The position Of Mr.. d. w VOORHEES,

We copy the following special dispatch
from the St. Louis Republican,:
NEW YORK, September 13.-The follow

the facts on which the police authorities
rely for coDvicting Forester Of the Nathan

scanned in an unusually strange manner,
two pieces Of muslin being used in each
sleeve, where one would have suficed, and
the collar was also attached to the shirt.
On investigation it was found that a

Escape of a Murderer.

The subjoined report, from the Donald
sonville Chief shows how easy it is for a
prisoner to escape up there:
Joseph Garcia, who shot and killed John
Hesbrest, in the Railroad cofeehouse last
week, escaped from Jail Wednesday night,
and has not been seen or heard of since. 1t
seems that the kind-hearted jailor, Mr.. An
tome Guilfort, in order to render his pris-
oner as comfortable as possible, and never
dreaming that he would be so despicable as
to take advantage of it, allowed him to
sleep in his 1.-THE jailor's) own room, where
the bed and accommodations were better
than in the cells Of the jail. Some time be-
tween one and two o'clock, and while the
jaiior was absent from the room, admins
tering medicine to a sick prisoner under his
charge, Garcia arose and left the apart
ment, and going into the yard found long
piece of plank, which he placed in a slant
ing position against the high fence, and
by that means was enabled to scale the
same and escape. Before leaving his
bed he arranged the bed-clothes in such q
manner as to make it appear to the OBJ
server that the bed was still occupied, and
owing to this subterfuge his escape was not
discovered until half or three-quarters of
an hour after it occurred. Immediate
measures were taken next morning by the
sheriff to discover the whereabouts Of the
fugitive from justice, but these were re-
Taxed when Garcia's attorney stated that
he expected his client would appear to
stand examination before Judge Beauvais,
who was expected to arrive at II NJ Thurs
day for the express purpose of making in
quiry into the case. The judge arrived at
the appointed time, but Garcia did not, and
has not done so up to this time. Search is
being made for him by the officers Of the
law, and if he is discovered and brought
back to trial, the fact of his breaking Jail
will tell against him. 1t impresses every
one with the opinion that he is guilty
man and is conscious of it.
