lat* Tuesday and it was rumored
here, and with some foundation it
is thought, thnt at that time he had

About 5:3ft o’clock he wa* placed
irt the bottom of a small touring car
in charge of Deputies Simmon* and
Vardaman and the run t6 Dallas was
started. The officers went north
from the jail and across to Bell Ave-
nue nnd then to the McKinney road
nnd thence to Little Elm and from
there to Dallas. They were avoiding
the LewDrrille country as much as
possible. , ,
Removal of the negro had virtual)-
