PAGE SIX NO SHAVENOR 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.
