Greensboro, Sept. 11—The escape of two desperate negro prisoners from Guilford county jail was narrowly averted here at 5:30 this morning. The third, held for forgery, made his escape.
Bud Lindsay, High Point negro, charged with the murder of his wife by saturating her clothing with kerosene and then igniting it; and Berry Sanders, also of High Point, charged with an attempt to dynamite the safe of the High Point Savings & Trust Company, were the two negroes prevented from escaping. Leonard Whiteley, local negro charged with forgery, made his getaway.
County officials declare there was a well-organized plot to escape from the jail, located on the fourth floor of the county’s million dollar building.
