Arkansas: Marion County, July 27, 1888 – newspaper article, headline “Jail Delivery at Harrison” -- |
|
|
|
“Up to Wednesday evening our jail contained five prisoners, A. J. Hudspeth, from Marion County, charged with murder; Floyd Chrisman, from Newton [County], found guilty of house burning; Doc Allen, of Boone [County], charged with buggery; Jno. [John] McAninch, of Boone [County], charged with larceny; and Wm. Middleton, of Boone [County], charged with assault to kill. Wednesday night, Jailer Clifford added another inmate in the person of John Middleton, charged with selling liquor. When breakfast was taken to them on Thursday morning, all were well on their way to "parts unknown." Yesterday morning young McAninch [“young”, late teens? early 20’s?] was captured some ten miles east of here, and, on being returned, explained how the escape was effected. … Hudspeth had invented a crooked wire whereby the staple, which being in the lock box was rarely padlocked, could be worked from its socket; and this being done, it was the work of but a few moments to slip the bar and walk from the cage, after which they cut a small hole from the brick of the east wall, and wiggled themselves to the outside. The jail is a good one, and our jailer careful in all his duties; so the escape, like most others of its kind, seems to have been due to a combination of circumstances and plans which were …fortunate and favorable for the prisoners.” |
