MARSHAL IDENTIFES
THE ESCAPED NEGRO
Our readers will remember an
item in these columns a few
weeks ago reciting the theft of
a case of eggs from the depot,
of the subsequent arrest of the
culprit and his escape from the
calaboose by burning a hole
through the floor.
Last Saturday City Marshal
Dickinson went to Georgetown
on official business and while en-
gaged in his duties shown thro
the jail by Sheriff Allen. While
on this tour of inspection Mar-
shal Dickinson recognized among
the, prisoners his long lost egg
thief Lee Turner. The recogni-
tion was mutual.
It seems that "Mistah" Tur-
ner was desirous of getting be-
yond the clutches of Marshal
Dickinson and sought transpor-
f nftnri hv mpnnn nf frf-itrhf trains.
LpFvt Williams( n county officers snared
fj - him at Ware station and with
tne assistance oi jviarsnai ijick-
inson, Turner is now charged
with two offenses against the
dignity of the law.
