Escaped From the Penitentiary at Columbia
A daring escape from the South Carolina penitentiary occurred last night. Murphy, convicted of the Orangeburg County treasurer murder, and Collins from Pickens county, a white burglar, fled with improvised rope from the steel cage on the third tier. They crossed the yard, scaled the west wall, and left a message on the top indicating they would meet again. Authorities pursue the fugitives.
