The Warden Knocked Down and
six Prisoners Escape-Ehe NotOri-
GUS hob Allen and Henry Esasin
at Liberty Again.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal.
Dover, April 7.-Between IL and l
o'clock to-day six prisoners in the county
Jail here made bold dash for liberty and
escaped. The Jail inmates had been
brought down stairs to the lower corridor
to receive dinner as is the usual custom.
The meal was being served by Jailor
Wesley Rash, who before he hnd any idea
of what was coming, was struck
in the face and knocked down,
while the prisoners rushed past
him, through an iron crib, the doors of
which they had previously wrenched off,
and out the side door of the Jail to the
street, where they turned and dashed
rapidly down the Little Creek roud.
Before Rash could recover and stop
their progress six prisoners had left the
Jail.
Among those who escaped were Bob
Allen and Howard Rasin, notorious col
ored horse thieves and burglars, John
Bodine. Matthew and Caleb Steyney of
Milford, imprisoned for larceny. Sheriff
Robinson ut once summoned posse and
started in hot pursuit.
Bob Allen one of the escaped prisoners
is one of the most notorious thieves and
burglars ever in this State. His plumber
ings cover period of several years, dur.
ing which his depredations We're of the
boldest type, and his booty very
large. While awaiting trial previously he
made his escape with Rasin, but was after
ward recaptured, tried, convicted and sen
fenced to 10 years imprisonment and Ind
about nine more to serve. Rasin was re-
captured only few days ago near Clay
mont and was yet to be given trial.
James @. Robinson, sheriff of Kent
county, offers n reward of $50 each fol
the CAPTURE of Robert Allen, Henry RASH
and Caleb Stepney, colored, Vincent )
| REYNOLDS and William M. Bryant, white
who escaped from the county Jail n
Dover, Tuesday.
John Bodine, who also escaped from
i the Jail, returned Tuesday night and sur
| rendered himself to the sheriff. He wn
awaiting trial for the larceny of meat
| The prisoners were headed i'll their breal
for liberty by Vincent Reynolds, motor
| ious horse thief and desperate.
The report that Warden Rash WA
struck by heavy bar by one of the mel
i is incorrect, ny he was in the Kitchen
apartment when the men made their dies
peratc dash. The police in neighborinlt
| cities have been notified and the search II
the surrounding country is still bcinl
prosecuted. One of the conyicts has beel
traced to this city.
