RANKIN RETURNED
TO the County Jail From Which
Hae Escaped Last Dece 1nber.

He Escaped Last Dece inber.
1t will be remembered that on December
the 9th of last year Robert Rankin was sen.
fenced by the United States Court to five
years imprisonment for passing counterfeit
money.
The same day number of painters were
engaged at work in the County Jail, where
Rankin was confined previous to being sent
to the Penitentiary.
He used an opportunity offered him for
the appropriation of a pair of overalls,
blouse and paint bucket belonging to one
of the painters, with which he approached
the Jail door, and after raising his brush to
the Jailer was allowed to depart.
His escape was shortly afterwards found
out and search made for his recapture.
He was not found, however, until last Sat
urday, when he was captured in Louisville
by Chief Detective Bley.
Sheriff Wallace on the night of the same
received the following telegram from J. B.
Hardin, a subordinate of Mr.. Bley:
LOUISVILLE, June /.
Sheriff Wm. P. Wallace:
"Do you want Rankin, who escaped from
you last winter? If so, what will you give
for him, delivered"
The Sheriff made no reply, but neverthe-
less Mr. Hardln brought RANKIN up here
this morning and safely lodged him in the
County Jail.
Rankin, in talk with the Jail officials,
stated that after be had got out of prison he
proceeded through Court street to the alley
back OF the Debolt Exchange. He then
went through different alleys until he came
to Mllcreek, where he dumped his paint
pot into the water and also his blouse and
overalls.
He next went down the River Road for
seven miles, when he crossed into Ken
tucky. At Lawrenceburg he again came
over, and proceeded southward until he ar
rived in Memphis, where he obtained work
on farm. From this place word was sent
to Bley, who soon after arrested Rankin on
steamboat.
When brought to Jail he remarked that
the place seemed quite natural and at once
began looking around for some means of es-
cape In an interview with one of our rep
reSentatives This morning in Rankin's cell
room, the latter wanted the reporter to
take off his clothes, so that
he might put them on and by representing
himself as a reporter make his escape. He
did not succeed, however, and now stands a
good show of going up the road to serve out
his term of five years.
