Prisoner Shot in Leg While Failing Escape From County Jail
Three prisoners attempted escape from Princeton county jail on May 27 by forcing through a window. Frank Taylor was shot in the leg and thigh but not seriously wounded and is in Princeton Hospital. Clarence Daugherty, a federal prisoner, was forced back by gunfire. Guards used shotguns and a pistol to halt the escape as neighbors watched. In a separate note, Willig Chambers became manager of the Matney service station on Thorn Street in East Princeton.
