Although diligent search has been made all day the harifrs office has no trace of George Lee Thorhe, alias W. A. Hilton, who escaped yesterday from the Clarke county Jail with the aid of a mani cure file. The discovery of his escape, coming as it did the following morn leg, gave him iconsiderable time in which, to place distance between him self and the authorities, even though he had no money. The manner ia which he made hi3 escape was quite sensational and it is believed that it vtas done shortly alter the prisoners had been fed. None of the prisonersJiow in the Jail will ad- Ufii 1 1 having seeri him leave the cor ridor, and all deny having seen him filing nway at t;he bolt, which, when f.led off, allowed him his liberty. T.home Was Overbearing. Thorne, according to the other pris oners, was overbearing and intimated at times that he was considerably bet ter than the other Inmates and should not have been confined with them. Re cently ha picked quarrels with two of the prisoner and- alnce that time was left alone. The appearance of the bolt this morning Indicated that Thorne had been working at R for some time. This ho could have dne without detection by the authorities, because the re moved bolt was on an inside door and screened from view, except from tho interior of the Jail, by a solid steel door. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Johnson was asked to get some hot water for one of the prisoners. Befone leaving to get the water he locked tlie inner door and al lowed the outer door to remain open. Thorne, when the opportunity pre sented itself, removed the bolt holding the bar lock hinge together and re placed It after he had escaped from the corridor. , Another Answered Soil Call. That some of the other prisoners knew that Thorne was about to escape It general Belief. When Deputy Sher iff Blair went to look the men up in their cells last night one of them re sponded for Thorne when the ques tion was asked iX he were there. Thorne could not have worked at the bolt during the night as he was locked up with the other prisoners. His trial for passing a worthless check on a local merchant had been set lor Friday, May 12.
