SMuLL, THE FASTER.
How DIR. Tanners Alleged Competitor
Hoodwinked the Authorities.

BELyDERE, n J., Nov. 19.-Peter Smull,
the fasting horse-thief, has proven what has
long been suspected, viz. that he was sham
ming and laying his plans for an escape, and
these he carried into effect az the close of the
thirty eighth day of his alleged fast. The
jailer's daughter was acting as turnkey. A
convicted thief namei Price, of Phillipsburg,
was allowed to go into Smulrs cell to fill his
lamp. Another thief, James CARING, of
Phllipsburg, was also in the cell, having
preceded Price, ostensibly to keep Smull
company. After talking a while they
said they would retire. Mss Bowers,
the turnkey, arose and was seized by the
mon, thrust back into the cell and the doors
closed on her. The three men then walked
rapidly out of the cell and along the corridor
through several doors, which were unlocked,
and escaped. They were seen later by a lady,
going toward Oxford 1t was thought at
first that Smull had gone to Pennsylvania
but this proved erroneous. The news soon
spread and the town was thrown into the
greatest excitement. Smull has not been
wearing his coat since his fast began, but
yesterday put it on, evidently to be ready fol
the rush for liberty. His fellow prisoners
say Smnll ate all he desired
