JAMISON EVIDENTLY CARRIED A REVOLVER

Bat Campbell Found One In Garden Through Which He Passed When Making Getaway. Evidently Louis Jamison, the Milroy township man who escaped from Officer Childers Saturday night, Aug. 28th, was aimed and prepared to defend himself in case it was necessary to do so> at the time of his arrest. Bert Campbell, who works for Hamilton A Kellner, found a 32-caliber revolver with five bullets in it, in a ■garden in rear of the Ben Oglesby property, and this was in the line of Jamison’s flight when Officer Childers was firing *at him. Whether Jamison had accidentally dropped it or whether he had thrown it away is not known. Of course, there is a chance that it was not even his, but this is not probable, for the circumstantial evidence is strong. The bicycle which John Jenkenson had stolen from his home in the same block that night, was found by its owner in the road near Jamison's farm home after it was advertised in The Republican. ■Dr. Hemphill and Trustee Wood went to the Sharon neighborhood Friday* afternoon and after stopping at the home of Charley Slaughter, where Mrs. Jamison was, called at the Jamison home. Jamison was asleep and Dr. Hemphill soon conyinced hi after he had awakened that he was there as a friend and Jamison ■bowed Mm his wound. A bullet had struck him below the ".nkle of one foot and was embedded in the foot. The foot was somewhat inflamed but Dr. Hephill thinks it will get all right. He stated that they had some money and provisions and did not want any aid from the trustee.
