STUCK TO JAIL
Four Prisoners Refused to Follow When Companions Escaped
Brownstown, Indiana, August 5-Four prisoners escaped from the county jail at
this place. They were Harry McQueen of Mitchell, charged with robbing a
store at Seymour; John Craig and George Harris, charged with robbing a box
car at Seymour; and Tip Franklin, a robber. The men gained their liberty by
breaking an iron bed, using the pieces to pry off the iron bars, some of
which are an inch thick. Four other prisoners refused to leave with them.
