Mr. J.W. Davis says that the news item in Monday’s Robesonian in regard to the escape of Elzie Hill from the chain gang was incorrect in so far as his name was concerned, that the name of the guard is R.H. Davis. Mr. J.W. Davis says that he has not served as guard since last April, that time he had had charge of that since that time he had charge of teams up to the 14th of this month, since which time he has not been connected with the camp in any capacity.
From the front page of The Robesonian, Lumberton, N.C., Aug. 31, 1922. Some of the wording in the second sentence is a little awkward, but the reader will be able to figure it out. I’ve typed it in as it was written.
