ESCAPE OF BOSS TWEED.
HOW 1T WAS EFFECTED.

New YORK, December A. A dis.
patch was received at Police Head
quarters this evening stating that Viii.
liam M. Tweed had just escaped from
custody. Warden Durham, of the Lud
low street Jail, Immediately telegraph.
ed to every police station in this city
Brooklyn and neighboring cities noti.
flying the police to be on the lookout
Warden Durham subsequently called
on Inspector Dilks, at the Central
Police Office, and stated that he had
accompanied the prisoner to the resi-.
dence OF Mrs. Tweed, at the corner OF
Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street,
anu while there MIR. Tweed requested
permission to see his wife privately
Mr. Durham unhesitatingly granted
the request, and Tweed went up stairs
to his wife's apartments, leaving one OF
his sons to entertain Durham and the
deputy. After waiting about ten min
utes Durham became uneasy and sent
young Tweed up stairs to tell his father
er to come down Immediately, as they
desired to return to Jail. In short
time the young man returned and in
formed Durham that his father bad
gone. Durham at once searched the
house thoroughly, but no trace of the
Boss could be found. Leaving the
deputy in charge of the house, Dur
ham hurried to the residence of Sheriff
Conner and informed that officer of the
escape. The police authorities were
promptly notified and the central Office
detective at once went out, scuurin =
the city in all directions.
Deputy Warden Gardner i'm charge
of Ludlow street Jail during Warden
Dunham's absence stated that neither
he or any person in Jail learned OF
Tweed's absence until about half past
eight, when man rang the bell and
the door was opened by the Deputy
Warden. The man, whose name was
not known, nor his face familiar said
Warden Durham had sent him down
to Jail to say that Tweed had escaped.
Further than this the messenger could
not say and he then took his departure.
1t is supposed that Tweed left the iail
about 4:N in the evening with Warden
Dunham, and il is now thought that
Keeper Edward Hogan also acconpan-
led them rs he has not been seen
around the Jail.

the residence of Boss Tweed were
searched. In twenty minutes otter the
