A Prisoners Terrible FAN.
In Easton, Marcus Prime, colored, con-
fined in the Jail, stripped himself of all
clothing and with the aid of fellow pris-
oners squeezed himself through tho win
dow of his cell, six inches high and about
twice as wide. His cell was just under
the roof, to which he climbed and donned
his clothing. He then walked to the front
of the Jail, directly over the sleeping
apartment of the warden, and tying his
blanket to turret began to descend. The
ground was 30 feet below, the blanket was
only 10 feet long, and Prime expected to
drop the remaining distance. After he
had descended q few feet the blanket gave
way and he fell 40 feet, striking on flag
stone pavement. He was badly injured in
his legs, but managed to walk and crawl
to his house, six squares away, where, as
he suffered SO much from his bruises and
the scratches he received when he forced
himself through the window, he sent for
Detective Simons and delivered himself
up. He was taken to jail in black maria,
and the first intimation the jailers had of
the escape was the return of the prisoner.
His fall resulted in such severe injuries
that it is probable he will be unable to
walk for weeks to come.
