Makes Good His Escape.
PoRT HURON, Mich, July ia sensa-
tional incident occurred here last night.
Following the examination of Fred and
Charles Saunders, who were arrested June
8 for smuggling opium, Charles Label, oil
Indianapolis. was brought here to testify
in the case. 1t was understood that he
had turned States evidence. He testified
that several piano boxes of opium had
been shipped to him at Fort Wayne and
indianapolis, and reshipped by him to San
Francisco.
The Sanders brothers were held for trial
and bail fixed at $4,000.
District Attorney Black and Deputy
United States Marshal Stein left for De-
troit on the evening train with Label.
They had him handcuffed and intended to
h old him until the trial. When the train
was four miles from this city Label
jumped up, ran to the door of the coach
and made his escape.
The train was stopped, but too late to
be of service, as there was a buggy stand
ing near by, into which he jumped and
drove away at rapid speed. He drove di-
rect to Saunders, three miles from here, on
the bank of the st. Clair river, where a
boat was in waiting for him. He is now in
Canada, and out OF reach of the United
States authorities. He was the only wit
ness against the aunders brothers. 1t
will be hard matter to convict them.
