y. monig the inmates of Northern
Ohio L,,natic Asylum is asperson
named Wheedson, once a highly
respectable citizen in good circum-
stances, and said to have been a
member Of. the former. coal firm of
I. g. Pendietonz tE Co. lie has
been IN tile asylum for some time.
For some time past he has manifest
ed a strong disposition, to escape,
and the umost care and vigilance
have been exercised to Illustrate his
designs, but Mt always with success.
Before being placed in his sleeping
room at night he has been always
stripped and carefully examined t,
prevent the secretirg Of any instru-
ment, and all his clothes but his
SHIRT, panta!oons and stockings
taken away. In spite Of all these
precautions, he has succeeded three
times within few days in escap-
ing .lom his room.
About two weeks since he took
a set of false teeth out Of his mouth,
by constant work contrived with
them to saw a hole through the
floor of his chamber making a hole
sufficient to admit of his dropping
through into another part Of the
house. and illus escaping. He was
traced aud caught in the house of
Mr., Pendleton, on Euclid stree.
A few days since he secreted a pm,
and with that exceedingly unlikely
instrument he managed to pick the
lock ofhis door, and escaped into the
hall, where he was fortunately ar
rested. He then stated that q pin
was Of more value than ten thou
sand dollars when he wished to es-.
cape from a room.a 'e'. i'@ t7.i Sac
Last Saturday night he was care
fully examined, as usual, before
being placed in his room, hut sue
cceded in secreting a small brass
ring, split at one part, in his hair.
On being locked up for the. night,
he set to work and with the ring
cut through the sash and shutter,
so as to enable him to remove them
from the window. He +hen took the
coverlid of the bed and tore it into
strips, with which he made a rope
reaching nearly to the ground, a
distance of some twenty-five or
thirty feet. Some Of the cotton
batting witt, which the coverlid was
wadded, he placed in his stock
ings to protect his feet as he had
no shoes. Then dressing himself in
shirt trowsers and stockings, slid
down the rope and escaped.
Striking through the country to
the Eightmile Lock, he then took
the towpath Of the canal, and walk
ed down to University Heights,
where he arrived yesterday after
noon. The officers Of the asylum
ON his track came on him yesterday
Sunday afternoon. He was very
quiet when arrested, and spoke free
] v of his escape, and made no re
s;;stance to being taken back to tho
asylum. We question whether this
series Of extraordinary escapes can
be we'll matched. ia' s1e792'a a a. a.
