Prisoners of the Warren county lil may not have been born with silver spoon in their mouths, but :iey can get right far with the rdinary pewter type. I discoveri that early yesterday morning hen I went down to visit the : :unty cage to learn the particuirs of the escape Tuesday night. Jailer Lovell had carried me on tie inside to point out the hole beeath the partition of two cells 'hich was responsible for two men scaping. Of course, the hole had 10 business being there. We then rent up the second story where hree white men were locked in a ell. Addressing one of the men, Mr. lovell said, "I want to see you unick that door." The prisoner tcok one of the poons used for feeding purposes, lipped the handle end into the :ey hole and began to twist it back nd forth. After working about a ninute without results, a call came lcm across the hall telling Jailer .oven that he would unlock "his 'itnr if ho tironfori him tn We went over to that side where , tall, yellow negro began his work, ifter getting the spoon in the lole, and twisting the handle ack and forth and raising the [oor, the lock elicited and unprung. With cell door open, the icgro strolled back Co his bunk nd card game and bid a diamond. Free love in a jail house seems tnreascnable, but I was lead to beieve from talking with the prisoners that such had been the case n the local jail. The men didn't ieed' any automobile to go courttig; just give them a spoon. While /crking on his lock one of the i/hite prisoners said that he never ooled with them much, but "Jim" hould be here. "He could unock this door in a minute." Accrding to this prisoner, Jim used o unlock his door and roam all ver the jail, pay social calls, and hen lock himself up again before ime for Jailer Lovell to come round. By the use of thf spoon e could unlock a cellmates door s well as his own. We came down stairs and went nto a cell occupied by a young irl. The floor of her cell looked s if it wouldn't offer much reistance to a really bad man that raved freedom. Jailer Lovell has one adequate cor on his jail house and that is he outside entrance. Due to a afety device on the keyhole of this oor, it is almost impossible to ick this lock. However, this dcor as only been recently repaired. It would be an easy matter for risoners to spoon themselves out f their cells, attack Mr. Lovell as ,e came in, take his key to the nly door that offers them any reistance. and then make their way o freedom. 'WO PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM THE COUNTY JAIL Sam Alston and Morris Alston, egroes, stole their freedom from he Warren county jail on Tuesday ight during the supper hour by queezing through a hole under the etition that divided their locked ell from one unlocked and then ut of the back door of the main ntrance, which was not fastened, lutside the jail the men made ood their escape by running cross the field east of the jail. Although a chase was underaken, the men were soon envelopd by darkness and are still at hnvftf HPVimr ororo ioilpH fnr UL1 \JJ iUVJ "Viv aw* tealing cotton. According to Jailer Lovell he ad unlocked the outside door of he jail and carried the men their upper. Before going upstairs to ?ed the prisoners on the second loor he shook the outside door nd it appeared to be locked, but he door was only hard to move nd not fastened. When he had eached the upper story of the ail the prisoners worked their way hrough the hole in the partition elow the water fixtures, and then an out of the back door.
