Two inmates escaped from the Giles county jail Thursday morning. Lucas from near Newport had faced a killing charge, while a United States prisoner from the mining district was jailed for violating an injunction. Six men were in the cell. four stayed to stand trial, while Lucas and the other prisoner used a pocket knife to cut through a log and brick, descending 12 to 15 feet with bed clothes tied as a rope. Lucas had worked 19 days, and conspirators hid all evidence to fool the jailer. It was the jail’s first escape of this kind.
