Jail Break At Vincennes County Jail Escapes Four Prisoners
Four inmates escaped from Vincennes County jail Friday morning about one o'clock. Sheriff Reynolds, alerted by his daughters, confronted the scene after which the escapees Parker and W Crane of Pike county on murder charges and Moses Wright James Carroll and Thomas Jacobs on larceny fled with burglar tools likely supplied by an outside party. One prisoner, Thos Finney, was caught in the act after stealing a horse two months prior. The jail had been condemned as unsafe by two grand juries and contractors had not completed repairs, exonerating the sheriff from blame. No further word has reached the press on the fugitives.
