From the 4 Albany Journal of Tuesddy
A most daring and successful case of ail-brcaking
occurred in this city last evening-Adam w. Cole
and John Odell two notorious criminals having
succeeded in etlectng their escape from the Maiden
Lane lookup Cole was confined in Jail ON four
charges of assault with intent to KILL lie created
quite sensation in this city few days ago by at
tempting 10 take the life of Chief Detective Kelly
Otfcer Malone, and Others while these officers were
pursuing him through the streets. His companion,
Odell, is a burglar from Cohoes. The escape was
made about 5 O'CLOCK and IL was discovered soon
afterwards by Jailor Gallup, who entered the room
where the prisoners are confined for the purpose of
locking them up in their cells for the night. Not
seeing Cole, he called his name, but received no
reply. Just then parties rushed 10 from the street,
and stated that the prisoners were making their
escape.
1t was then ascertaned that Cole and Odell had
cut hole through the roof, through which they
to the roof of woodshed on the east side of the
jail. Running along on the roof, they came to an
alley way, into which they Jumped, distance of
about sixteen feet, and made their way into Lodge
street. hack was in waiting Pine street, into
which the fugltiyes got and Were rapidly driven
away.
An examination of the place where the prisoners
made their way through the roof shows that they
must have been at work several days in preparing
for it, hole has for some time past existed through
the ceiling over the upper corridor, outside the cells
the roof being about fourteen inches from the cell
ing. The hole is about eighteen inches square.
From the railing of the corridor the prisoners were
enabled to crawl through the hole in the ceiling,
and thence to place directly over the upper cells.
Here they had been able TO work without being
observed, having an old blanket to catch falling
PARTICLES.
The implements used by them were two old case
With these they cut through the roof boards and tin
The distance between the ceiling and the roof is so
small that the prisoners must have been obliged to

the prisoners, and efforts were made to their
