six
months he remained in jail here.

Service First

Sales Third
There’s our policy in a nutshell.
First—When a customer comes in, find out what HE
wants Give him satisfaction at the lowest charge consist
ent with a good, thorough job.
Second—Tell hipi how to prevent battery trouble. We’re
not anxious to repair his battery, except to make it last
longer.
Third—When he really needs a new battery we want him
to buy it from us, naturally, and to buy a Willard with
Threaded Rubber Insulation—because that battery will
last longer and give him less occasion for expense on re-’
pairs than any other battery he cay buy.
Come in and find out the wonderful service records of Wil
lard Batteries with Threaded Rubber Insulation.
