ESCAPE OF PRISONERS.
Who is Responsible for the Late Es
cape from the city Jail OF Two Pri,-


Oners.
1t is not generally known that two p isor
srs escaped from the city jail on Monday
night; or rather, from the jill yard. They
broke into n water closet some time during
the day, which vas for the use of the guard
and jailor, but which had been locked for a
long time aud the key of which was lost.
Here the prisoners remained, having shut
the door, until night, the guard or jaiIor,
whosever duty II is, neglecting to count the
prisoners as they were turned of the rock
pill to the cells, and there being twenty-five
IN the jail it was impossible to detect the alb

which formed a part of the wall OF the jail
yard; but finding the job of too great magni-
tud-, and also having assistants from the
outside who gave them rope, they climbed
over the wall and walk ed the air as free men.
Their fight was detected Tuesday morning.
when the guard, Officer Wooheater, went on
duty, as the rope had been left in couse-

stayed not on the order OF their
going, but put as much space be-
tween themselves and the Jail
as possible in just as short time "a good Legs

Y-rkes both examined the premises at the
time
The marshal reported the case to the city
council AT the meeting Wed esday night and
an investigation was ordered. The marshal
IN his report of the matter To the council,
laid the blame upon the jailer. II is also
claimed that he says that no report of the
matter was made known to him at
the time; but II WAS well known
that the escape had been made
among all the attaches OF the police
cour; the morning after the escape was made.
