Bob DUNCAN Recaptured (d. 1905)

Asheville, Oct. 23 — “If they don’t treat me well, I’ll break jail again,” quietly said Bob DUNCAN, who effected the jail delivery here last Sunday, and who was recaptured in this city yesterday afternoon. “You haven’t a jail in your State that will hold me,” he said. “I have been through five of them , and can walk out of another. The jailer was so good to me at Hendersonville that I really hated to leave him, but I needed fresh air.” DUNCAN talked with freedom and frankness of his escape and of his movements since.
