A Convict's Novel Mode of Escape.
St. Louis Republican.


William Gossard, a convict, made a
novel attempt to escape from the peni-
Tertiary ut Jefferson city, which came
near being successful. He was employ
ed as n packer in Priesmeyer's shoe
shop, and with the assistance of Fred
Faulkner, fellow-conyict, got himself
packed into shoe-case, which, with
the other cases, was to be shipped inn
mediately. Unfortunately for him
there was a delay i'll the arrival of the
wagon which was to take the boxes to
the depot, and his absence being mark
ed search was instituted, resulting in
his discovery The guards had hunted
everywhere for the missing man, and
for time were completely nonplussed
when one of them kicked one Of the
packed boxes and said he believed
Faulkner had packed him into a shoe
case. Gossard, hearing this, thought he
was discovered, and at once COM
menced kicking to get out, his place of
confinement having by this time be-
come intolerable, owing 20 his cramped
position and the insufiicicncy of air.
Gossard only weighed 100 pounds, ten
pounds more than the weight of that
sized case of shoes, and, had the delay
not occurred, would have succeeded in
getting away from the prison at least, al
though doubtless would have been
discovered before the box had reached
the depot, the hole made in the case
not admitting sufficient air to sustain
life in any great length of time. Cos
sard is from Kansas city, and is serving
a sentence Of thirty years for the kill
ing of the marshal of Westport. Faux
ner is second termer from st. Louis.
Both of these men were awarded the
punishment usual in such eases, the
latter receiving the largest portion for
his share i'll the affair
A similar attempt to escape was
made some years ago by the notorious
John Reno, who succeeded in getting
himself coopered into a barrel. His
scheme was frustrated however, by a
fellow convict giving him away
