Bill Miner, most famous convict In the Georgia penitentiary, escaped once more from the state prison farm near Milledgeville and today is at large with officers throughout middle Georgia hunting him Miner took with him W. J. Widencamp, serving a life sentence for a killing in Tattnall county, and W. M Wiggins, sent up for a year from Tattnall for carrying a pistol. Miner, or George Anderson, as he calls him self was serving 20 years for holding up and robbing a. Southern railway passenger train in Hall county, be tween Gainesville and Toccoa, early in 1911. Chairman Puts Blame on Guards. Chairman R. E. Davison, of the state prison commiseion. blames the escape of Minor and the two other convicts to criminal carelessness of Charles Jenkins, night guard, and Sto vall. night floor walker. "Had these two men been doing their duty," said Chairman Davidson, “it appears to me that it would have been absolutely impossible for these men to have gotten away; particularly 'Bill' Miner, who was chained to a con crete post in the center row of cots and within .about twenty feet of Jen kins. The fact that the convicts forced their way through Iron bats three quarters of an inch thick under the glare of 25 electric lights, proves that Stovall also could not have been doing his He is not supposed to sit down at all during the night, but to walk continuously up and down the large sleeping room and count his pris oners every hour." The escape of Miner is the second since he was arrested and convicted, March 15. 1911. for the Hall county holdup. He escaped from the prison farm October 17, 1911, and was recap tured and returned to the farm Novem ber 5. less than a month later. Whether or not he will be retaken this time is a question. Miner and Widencamp sawed their way to liberty. Wiggins, being a short termer. was not so securely shackled. It was easy for him to follow the lead of the two long-termers. Miner was double shackled to his iron cot and to a post on the second floor of the new prison building. He sawed the shackles from his legs, and then, with a bed slat, pried the iron bars from a window. Through this opening he let himself to the ground by a rope made of bed clothing. Widen camp sawed the shackles from his legs and followed Miner to liberty. Wiggins went along when the way to freedom was open. WIFE, THREATENING TO SHOOT HUSBAND, IS.

DRY Senate Bill Provides Levy of $1,000,000 a Year on Liquor Dealers. A state revenue tax as a solution of the liquor problem, which the author says will net the state $1,000,000 a year, is provided in a bill Introduced in the senate today by Senator J. H. Felker, of the Twenty-seventh district, and formed the principal mater of Interest in the upper house. The house of representatives receiv ed two bills from the Atlanta delega tion for the aid of Georgia Tech, one appropriating s2o,ooo’for a new heating and power building, and the other in creasing the appropriation for this year from $75,000 to SBO,OOO. It spent most of the session in a heated debate over an ancient claim offered by the heirs of Sherman J. Sims, deceased. Any person, firm or corporation re ceiving or having in their possession beer, wines, whisky, brandy or other spirituous liquor* will be liable for a state tax, if these bills become laws. All railroad, express companies or oth er common carriers will be required to report all shipments of liquors within the state. Provides Printing Os Liquor Stamps. The schedule of taxes is 10 4'ents a gallon on beer or near-beer, 25 cents a gallon on wines and $1 a gallon on whisky, brandy or other such liquors. The bills provide for the printing of state liquor stamps in these denomi nations and their distribution by the comptroller general ot superior court clerks in all counties, who will be the state’s selling agents or stamp clerks. The common carriers are required to file with the ordinary of each county a record of all liquor shipments to con signees in that county, and this record is made prima facie evidence on which the superior court clerks can require the purchase of stamps. Punishment for violation of these acts is fixed at that prescribed for mis demeanors. The bills were referred to the committee on temperance. Felker Bill Intended As Prohibition Measure. Senator Felker said today that his bills were not designed as revenue measures, but prohibition measures. The senator believes the tax on liquors, called for by the bills, will make drink ing prohibitive and will put thousands of blind tigers out of business. The Fulton delegation offered a bill to appropriate $20,000 for the Georgia School of Technology to erect and equip a heating, lighting and power plant upon the campus. It also offered a bill raising the appropriation for the school this year SBO,OOO instead of $75,000.
