Grover Taylor, one of the six prisoners who escaped last February in a wholesale jail break from the Cherokee jail, was apprehended last Thursday night at Clarksville, Ga., and brought back to this county by Sheriff B.B. Morrow.
Sheriff Morrow located Taylor and had Sheriff Willbanks to take him into custody.
Taylor, who escaped last February with six other prisoners, was captured and committed to jail, only to escape again the same day. He had been at large since that time. He made bond for his appearance at the next term of the General County Court.
George Bryant, charged with a misdemeanor, is the only one of the six escaping who still remains at large.
