The Daily Dispatch: November 29, 1860., [Electronic resource], An opinion from Missouri. (search)
Desperate Negro --Assault and Escape.--Yesterday morning, officer Chalkley encountered a negro named Thomas Guinn, who represented himself to be free, but had no papers. The officer arrested him after a hard struggle, and conducted him to the watch-house, where he was placed in one of the cells. During the day the negro made frequent calls for water, which was supplied at proper intervals. In the afternoon, officer Page and Capt. Wilkinson were sitting in an adjacent apartment, and the negro continuing his calls, Mr. Page got up and went to his cell. As soon as the door was opened, the negro made a rush, knocked the officer down, and fled down the steps to the street. Capt. Wilkinson instantly followed, but was unable to overtake him, and he succeeded in making his escape, Mr. Page, who is old and feeble, was very badly injured and had to be conveyed to his residence in a carriage.
