ESCAPE OF NED CASSIDY.
He Jumps From . Moving Traiu
while Being Taken to jail.

| If Edward Cassidy continues TO fol
low his games of escaping from the otti.
GERS OF the law, no will ere many year,
achieve reputation equal to that of tht
notorious Jack Sheppard. About ont
year ago he walked out of the Cour,
room In the presence of the Sheriff a nd
other officers, and rem aimed hidden for
some three weeks before he was re- CAD.
tured.
On Monday he was arrested for the
larceny of a coat, and In the evening,
when his hearing was about to take
place before Squire O'Neill, slipped out
the back way and scaled several fences
before he was overtaken by the Off GERS.
He was, however, brought back, and
committed In default of bail for his
appearance at Court. He was taken
back to the hall and locked in cell on
Monday night, and yesterday afternoon
Chief of Police Hawkins ordered that
Cassidy, Joseph Dubois, colored, and
John Dugan should be taken to jail
1t is the duty of the special officer to
see that he prisoners are handcutied,
nut tor some reason, officer PiersOn, no
was directed TO take them over, was
allowed to do this himself.
He took two pairs of handouts from
the drawer, aud placing the colored
man in the middle fastened Cassidy on
one side and Dugan on the other. One
of the handcutis selected by the officer
was worn out, and the lock would not
catch, but he was unaware Of that
important fact until II was too late. 1t
happened that this worn ont haphcuff
was the one which was placed on Ned's
wrist and he was not long in finding
out the defect.
The prisoners were taken to the Rail
road station and placed as usual in a
car, part of which is used for baggage,
and the remainder for passengers. The
prisoners were seated on d bench in the
part allotted for baggage, and as the
train moved away from the station at 3
O'Clock, Plerson, feeling that everything
was all right, stepped into tn, part
where the passengers were seated, to get
n drink OF water. He was not gone
more than one minute, and when he
ieInrnsd and found but two prisoners,
he hurriedly inquired what had be
come OF Cassidy, and Dugan informed
him that he had jumped Off The tran
was moving rapidly, and the officer
scarcely knew what to do his first i'm
pulse was to jump of aud follow the
but was deferred from NO doing
for fear the other prisoners might es-
rape.
His next thought was to pull the bel
rope and stop the train, but thinking it
