Unscrupulous escape plan surrounds Bryson City trial
A fragmentary report describes two men with saw blades attempting to break free. Their wives were briefly arrested and later released as authorities pursued the case. The 22 year old Garland faced custody with custody questions arising in Cincinnati and Macon as the December term approached.
Scrambled Notes From An Ancient Column
Fragmentary garbled text appears to describe scattered names and places with unclear meaning. The legible elements hint at a dated column or notice mentioning people perhaps and locations like Piatt and Sage, but details are indeterminable from the jumbled OCR. The piece lacks a coherent event or clear subjects to define a proper summary.
