!. ". Cozad, the man who was indicted by the late Grand Jury for the murder of Johnson, and who, about two month ago, effect cd an escape, but was iecaptured shortly afterwards, has made an- other attempt, successful so far, to escape from confinement and the iron hand Of the law on the morning of the 2Ath instant, at about 3 o'clock. The jail, from whence he gained his liberty (for what length of time is yet unde- termiDcd(, is a large room in the same building where the District Court i, held, and to the rear of said Court, and is 1SX40 feet. John Marklc, who is Il Deputy Sheriff and .Jnilor, together with the
 
 guard, occripled one end of the room, tiic other end being in the possession 0f those accused of crime. We visited the premises and found two filthy looking IT, dlaus. who exchanged their lib- erty for confinement by the inno- cent amusement nf rolling and rohbing white man. There are two white men also, one accused of murder and the other fer q violation of the law by firing off his pistol on the public street. The prisoners are secured by a neat, fitting ankle bracelet on each ieg, with a connecting chain about two feet long, to which is attached another chain, about feet long, connecting with an iron bolt made fast in the flcor. thus giving them access to almost any part of the room. There are two doors to this jail @, one leading to the Court room and the otker into !he yard, which have to he kept open night and day for the purpose of ven tilation. In the rear door is kept a bucket for the private Use of the n isOaer>, and to which they have full access.
