Beaufort, Nov. 27—Sawing their way through the bars of a back window, two unidentified white men tonight delivered Early Perry, 19-year-old white youth held on a liquor charge, from the Carteret county jail, and escaped with him in a new Ford coupe. Prisoners in the jail saw the delivery and informed the jailer, who was away from home at the time.
Local police officers who had been notified and were on the lookout for the Ford, went to James City to stand guard. The machine, they said, passed them “wide open” and turned out the old Pollocksville road, escaping.
