clubs, dehsd their keepers and expressed a
determination TO make their way 20 liberty
against all o'is, and the further statement
mat Marshal Jeans had been called on TO

return to Warsaw hon this city. Ever
since then the effort !, carry out this pro-

cell, SLOWED the weapon 10 hang outside
These discoveries were made last Wednes-
day, aud the officers determined to keep
their own counsel and set close watch, in
order 10 discover who the outside sbettor
might be. AS a further precantion the
windows of the cell were closely boarded
up, thus cutting of all communication
from the outside. A watch was then set.
but nothing occurred until Thursday, when
a panty named
JOHN CALDWELL,
who resides Eear the mouth of Co,e Csmp
creek, appeared In town, accompanied by
his sister. Caldwell is hard case and
very intimate with Groshong, and has long
been suspected of being a member of a
gang of d. spersdoes who were in the main
responsible for the greater part of the
depredations committed In that locality.
Caldwell has q wife snd two children, be-
sides his sister, residing with him, and the
place has long been the resort Of
suspected parties. Some months ago,
when Clark's store was burglarized
IN Warsaw, so strong was the
suspicion against Caldwell that he was ar
rested as the perpetrator, but vas released
for want of sufficient evidence to hold him.
his appearance IN Warsaw at once led the
officers to believe he YRS there in the inter-
est of Groshong and Miller and alter a con-
sultation it was determined to lay a trap
for him and set a watch upon the prison.
This was done by leaving the prison so it
could be easily entered and keeping close
watch from The outside, aud the result
