The ROBBERS.
Their Attempted Escape at Abba.

The Keokuk Constitution, which be-
ing Democratic paper. cannot be ac-
cused of misrepresentation with In
tent to injure sheriff Crozier, gives
this version of the story:
Barkis, and Brannan aud Miss
Eliza Flanders, arrested for the robbery
of the treasury of Marion county,
were taken from the penitentiary at
Fort Madison, where they have been
confined for safe keeping
last week TO Knoxville, for presen-
tation before the grand jury. there in
session, and for a preliminary hear
ing.
The grand jury found bill against
them, but the prisoners, through
their counsel, demanded father time
for hearing, which was granted, and
the defendants were placed on the
train for Abba, from whence they
were to be taken to Fort Madison, to
be again lodged in the penitentiary.
The counsel for the prisoners, Mr..
Kenworthy, met them at Abba on
Thursday night, where they were
obliged to wait until lis Friday
morning for the east bound G. B. 4 q.
train.
The parties, In charge Of the Sher-
iii OF Marion county and two guards,
ensconced themselves In n hotel at
Abba, and a private interview was
requested by Kenworthy, counsel for
Barkis and Brannan, which was
granted by the Sheriff, and the three
proceeded 10 private room, leaving
Mics Flanders, the Sheriff and two
guards in the parlor.
After short conversation, Barkis
and Brannan, who were handcuffed
aud sbackled together expressed de-
sire for smoke. The attorney re-
marked that he had some cigars in
his valise, and obllgingly descended
the stairs to get them.
When he returned 10 the room he
fonnd prisoner on each side Of the
door with handcuff in either hand,
and as Mr.. X. entered, they addressed
him and told him "that the only
thing that stood between them and
liberty was himself
Kenworthy begged and plead with
Barkis and Brannan not to make their
escape Here--he was their attorney,
and if they got away, he couldn't
prove TO the people but what he was
an accessory-the people would mob
him. etc.
Ii was an exciting scene for awhile,
the men seeing their liberty, the at
torny seeing ruin staring him in the
facs If they should escape.
His eloquence finally prevailed,
after allowing Brannan, who Is only
indicted as an accessory, TO go down
stairs alone and get his hat.
OF course the attorney supposed
this would be the last he would see
OF Brannan, but 1t wasn't. He pro-
ceeded down stairs, got his hat, walk
ell back TO the room, the men were
re-shackled, and Friday, were safe.
ly re lodged In the penitentiary.

ACCIDENTS hDd ill~luck will some
times occur In printing office as well
as elsewhere. BY an accident last
week our first-page form was "pied"
on the way from the composing room
in the second story to the press roo IN
In the basement. The extent OF such
misfortune just at the hour when
the paper must go TO press In order to
reach the outgoing trains, it Is diff
cult for any but printer to appreciate.
To set up the "pi," distribute 1t In
the cases and then set 1t up again In
the order In which 1t was before the
accident, involved the handling three
times Of each particular type. In our
first-page form are about 100, 900 types.
To handle each Of these types separ-
ateIy three times would require the
active labor of fast printer about
eight days. Hence we could not re-
pair the accident and give our readers
their usual four pages In time. We
did the best we could under the cir.
cnmstances, by placing the local page
on the press, and printing II, leaving
the editorial and general news page
blank, the second and third pages
having already been printed. Togeth-
or with our usual news and editorials,
AN interesting column Of local matter,
crowded upon tho first page, went in
to pi and oblivion. The explanations,
due our readers and ourselves, we
could not stop to make last week after
the accident, and hence present them
now. Such a misfortune we hope
may not befall the JOURNAL again
for years. Two such in one month are
certainly enough to satisfy editors and
printers, IL not readers.
