ASSISTING PRISONERS TO EscAPE.-George
Morton alias John r. Wilson, was exam
ined by the Justice on yesterday and sent
to the grand jury to answer for furnishing
burglars tools to inmates of the Jail. 1t
was proven that the prisoner bought loayes
of bread at the corner of Wall and. Frank
lin strets, and after inserting the tools had
it conveyed to the jail where it was deliy-
cred to man called Logan. This had no
sooner been done than Detective Henry
Dabney, who SENS to be ever alert, informed
the Sergeant of the fact, and upon search
being made lot of fine steel saws and
pinchers were found in cell occupied by
Logan, Quinn, Baby Clark, and johnson.
Morton alias Wilson is quite genteel
looking man, apparently about fifty years OF
age, halls from Philaelphia, and Is known
as one of the most expert thieves and pick
locks in the country. johnson, who has
been sent to the penitentiary for FIVE years
for pocket-picking, also hailed from the city
of Brotherly Love, and was no doubt a pal
of this fellow, who was sent here expressly
to furnish him with the means Of escape
Richmond is rather an unsafe place for for
eign and domestic thieves, and Morton
doubtless will be presented with q set O
jewelry from Ball, Black &; Co., and set VI
in the lapidary business.
