ESCAPE OF NOTED BANK RoBBER.-Fanciz
Carter, alias "Big Frank" who, with three
other burglars, was tried and convicted for at
tempting to rob the National Bank of Delaware
at Wilmington, on the 9Th of December 1873
broke jail at New Castle, Delaware az half-past
one O'Clock on Tuesday morning, thus etfecting
bis second escape. His first escape was made
on February "A, 1874, when he, with several
other prisoners, effected their release. He went
70 Philadelphia, and was recaptured and sent
back the next day. The manner of Big Franks
escape was very ordinary, and gives rise 10
strong suspicious of a cOllusion with some of the
prison officials and the prisoner. One OF the
waTdens states that at the time OF the escape he
was looking out OF the weave roO-l at the lower
END OF the corridor OF the prison, when he heard
noise proceeding from the direction of "Big
Franks" cell, near the other end of the build
ing. Looking around he saw the prisoner run
nirg at rapid rate toward the door Drawing
his revolver the warden fired at the retreatipG
form, but without effect. The prisoner then
unlocked an iron door leading into a passage
way until he reached q door leading into the
street. He unbOlted the door. ana the next
moment was a free man. Frank was then
joined by contederates, who seemed TO be FULLY
posted on the time of the escape, as they b ad a
vehicle in readiness, which after receiving
Fran Oh board, was driven Off at a rapid rate.
