(copied with permission)
Marion Co AR Newspaper Abstract

Marion County, Arkansas

- Mountain Echo Newspaper

July 1886 through August 1886

*******************************************************

Sheriff Poynter spares neither pains nor money to bring offenders to justice.

*******************************************************

Mack Merriott escaped from custody last Friday night. He was being guarded by Charlie Covington, and pretended that his wound was very painful, and begged the officers to not put him in jail. Friday evening about dusk he pulled off his boots, coat and hat and stepped out at the door. A moment afterward Charlie stepped out and saw Mack jump over the fence about fifty yards away. This was the last ever seen of him. Sheriff Poynter has searched the whole county for him and has sent his description in every direction and will do everything to his power to effect his recapture.
