100 YEARS AGO Sept. 1, 1917

■ Mrs. Rachel Elrod, aged 76, who lived with her son, Herman Elrod, at Benton, and whose son, George A. Elrod, lived at 4914 West Twenty-third street, Little Rock, mysteriously disappeared from the home of her son at Benton about five weeks ago, and has not been seen or heard from since. When she left her son’s home he supposed that she had gone to the home of her son in Little Rock. Yesterday Mrs. George Elrod called her brother-in-law at Benton over long distance telephone and inquired about her mother- in- law. Then it was discovered that the aged woman was missing.

LAKE VILLAGE — Chicot County Sheriff Max Brown captured a prisoner Monday from Cummins Prison Farm a little more than three hours after he had escaped from the penitentiary. Sheriff Brown identified the man as Leroy Fuller, about 35, who was serving eight years for burglary from Desha County. The sheriff said that Fuller reportedly had taken a prison truck to Dumas to have it worked on when he escaped. He had left the truck and gotten into a car with a girl friend who lived at Dumas.

■ A man charged with capital murder in the shooting last September of John Scott, 15, of Little Rock pleaded guilty Monday to a reduced charge of second degree murder. Ronald Jones, 36, was sentenced to 35 years in prison, to run consecutively with a 38-year term he is serving for parole violation, Pulaski County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Mark Breeding said. Jones was on parole for burglary when he allegedly killed Scott — who police said was not the intended victim — in a gun fight near 23rd and Gaines streets Sept. 12.

PINE BLUFF — Anna Clark stood quietly Friday at her formal sentencing after she heard that she was headed to prison for having sex with an inmate under her care as a prison psychologist. She acted much differently after a Lincoln County jury convicted her of two counts of third-degree sexual assault on Aug. 15. Clark screamed at deputies, prison officials and an Arkansas State Police investigator and then swallowed a fistful of prescription pills before being removed from the courtroom to a waiting ambulance.
