AN ADROIT ESCAPE:
Levoir. S. C., March, B.—One .of
‘the most adroit escapes known in
criminal history was effected - here
by lucky Joe Wilson, a famous
chief of a gang of desperados in
ffcsting this state. Wils;? was, aftep
Lmzmy fights, canght, and after a
trial sentenced to 10 years in the
penitentiary. On Tuesday his cotn
sel obtained an appeal to the Su
preme court. Barly this moriing
the warden of the jail enteredt his
cell and found Lucky Joe lying on
his mattress, which was suffused
with blood, as was the prisoner’s
shirt and moutl. His cyes were
wide open staring, his jaws tallen
and his limbs cold. Help was sum
moned and the body was carried
from the cell into an outhouse and
laid out for burial and placed in a
plain coffin. :
The mother mnd sister of the de
ceased stood by the coffin and wail
ed his untinfely énd. At dusk this
'evening, when every one had left
the apartment gave his sistcF, she
was horrified to secthe corpse
rige from the coffin, put s hands
omiouslykon his Yips and bolt from
the room into the night she
i sereamed and f:il,ill‘[()(l. The ruse was
not di:;(:ovur(;fl' until an hoyr after
Lucky Joe hdd succeeded in elu
ding all pursdit. A visit to his cell
showed how artfully the exéape had
Ibeon plannéd. Wilson had killed a
chicken and covered himself with
the bloodind fripping dpen the
mattress corcealed - the
chicken in it. He had seraped in a
lot of snow and ice from the cell
window and ket his hand# and faet
well Hfrozeit in it up to the fime
when he heard :fomsteps in the cor
rider, when he thrown it in a buck-"
‘@b, Therefore, wheh the jailer en
tered he f<>l_ul;ff the man’s sect and I
hands so cold as to leave no doubt
of the prisoner? death.
A FRANKLIN COUNTY RO

About the thonth of July, 1872,
there came to this county from
Knoxville, Tenn., a neatly dressed
geriteel looking young man, whe
from his general appearance, had
¢ idently beefi raised in gond soci

Stafford and took up his abode in
the settlexiéint of Sc\\'ell'}{ gchool

him friend¢ with all whot§ he met.

[SLAND SHOALS GEORGIA.
On an adjoining fwrn Mr. Sam-
McDaniel, a young farmer, was
inthe field plowing. Hiz plow
canght if some obstricetion. Urging
the mule, he found that the plow
caughtin the handle of five gallon
jug, which was slowly pulled out of
the ground. The jug had a cork
stopper sealed wax; and a piece of
tin doubled over it, with a wire
fastened round it, snaking it per
fectly secure. McDanicl was anx
ious to krow what was inthe jug,
$o "taking hig heelscrew off his
plow and twisted off the wire.
This enabled him to take out the
cork. He then placed the Jug on a
‘stumyp, and applyirg his lips tasted
the best brandy he' ever saitipled.
So captived was he that he drank
several times, dnd at last the lig
wor overcomidg hiih, he slipped
down asleep at the foot of the
stump. Failing to coute to dinner,
his mother wenlt to the ficld aftter
himt, when he was about waking
up. They gave the jug andther
examination, when Mrs: M-
Daniel’B attention was dttracted to
its grest weight. An ilivestigition
showed the preghnee df 1,900 five
dollar goid piecs, nlaking 4 total
of s6s(h. ;
" The mystéry was clearedup ina
singuar manner. McDaniels grand
father was a captdin in the [Flori
da war. It was known that he was
wealthy before he left. On news of
his deatli in one of the battles with
‘the Indians, his heits could find
no track of his money. The fact
years aftér his only grand-¢on and
heir should hate his foitune is a
singular incident. The finding of
this jug léads td the hope that there
may be others, and the pliyving of
that field is watched with interest.
