Miles never Intended to stay in the State Prison
and await trial There is no doubt that. "A rescue
was intended at the time Of the hearings a, Wood
stock, in February, but the vigilance OF the
Washington county officers prevented it, II Miles
had contested the case and any credcncc a. to his
previous character had been needed Mr. billing
ham had plenty Of witnesses ready whose testi
mony would have been convincing well known
and high official In a neighboring state, who has
had some experience with Miles, wrote to Mr.
Dillingham; that Miles ahbi claim was an old
dodge with him lie said that before one robbery
Miles committed, he took his wife to place in
Canada, and showed himself about town consplc-
uou-ly for several days Then IL was given ont

TO be confined to the house. no slipped out,
participated In the burglary, and appeared on
the streets, in few days, conyalescent lie

convict by Governor Dix, went to Washington aud
helped commit the Washington safe burglary

Jail at Watertown-once by saving through the
iron doors Of his cell and once by blowing open
one OF the main doors Of the jail With gunpowder
but both were unsuccessful Mr. Dillingham;, in
fact has received letters from various sections Of
the country in regard to Miles consratulatng
him on his arrest, and trusting that he would at
last receive his deserts One from the veteran
detective, Moses Sargent in which was account
Of Miles connection with the Walpoe Bank rob
berry, at which time Miles was keeping hotel in
Stoneham, Mass As is well known, Miles was
arrested for this along with the notorious Max
Shinbone and escaped from jail before conviction.
Sargent says that Miles is ga plausible and slip
perry fellow, aud well calculated TO deceive a
man Of wonderful sagacity and will escape If not

almost escaped from Sing Sing, few months
ago is now at the Dannemora State Prison, and
so closely watched that he cannot get out Cor
