Pap tries to kill Huck because he is angry that Huck has money and refuses to give it to him. Pap feels entitled to use Huck's money for alcohol and believes that Huck owes it to him. This demonstrates Pap's selfish and abusive nature towards Huck.

Did Jim try to escape In the adventures of huckleberry Finn?

He found an old saw blade in the cabin and cut out a hole for him to sneak through when pap was gone. One day when pap left, he finished cutting through the hole and got out. He emptied the cabin of all supplies worth anything, and then staged his own murder so that nobody would go looking for him. He did this by axing the door of the cabin and using the blood from a pig he killed to make it look like he had been killed. He then used a sack of heavy rocks to make it look like a body had been dragged to the river and, lastly, he made a trail of corn meal to a lake so that people would search for the murderers by following the cornmeal trail instead of searching the river (where he was going to be).
