terday by Geo. Hadley. confined there on
the charge Of furnishing tools to Patsy
Marley with which to escape. Previous
to Geo. Birdsall taking charge OF the Jail,
case-knife had been missing from
among the eating utensils furnished in
the Jail. Since Birdsall has taken charge
no knives have been allowed in the Jail,
and the knife that was lost is the one
with which Hadley attempted to escape.
Since the Grand Jury have been in ses-
sion, the irons have been taken of the
prisoners, as they we're liable to be called
for any minute. Hadley taking advan.

way out through the wall with the knife
above mentioned, and had succeeded in
digging out a hole q foot square when
Birdsall discovered it, and he was checked
from putting the county to further ex-
pense Of repairing. A blacksmith was
sentfor, and he was again placed in irons.
