Escape Ut I. sugar Awful. >,

Harrison Rothwell, alias "Sugar Aw
full, IN again at liberty, aud although
Judge Cummins Handicapped him ester
day morning with 81 900 bail, It wa,
not sufficient to hold him, and City So
licitor Turner's dream of putting hiu
away for sonnet time to come has van
ished in thin air.
After the hearing yesterday morning
Awful " was taken from the Courl
room IN charge Of officers and placed in
cell No. 8, in the extreme rear end Of
building. The cell door, and also the
door at the end of tie corridor, were
fastened with small Yale locks, which
were put on some time ago for greater
security. George Stewart, the man
who Is held for the larceny of harness
from David r. Lyman, was placed In
the same cell, and it was the intention
OF the officers TO take both prisoners ia
New Castle Jail in the afternoon.
The place was In charge Of officer
John B. Moore, who passed along the
corridor several times, and had handed
awful" o cup of water. About /
O'Clock the officer, who was thenlin the
Mayors Office on the same floor, heard
Q peculiar noise, and upon going into
the corridor to ascertain the cause, was
met by Stewart, who informed him
that Awful had broken the locks
and made his escape.
Stewart, who did not make any at
tempt to get away, was placed in anoth.
or eel, and officers started to scour the
city In search OF the fugitive. He was
traced to one of his haunts in Greeley
street, but there the clue ended and II
Is supposed that he has left town. An
examination showed that by some
means q piece of iron had been left in
the cell where Awful was confined,
and that he had twisted off the lock
with 1t. As soon as he made his way
to the corridor, he passed down the cellar
through the door leading from the main
corridor, thence under the City Hall,
and through the Clerk of the Markets
office to Market street. 1t Is not known
how the piece of iron came to be in
the cell, as the janitor says that it was
not there when he cleaned it out in the
morning.
Stewart is very uncom municatiye
about the matter, and says that he does
not know anything about it. This IL
the second time that Awful has made
his escape from the cells at the police
station, and if he should again be cap.
tured 1t would be we'll 10 use some ex.
ira precautions.
He is noted thief and property is
not safe VIII lie he is at liberty. Officer
Marq uess worked hard to secure his ar.
rest, and there is no doubt but he will
work equally as hard to secure his re-
capture.
