Ashland Progress December 20, 1918
Armon Campbell and Doc Wood, two negro prisoners, escaped from the county jail 
here Monday night and have so far not been recaptured. They in some way secured 
the necessary aid from the outside and sawed into the steel bars of the cell 
thereby making their exit sometime during the night. The Campbell negro was 
charged with the murder of another negro at Williams mines some time ago and Wood 
was being held for desertion. Two other prisoners were in the jail but made no 
effort to escape. Since the delivery was made another negro, a man named Dennis 
father-in-law of Campbell has been arrested, charged with aiding the prisoners to 
escape.
