Jail Escaped from jail at 7:30 a. captured and locked up in cells at 4:25 p. m. Such was the brief freedom of Alex and Hubert Lindsay, who escaped from the Knox county jail Wednesday morning, after locking Mrs.

Woolison in the corridor and stealing two revolvers from Sheriff Woollson. The two men were captured by Sheriff Woolison and Officer McElroy and a posse of Centerburg citizens at 3:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the Bishop woods, one and a half miles south-west of Mt. Liberty. The Lindsays had thrown their revolvers away and were captured without offer. ing any resistance.

They are now locked in cells at the county jail--Alex on the first floor and Hubert on the second floor. Sheriff Woolison was hot on the trail of the two men immediately after their escape from jail. The first authentic word the sheriff received was late in the morning when he was told that the two Lindsays had entered the woods on the William R. Wing farm, south of Mt. Vernon, Later, another message came that the men had been seen entering the woods of Charles B.

Jackson in Milford township. Sheriff Woolison, Officer McElroy and Walter Lake, chauffour, hastened to the scene in an automobile. The officers entered the woods in company with Mr. Jackson. The men were traced from the Jackson woods into the Torrence Mitchell woods, then into the Wintermute, woods and then into the Bishop woods, where they were captured.

Shortly ofter the noon hour, Sherif Woolison discovered that the men were making rapid progress in their escape and accordingly telephoned to Centerburg to ask for assistance there and had a number of men start out and come east. Accordingly, Isaac Greek of Centerburg was sworn in as a deputy sheriff and, in company with Arthur Phillips, Guy Bishop and two other Centerburg men, left in an automobile on the road to Mt. Liberty. As the Centerburg party approached the Bishop woods, they saw a man standing near the fence. The men jumped out of the machine and started in the direction of the man.

Bishop drew a gun from his pocket and was the first to reach the man. It proved to be Hubert Lindsay. The latter stated that he was a resident of Columbus. In the meantime, Lindsay commenced to back into the woods, and at the same time Bishop chanced to look behind him when he discovered another man. This was.

Alex Lindsay. Bishop, alarmed for fear that he WaS about to be surrounded by the men, cried out for assistance and Arthur Phillips, with 8 shot gun, WAS the FOURTH WARD Parents And Teachers' Club Is Organized A large number of parents and teachers gathered at the Fourth ward school Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock for the purpose of ing a permanent Parents' and Teachers' club.

READ THE BANNER WANT ADS ADJUDGED INSANE For Second Time Was Woman Who Killed Her Husband Louisa Stull Taken To State Hospital, Columbus Other Items Of Interest From The Temple Of Justice Louisa Stull, who killed her first husband in 1906, and was sent to the state hospital, Columbus, for lunacy, was again declared insane in the Knox county probate court Wednesday afternoon and was again veyed to the Columbus state hospital. Mrs.

Stull was released from the hospital some time ago as cured, but recently her condition again became serious and on Wednesday an affidavit in lunacy was fled against her by her husband, Philip Stull, of Union township. The medical examination was conducted by Dr. T. E. Jefferson and Dr.

I. S. Workman. The examination showed that the woman is possessed of witchcraft and stated that she had the devil locked up in the smokehouse near her home. The examination also disclosed the fact that the woman wanted to be removed to the state hospital.

The fact was also brought out at the inquest that the woman killed her former husband in 1906, by cutting off his head with a hatchet while he was asleep. She was committed to the state hospital shortly afterwards under the name of Louisa Longbaugh, but after she had been at the institution several years she was discharged as cured. The woman was also at the Massillon state hospital for several months. She is 52 years of age. Mrs.

Stull was conveyed to the hospital Wednesday afternoon Court Bailiff Purcell. Foreclosure SuitJohn M. Hamilton has commenced a sult in the court of common pleas of Knox county against Jacob H.

He immediately obeyed. Just as the capture took place, Sheriff Woolison and Officer McElroy arrived from the opposite direction and the prisoner was turned over to the sheriff. While this was being done, Alex Lindsay eluded the officers and hid in a fence corner at the foot of the hill. The entire party started in search and soon found the other prisoner. He gave himself up without offering any resistance.

The two men were searched immedlately, but no weapons were found on them. Hubert Lindsay stated to the sheriff that he threw the revolver in a fence corner. He gave the location of the spot and the gun was found. Alex stated he threw the other revolved away, but could not remember the place. This revolver was not recovered.

The razor, which the men when they started could not be found. One of the Lindsays said that he lost the razor in a spring earlier in the day while getting a drink of water. The flashlight, which was also stolen from Sheriff Woolison, was found along the railroad track, uninjured. Sheriff Woolison was very much pleased over the capture of the two prisoners, but modestly gave all the credit to the Centerburg men. The Lindsays had very little to say after their capture.

Hubert remarked to Sheriff Woolison that it was a very foolish thing to do and that there was nothing gained. The men were locked in separate cells at the county jail and were given very little supper Wednesday night, although they said that they had had nothing to eat all day. On Thursday one of the other prisoners in the county Jail stated to the sheriff that he heard the Lindsays talking a day or so ago about ing from jail and that they even tended to make an attack on Sheriff Woolison with the razor, which had' been given them to shave with while in jail. It is likely that if the sheriff had taken breakfast in to the men Wednesday morning, he would have been attacked by the Lindsays as they had evidently made up their minds to make a dash for liberty Wednesday morning. The other prisoners in the county jail stated Thursday morning that they have been afraid of the Lindsays ever since they have been confined in jail.

Sheriff Woolison stated Thursday that he would keep the prisoners locked in a cell day and night until their trials come up in common pleas court at the April term, which convenes on the 12th day of that month. The point at which the Lindsays were captured was only about a quarter of a mile from the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad. It is the belief of Sheriff Woolison that the two men were endeavoring to reach the railroad when captured. There is a steep grade just east of Centerburg and freight trains are compelled to run slow at this point. The Lindsays knew this and intended to jump a freight train and make a get- away.
