Asheville, Aug. 20—Cutting through the bars of a window in the county jail by means of a saw believed to have been smuggled in by friends from the outside, five women prisoners, three white and two negroes, escaped early this morning. One of the white women later surrendered to the city police, saying she did not want to leave the city.
