A Desperate Murderer.
Harvey Speck one year ago killed a mine boss in
Walker county, Ala. Only one man saw the tragedy and Speck deliberately shot him to death with a Winchester and
fled to Texas. He was located by a detective of Birmingham, Ala., and brought back to Russellville and subsequently
broke jail. He was captured again the other day. and while being taken to jail made a desperate break for liberty.
Five shots were fired at him, and he was brought to earth. [Aug 26, 1893
