Ten negroes escaped from the city convict stockade west of Greene Hill cemetery Sunday afternoon. Police are searching for them. The men sawed a hole in the bottom of the house in which they were quartered. The men who escaped are Joe Mitchell, Robert Lynch, Sam Allen, James Edwards, Ernest Simmons, Ed Caldwell, Nelson Simmons, Miller Chavis, Amos Adams and Robert Patterson. They were all one-year prisoners.
