upon the statements of an advertiser

before the public makes the former
more circumspect he feels a greater

The daring escape of TJtlev from thp
jail at Fayetteville Monday night last
created a sensation all over the State
His cell door was found locked and a
dummy in his cot, while a hole cut in
the flooring under the stairs, showed
tne method of egress.
The County Commissioners imme
diately had an investigation and the
testimony given by a negro prisoner
was to the effect that an armed man.
presumably a friend of Uttvry's. had en
tcred the jail in the dead of night, and
arter first threatening the negro with
aeath if he gave an alarm, bribed him
with $50 to keep his own counsel. This
money was found on the negro, as well
as $10 cf Utley's money, in possession
oi a negress, also a prisoner. Utley left
a note to his uncle asking for a loan
and bidding his relatives good bye. As
it was obvious that the bribery had
not stopped with the prisoners the
jailer wa.i suspended pefading an in

The County Commissioners offered a
reward of $400 for Utley and yesterday
the Governor supplemented this by an
