A PRISONER JUMPS FROM AN EXPRESS
RAIN GOING AT FULL SPBED.-A week ago
there was published in the Daily Advertiser a
full history of the career of James W. Young
the money-order thief, and the details of his
arrest in Springfield. a week ago last night
in company with Special Agent Hawley, he
started for the west, and on Friday he crowned
his exploits by daring escape from the United
States marshal and his assistant, who were con-
yeying him by rail over the Michigan Southern
railroad TO Chicago. The feat was performed
near Edgarton station, a few miles from TOle-
90. About O'Clock IN the afternoon, Young,
who was in the ladies' car, feigned an attack OF
cholera mOrbus, and complained of suffering
great agony. Some of the ladies in the car
then prevailed upon the agent to remove the
handouts from bis captive. This being
done the prisoner was allowed to retire to the
closet, the agent remaining outside the door
But Young did not make his appearance within
reasonable time, and the officer became
anxious, and forced open the door. He found
that the man had jumped through the window
preferring the risk of a broken neck to the hor-
rors of prolonged Imprisonment. A brakeman
on the train observed the escape and signalled
the fact as speedily as possible. Young, who
appeared at first 10 have been stunned by his
fall, picked himself up and made a bee line
across the country. The train pulled M, but
too late-the bird had flown. The deputy United
States marshal from Boston got of at Edgarton,
and put the authorities on the scent. Young,
in escaping, left his hat and cane. Mr.. Hawlev
reached Chicago on Saturday morning and
related these facts.-Boston Advertiser, I2i.
