Escaped Prisoner Is Back Behind Bars, Oct. 14, 1920

John Jones, colored, who broke jail last winter and again three weeks ago, is once again in durance vile, and safely behind the jail bars. Deputies Reynolds and S.E. Covington, with Sheriff Patterson of Bennettsville captured John about half a mile from Fletcher's siding, across the State line, Monday night about 8 o'clock, at Willis Bell's home. John had been picking cotton there. (From the front page of the Rockingham Post-Dispatch, Oct. 14, 1920)
