Escape from Jail-A : hiers Letter

a New Orleans paper says: The two
persons accused Of robbing, some time
since, a passenger on IT, coast packet
of 500, and who were arrested and
lodged in Jail at Donaldsonville, have
succeeded IN etfecting their escape. This
took place on the evening of the 7th inst.
The sheriff, who had just returned to his
house from visit of inspection to the
Jail, where he left everything in apparent
good order, was alarmed by the cries of
an imprisoned negro. He FASTENED to
had got out by means of sheets, crossed
the palisade of the arsenal yard, and
thence by the door, which opens on the
public square. The key of the prison,
which the sheriff had put away in his
own room, was found in the doorway of
their cell, and revolver belonging to
him had also disappeared. A party i'm
mediately started in pursuit, and by aid
OF hounds followed their track until the
plantation of Mr.. Eugene Lacroix was
reached, where the fugitives had managed
to obtain skiff and put off into the river
In it. Further pursuit was, for the
moment, impossible. In the cell occu-
pied by the two thieves was found the
following polite and amusing letter which
we translated from a French reading of
the original.
To the Jaiier and Inhabitcnts Of DonnHsonriHc:
GENTLEMEN, the impossibility
OF our obtaining justice or even lawyer
to plead our cause, we are obliged to take
our leave of you without having recourse
to the laws. We are glad that Mr.. c.
recovered his money, and we confess that
we have been well fed and lodged here.
We, however, think warmer climate in
dispensable to our health, and besides we
are assured that Baton Rouge is very
unhealthy place during the winter
We can never forget your kindness to
us, and we intend paying you f1ying
visit shortly. Do not take us for noyices
in our profession. We have always in
our possession the necessary tools to free
ourselves from your clutches. The small
knives and other instruments we brought
from Baton Rouge have been of no great
use to us. Yours, affectionately,
DICK TTRPIN AND CLAUDE DUAL.
