Last night about 10 o'clock at Fifth and Castle streets Policemen D. A. Rowan and Frank George arrested Henry Fullard, a negro about 20 years eld, for stealing a chicken from Wil liam Sampson, colored, who lives on Fifth street between Church land Cas tle streets. Fullard had been boarding with Ramrrsorii anc ; last nieht he was on Castle street trying to sell a. chicken. He was arrested and when asked where he got the chicken he said hat Sampson let him have it. He was. taken to Sampson, and when he was faced he acknowledged that he stole it. Sampson was also short a duck and no doubt his boarder had sold it last night before he wa3 caught. Sergeant C. W. Woolard brought Fullard down to the station house and when he was searching him he dis covered that the negro had convict shackles on both legs. They were con cealed underneath his pants and would never have been noticed. He told the police authorities that he - escaped about five weeks ago from the chain gang in Horry county, S. C. He -said he was serving a term for fighting, bu In all probability Sit was for something else. The authorities there will be notified. J Fullard said that after escaping from the chain gang he took an axe and cut the chain from the shackles, but as the shackles were iron and were locked around his leg so he could not cut them off wrthout cutting his leg. he was waiting or some other oppor - tunity of getting them cut oft.
