A remarkable escape ' was made from the city Jail yesterday. Frank Taylor was waiting In durance vile to be sent to Klnston on a charge ot purloining certain articles of wearing apparel and marine instruments .from the boat of Captain Gouldlng. - At dinner time, Frank's ebon coun tenance beamed-u.pon ' the turnkey with a smile ot supreme contentment but the wily coon had a trick up his sleeve for all that. X About five o'clock the sheriff applied for the prisoner to take him to Kin ston for safe keeping until court'ln default ot bond, but upon opening the cell all he found was a hole and small one at that Frank was gone, He had taken leg bail. The hole did n't look large enough for-a child to crawl throilght was measured, eleven Inches one way, fourteen the other through a ten inch -wall. Frank was a grow n man of a hundred and fifty poundawelght, but he went through that hole for there was no other hole for Mm to go through, not even key hole. The door was fastened with a pad-lock.

' SpecialJSorrespondence. .; , -: : i .- Greensboro, N. C, September 21.- The statement made in this corres pondence in referring to the strange case of Frazier Jones, confined in Jail here since last December under sen tence of death, that the so-called case on appeal had never been; docketed in the Supreme court, was erroneous, the Information to that effect given by an officer being Incorrect. From an investigation of the records In the case the following seems to be the facts: . Frazier Jones, ; convicted of murdering his wife, at her home In Glbsonville, on last Thanksgiving day, n the day time, in the presence of leVerar persons, was in December sen tenced by Judge Moore to be hanged on January 15th! There was no case on appeal made up and docketed to he heard by the Supreme court when the cases" from the Judicial district were reached about tour months later. On January 23rd Frazier's attorneys served his case on the solicitor, who promptly filed his counter case. The record further shows that not until May , 12th did Judge Moore make up the case, it being marked, filed May 13, 1907. Of course this being after the Bu- premacourt had completed its., hear ins oi cases irom me tn, it - was neither docketed nor heard. - It was docketed promptly some time in June. The purpose of, this statement of the case of Frazier Jones Is not to at tach blame to any officer or Individual It ia to let those who desire to see flagrant, notorious, bloody crime pun ished, understand, from a case in point, that there are some mighty loose screws in the machinery of the criminal law, that need, tightening, and that future legislators may be considering how" best to furnish the wrench, In the shape ot a law. This wretch, was promptly ; tried, . Justly convicted.; and yet for nearly twelve months he remains in Jail at the ex pense of the taxpayers, against the peace and dignity of the State and the discredit of the administration of the law., ; An appeal takes to a mat ter of form, the case is allowed to lie dormant until after the Supreme court as passed the time, and not perfect ed until nearly five months, later, which necessarily makes a delay ot nearly twelve months, Without a pect ot Its being seriously- presented by the appellant when the Supreme court does hear it This practice which makes " the State Solicitor helpless and powerless to have the law administered, needs reforming somewhere, somehow. Mr. F. A. Tate Is the proud pos- sessof of a venerable terrapin, he found on the farm yesterday. The farm originally belonged to Mr. J. F. Harvey. He cut on the back of the terrapin ' nearly,'- fifty years' ago, the following. F. H. 1881." The let ters are distinct and the terrapin Is as lively as a cricket Vet . From the fact that the letters yet look frebh, Mr, Tate reasonably ' concludes that the terrapin, which is a very large one. was full grown In 1861, and must be a centenarian. He will be preserv ed for Greensboro's Centennial cele bration next year,- .,..-" The patronage last night of the car nival end theatricals of the Greens boro Civic League at Llndley Park was only limited by the limited and unsatisfactory service of the street car eompany. - Hundreds of people were unable to got transportation to he park,- and many who got there wished they hadn't because of almost desperation In getting back..
