ESCAPE OF PRISONERS FROM THE MARL-
BoRo JAIL-The two white prisoners, Lester
and Brashears, made their escape from Jail
on Sunday night and have not been heard
from. They were confined in the back room
on the first floor, and by some means broke
off a bar from the door and then bursted the
lock. Having gotten into the hail, the old
front door lock offered but feeble resistance
and they were soon at liberty. We learn of
Mr.. Jones, the guard, that he was sick that
night, and hence did not sleep In the Jail.
Lester is the party who stole a horse from
Mr.. Geo. c. Humes, of Beltsville, last sum-
mer. He was captured at York, Pa, and
when first arraigned last month pleaded
guilty. His genteel appearance in court.

pathy, and counsel having volunteered to
defend him, his plea was Withdrawn and the
