day night the girl was brought in, and shortly
afterwards became very i'll, and had succession
OF hts, during which she was attended by Mr.
Pearce, the divisional surgeon. She was not
locked up In acell, but keptin the reserve room
and between one and two in the morning when
she had partially recovered she asked permis
sion to walk in the large yard which separates
the station house from the court 1t was gran
ted, and she went out, but as witness was de-
termlned to keep watchful eye over her. he
followed her In two or three minutes time. but

whore he found her partially strangled. and
turning black in the face.
Mr.. Paynter.-IIOw had she done it7
Mr.; Humphreys.-By tying piece of tape
as tightly as possible round her throat
Mr.. Paynter.-Did she say anything when
she had sufficiently recovered to speak
Mr. Humphreys.-Yess she expressed her firm
determination to destroy herself at the very first
watch upon her all night
MIR. Paynter.-DO you know anything Of
her. -
Mr.. Humphreys-She refuses to give her
real name, or any account of herself but that
she Is upon the street. She is much depressed
and upon my endeavoring to soothe her she told
me that she had been seduced by her own
father. and that she had then abandoned her
home in disgust and horror.

Ine passage OF mans body between them
through this wall they succeeded in tearing an
immense hole, rending asunder the bars of iron
and hllIng their room with huge pile of brick
ana mortar. BY means of ropes manufactured
out OF their bed clothing, they descended into
the prison yard, and passed the greater part of
the night In fruitless attempts to scale the wall
by aid of their ropes Morning beginning to
dawn, and their grapples obstinately refusing
TO take hold on the top of the wall, and with the
energy OF desperation they attacked the wall
itself. In order to do this. they were necessi-
tated to re-enter the prison and obtain the
piece OF n broken shovel which had done them
such good service in tearing down the wall of
the house. The re-entranee into the prison was
effected by means of the plank of which the
steps are constructed that lead from the build
ing into the yard. Having obtained their i'm
plement, they set to work on the solid masonry
Of that massive wall. A small chink was dis
covered, in which the point of the shovel would
barely enter. A little mortar was loosened n
small particle of stone gave way; and then
another and another, larger and larger, follow
ed Some wOrkmen employed about the depot,
passing the prison at an early hour, discovered
what was going on, and gave the alarm to the
sheriff. On entering the prison yard. no one
was to be found. After searching for some
time, Barnes was discovered concealed under
the steps, and Kelly had re-entered his room.
and was apparently in very sound sleep,
wholly unconscious of what had occurred during
the night They are now lodged in other quar-
ters, and are properly secured and guarded.
