The Escape of Eiikins- AddiaioDai
Particulars OF The Affair.

At the time of the escape of Fikins from
Clinton prison, says the Scheme ctady Union
he was one.of the gang of men at work in
a crushing mill, breaking stone. The gang
was in charge of an overseer. The last
seen of Filkins, he was sent to little gar
den, adjoining the mill, on some errand.
He was missed about 3 o'clock that morn
ing, and Sheriff Mcmillan arrived there
about 10, an hour afterwards There was
much excitement among the keepers, the
question Of how Filkins could have made
his escape being mystery. 1t was thought
that he had got out in citizens clothing, but
this seems to be almost an impossblliiy.
The entrance to the prison is through an
immense gate or door, inside of which
stand two men, night and day, one with
gun and the other to unlock the door when
ordered 10 do so by the sentinel. Filkins
had been gone an hour before he was miss
ed, and during that hour, both men at the
gate said that nobody had passed out. 1t
is surmised by some that Filkins cenceaed
himself some way, and was helped over
the wall at night by some friends.
