SAIL Delivery in 81. Louis.
When Deputy Jailor John Remand went
to relieve Watcbmen Miller and Head at
the Jail this morning he found them locked
in the cell, and upon examination 1t was
discovered that Robert Wilmer, alias Judd
alias Pete Mccartney; George Rankin,
alias Hoosier; John Hall, John Moore, alias
Nike Rogers; Robert Brown, alias Joe
Rettennouse, all notorious counterfeiters,
especially the former, had escaped. 1t
appears that about 8 A. M. Wilmer
and Rankin got their cell open in
some way not definitely known, passed out
into the large hall of the jail, secured Miller
end bound and gagged him, and then laid
in wait for Head, whom they treated in the
same manner, and locked both in . cell
They then released the men named, also
John Lee and j. w. Purdon, under
charges of murder, and Dan Barrow,
. hotel thief. They then took the
keys from Miller; opened the inside gate,
~
underneath the window, crept through the
hole thus made into the yard, and finding
the gate in the cutter wall open, Escaped
without further trouble. Lee and Purdon
refuse d to leave the jail, and unbound Head
and Miller, but would not unlock the cell
door. The escape, therefore, was not dis
covered until the time arrived for the regu-
alar relief
