A Notorious Criminal Is Left in
the kherif,s ONCE, and Qui-
city VamOOses.

1t has become quite a common thing
OF late, for criminals, in spite of locks
and bars, Mr.. Powers new Jail, and the
army of cOnstsbles, bAilids, gusrds and
deputies, to suddenly turn up missing,
just as the public were fiatteriDg them
selves that they were hard and fast in
limbo. A few days ago citizens drew
a deep breath OF relief on reading In our
columns the account OF the capture and
incarceration OF the negro murderer and
burglar, Coale. The very next morning,
we were compelled to announce that he
had inside his escape, and was again
DOSE o n the community, free TO renew
| his thugging and murders. On Sstur-
dsy We announced with a flourish that
Henry Floyd, the chief Of the "roOm-
bestsp and burglars OF the city, had
been arrested, and was safe I" in the jng."
Yesterday he too babe an affeoti0nste
sdieu to bars and bolts, and again took
the freedom OF the allies" The man
ner of hts escape was peculiarly refresh
ing, and chsgrlned our worthy Sheriff
not q little
Floyd was brought before Squire Grif-
fifth yesterday for q preliminary exsmi-
nation. His attorneys we're on hand
and asked for 3 postponemsnt of the
case until this morning, and a change Of
the venue TO Justice Kiernsn's Court.
Both requests were granted, and the
prisoner was turned over to Sheriff Cur
~, to be escorted back to Jail. The
Sheriff carried him 10 his Office, where
he left him, surrounded by deputies, but
without saying q word to them about his
being q prisoner, altogether forgetting
the necessity Of such a thing. As sOon
as the Sheriff back wss turned Floyd,
as might have been expected, quietly
walked out OF the Office, down stairs,
and presto {. be was gone. The alarm
was given Immediately, but too lste-the
bird had flown; and, although sheriff,
deputies, constsbles and all followed after
him in hot pursuit, up to q late hour last
evening he had not been apprehended.
p. s. Since writing the above we learn
that detective Connel captured the fugi-
tive about 10 o'clock pm. His clothing
was wringing wet for which he gave IS
an excuse that he had swan across the
river since dark. He was lodged in the
Adams street station house, and will, no
doubt, be on hand at Squire Kiernsn's
this morning.
