and fearing detection, climbed on the iron
tank in the cell, which is about eight feet

ing the ceiling, and there lay fat and still.
The jailer thinking, of course, that he was
| gone, as one of the prisoners said he saw him
going eff, only gave cursory glance through
the narrow corridor around the tank, and
then started in pursuit. Keefer lay quiet all
the afternoon, and it was thu noise made by
him in getting off the tank that attracted at
