ESCAPE OF HORATIO CHISOLM 
 
Owing to the sickness of Gen. Gartrell, leading counsel for the prisoners, the 
case of the Chisolm's and others charged with the murder of Lambert in Haralson 
county did not come off as was expected last week. Late Friday evening, the 
deputy sheriff A.J. Hunt, with a guard, started to the place with the prisoners 
for the purpose of taking the cars the next morning for Atlanta, where they 
were to be incarcerated for safe keeping. When about half way between this 
place and Buchanan, Horatio Chisolm who was on the outside, all the prisoners 
being handcuffed together, managed to slip the hand cuff off at his wrist and 
make his escape. The guards, it is stated, fired at him, but without effect. 
The other prisoners were brought on to this place and all, except Gallamore, 
who was left here in our jail, were carried on to Atlanta the next morning.
