CONVICT IS SHOT
TRYING TO FLEE
ANDREWS CAMP
Two Others Wounded
By Shotgun Blast As
The yLie In Bunks
Sighted as he attempted a jail break
from his cage at the Andrews Prison
camp shortly after midnight last
Wednesday morning. Marshal Jordan |
a prisoner sent to the roads from Gra-'
ham county was shot in the arm and
back by Prison Guard Oscar Duck- j
worth, and had to be hurried to Pe- '
trie hospital, in Murphy. Though
painfully wounded, attending physicians
said he probably wouldrecover.
Gibson was struck by a charge of
buckshot fired from a shot gun. Leaden
pellets either from the same, or
second blast also wounded the other
two prisoners who were lyinj in
their bunks in the same cage from
which Jordan attempted his getaway.
"Batwing" Gibson, of Graham was
slightly wounded in the back, and
Porter Williams, also of Graham, wac
wounded in the hand. They, too,
were taken to Petrie hospital, but
I after their wounds had been dressed,
they were returned to the prison
camp.
According to one of the prisoners,
the shooting occured about one
I o'clock Wednesday morninu- .I?rHun
somehow, had potton possession oi
a hacksaw which he hid until the night
of his attempted break. Then, aftei
the other inmates of his cage were ?11
asleep he sawed through the slender
iron lattice work of the cage, about
two feet from the ground.
It is believed he also had secreted
a piece of fat meat with which he
greased his saw frequently to pre
vent it from squeaking. At any rate,
working so quietly that none of his
fellow prisoners awakened, he managed
to cut a hole barely large enough
to crawl through. Then, getting on
his stomach he squirmed through to
the outside.
Prison Guard Duckworth not only
was on his alert, but happened to be

facing the cage when the prisoner I
crawled through. As the latter rose
to his feet, the Guard is reported to
have ordered him to halt. 1
Whether Jordan was too startled I
io o ey instantly or whether he chose ?
to make a break for it is not known. I
An instant later there were two blasts *
from the shot gun. According to
Jordan's fellow prisoner, who told of
the frustrated break. Guard Duckworth
also fired from his revolver,
but ho is believed to have fired either f
into the air. or into the ground, large- j
ly as a warning to other prisoners, J
because he did not know how a big1 .
hole had been sawed in the cage, 01 j
whether any others might try to es- .
cape. None of the revolver shots
came even close to hitting anyone;?
and Duckworth, reputedly is a dead i
j shoe. 1
Whether the first or second shot i
gun blast struck Jordan also is not ;
known. According to a fellow prison- or.
he did not fall. Instead he i
straight ened up. clasped his right arm I
with his left hand and called: |i
"bon't shoot any more. Cap? you*- I *
ve already shot my hand off."
Actually the buckshot had pene
viatvu iu? uchk?inouKn not deeply
enough to make a mortal wound?and
his arm near the elbow. The numbness
from tho latter wound, probably !
made him think his hum! was gone.
The Prisoner is said then to have *
raised his hands above his head, and
stood motionless while Guard Duckworth
walked up to him. Never once. I
it is said, did he either cry out, or
even moan.
The other two prisoners, who had
been wounded while lying in theii
hunks, did cry for help, however, and
the cage was unlocked, and they were
brought out.
All three wounded men were placed
in the patrol wagon and rushed
to the hospital. All three, including
Jordan walked to the wagon and
climbed in without assistance.
An investigation is said to be under
way seeking to learn where Jordan
secured his hacksaw.
