Middle Ga. Argus – Week of October 6, 1891
On Friday about two o’clock while Sheriff Beauchamp was carrying two colored 
prisoners from the jail to the court house to be tried for the trivial offense 
of fighting and shooting at each other, one of them called Will Dorsy broke 
away and made his escape.  It is not the custom of Mr. Beauchamp to hand cuff 
his prisoners, and having another one in charge could not leave him and was 
compelled to allow the scape goat fly away right before his eyes.  It was 
amusing to see the Negro jump as he dashed away through the Presbyterian church 
grove.  He has not yet been heard from.
