ScIoficld and John Klein, made their es-
cape. The cells are in the centre of the
Jail. with hail on the sides and west end. |
A brick wall goes up from the outsiies of
the cells to the floor above. The cells do |
not reach as high as the floor above, SO that I
there is space of nearly two feet between |
the tops of the cells and the floor above. |
The prisoners were i'm the hall; by stand |
ing on something sufficiently high to reach |
the rear wall above the cells, they pulled |
out tIie brick until they had made hole
large enough TO crawl through. They then |
proceeded to the front wall, pulled out the |
brick, got out on the stairway. marched
down to the open front door ansa decamped. |
Ex-Slleriff Irvine, coming if:so the city |
from his farm early this morning saw a
bareheaded man running toward the east
ern SIDE Of the city, which excited his sns-
pfcions, and after making inqt,iry of parties
neaT by, who remarked they expected it
was one OF the jail-birlls, he gave pursuit,
chasing the fellow into the brush near the
river bank in the eastern end of the city;
but not knowing certainly that the man
was, an escaped jail-bird, he gave up the
pursuit mt that point, and returned to the
city to inform himself. As soon as the
| Sheriff WIS informed of the escape, he with
| several others started in pursuit, with what
success, we have not learned ut this hour
noon.
| Two gentlemen came into the city this
morning. and hearing tina. Mr.. Hammor9
4
Cotirt Hotlse, they drove up, hitched, and
went into the Court House. After sitting
a few nIintites, listening attentively to the
services, Mr.. Hammond arose to address
the congregation, when one of the gentle
men hurriedly left the loom. The cxpres-
sion OH his face, and the hurried manner of
his leaving, alarmed his companion, who
Imstencd after him TO find out what was
the matter. On reaching the vehicle which
they had left i'll front of the Court House,
the gentleman who had left in so uneere-
monious and hurried a manner, was found,
apparently cool and serene. Upon enquir-
ing, it came out that it was not Il conviction
of his sin and unwortlIiness that liad sent
him so hurIiedly down stairs, but the re-
membrancc that in his hurry TO attend flie
services he had forgotten package con-
tanning several hundred dollars, which lay
in plain view upon the buggy scat.
