A Full account Of Their wander,.ss.
A representative of the INTELLIaENCER
had an extended interview with Ike Buz.
zard in the prison this afternoon. He is
confined in q cell on the north side Of tho
Jail on tho lower tier and quickly rose from
the cot on which he had been lying to
speak to the interviewer. HeshOok hands
warmly and III reply to the question
"When did you get back ~ answered
cheerily "Tbis morning."
"YOu made q short stay -
eyes, but it wasn't my fault that 1
came back SO sOOn.'
It was noticed that ho was much tanned,
his moustache was cropped close and his
side whiskera we're being started. He
looks we'll and enough changed to deceive
even Officer Pyle, to whom he is said to
have hinted that there was money in him,
if Pyle knew it.
Being requested to give detailed ac-
count of his movements since he left tho
Burkh0lder house, Buzzard promptly re-
sponded with " the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the TRUTH" He said he
did not propose to "give away" any of
his comrades, and Of course was not pressed
on this point. In response to a joking
suggestion he intimated, too, that he was
tired of Jail breaking. The story of his
trip was then told as follows:
Over the Wall.
"Of course you know how We got away
as we'll as can tell you. When We got
into the reservoir grounds Mike Lentz left
US. The rest of tho party all stayed to-
gether. We struck across the poor house
fields and went down the creek to the Old
Factory bridge. There we crossed and
broke up into squads. Three Of us-Lip-
pinc0tt, Ehman and d. ,ysclf Travelled across
the country east about five miles. L
hadn't prison clothes on when left. We
never saw any party after US and stole no
horses. Somewhere around Lampeter Wo
stayed in 4 rye patch till it was dark.
That night We struck across the country
and laid up in Il woods next day. The
second night We male the Ephrsta noun
tain. While there l spraincd my ankle.
At that place opened up COM
munication with friends and obtained
$50 from them. My lame leg kept me
there for a week. Then wo went to Allen
town, travelling on q Pullman palace coal
car on the Reading road by night. With
our money we bought clothes ut Allentown
and went up the Lehish Valley railroad to
Wilkesbarre. We were not working
at any time, bu. taking in tho
country. From Wilkesbarre we came
across the country on freishts to the P. &
E. road and down it W Marysville. Here
We boarded train un the Pennsylvania
railroad and went clear out to Fort Wayne,
Ind. Ehman hurt himself on the train
and it was some time before We got
Strengthened out to travel. Then ho
wanted to come homo and as We
had stuck together all this time
LippincOtt and I came East too. We
were put off now and then, and about 100
miles east of Fort Wayne we lost Lippin-
colt. He failed to board the train We got
OH and VIC have not heard from him since.
We came along without anything special
happening US to Columbia. We intended
to get Oft there and go out into the cOun-
try. Ehman was to 70 into town tonight,
get somo money and We would take a
fresh start. If it hadn't been for that
we wouldn't have come SO near home.
When We were taken from tho train
