Lenora McClain Escapes from County Home, Hospital, Aug. 28, 1923

Negress Escapes from County Home

Elnora McClain, negress, likes her freedom. At least her actions make it apparent that she does. Twice within the past two weeks she has made a dash for liberty, succeeding in her attempt to get away from her keepers only to be captured in a short time.

Her latest escape occurred Sunday, and Monday at 1 o’clock in the afternoon she had been caught. She will be carried back to the home.

About two weeks ago she complained of being sick and was carried to the colored hospital from where she made her escape. She remained free for only a short time, however.
