Sexton Makes a Sensational Escape

By the Associated Press

Wilmington, N.C., May 19—E.H. Sexton, serving nine months on the roads for driving an automobile while intoxicated, made a sensational escape this morning. He has not been recaptured. As an automobile in which his wife is said to have been riding passed the road gang, Sexton jumped on the running board. Seven miles from the city the pair is said to have taken to the woods and embarked on a motorboat on Northeast River.
