MAHAFFEY AGAIN IN JAIL.
The Police Capture Him in q Cornfeld Where
lie Has Been Hiding Since His Escape.

Charles Mahaffey, who escaped from deputy
Sheriff Arnold, last Thursday morning, was cap
tured at o'clock last night in a cornfed, east
OF Woodruff Place. at the terminus of Michigan
street At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon deputy
Tim Clark Was notified where Mahaffey was
located, by a man who had seen the escaped
prisoner, and had been requested by him to
come to the city ard secure some cloth
ing with which TO keep warm
and TO sleep upon. A girl named
India Hyatt. who has great affection for Mahaf
fey, learned where be WAS on Saturday, and has
been with him since that time. Immediately
learning Mahaffey's location Deputy Tim Clark
notified the police and made arrangements with
bis informant to assist in securing the escaped
prisoner. it was decided that the informant
should &c, ahead with the clothiug-a
pillow. blanket and overcoat-apd that the
officers, with the patrol wagon. should follow.
They left the police station in charge OF Captain
Colbert, AT o'clock. When they reached the
cornfeld .hs officers alighted short distance
west of Mahafeys place of concealment, and
surrounded IL, while the informant and Capt
Colbert went to deliver the supplies
Captain Colbert secreted himself in the fence
corner His companion began whistling for
Mahaffey near the place where the Captain was.
and in few seconds the man wanted came out
OF his hiding place to meet his supposed friend.
The two then, as had been previously arranged,
walked past Captaln ColOert, ana then II only
remained for the latter to secure his man. He
did so by suddenly stepping out Of the fence
corner and demanding Mahafey to hold MP
his hands The latter was quick to
understand the situation, and did as he was
commanded. He was then securely handcuffed.
The girl was also arrested. Mahaffey was
placed in JAIL but the girl was released, as no
charge could be brought against her.
When the officers visited Mahaffev and the
girls hiding place they found that the two had
been living under an old tree, with nothing to
shelter them from the storm and rain
but q crude shelter built out of corn
stalks and covered with weeds, husks and an old
umbrella, which served as a wind protector.
Both Mahaffey and the girl were thoroughly
drenched with rain, and as the patrol drove into
the city each complained of hunger and cold
They said that when IL commenced to rain they
found a dry goods box. and to escape the damp
ness Of remaining on the ground, they carried
it in to the tree. and resting il them on the
limbs above, sat perched side by side on a limb
directly underneath. Mahafey says that he
has been secreted in the cornfeld
ever since he made his escape He
did not resist arrest and apparently was not
over erieved about his capture. Ga the morn
ing Of his ESCAPE he had pleaded guilty to the
charge of burglary and grand larceny, and will
probably receive his sentence in a few days.
