Edward Powell, river-pirate, had sawed
out several bars Of the large cage which sur
rounds the cells and thus set nearly dozen
prisoners at liberty, two OF them being muir
derers. Once outside OF the cage 1t was
easy to get out on the roof by means OF an
open skylight, and thence the prisoners ins
tended to climb down TO the ground by an
iron pipe. a little girl saw the men coming
out on the roof and gave the alarm TO the
sheriff, who is also the iaier. Sheriff Hay
seized a revolver and ordered the prisoners
TO return TO their cells, but they refused, and
Powell slid down the pipe and escaped. The
other prisoners were huddled together under
the skyIieht and the Sheriff TO f.Ighten them,
he said. fred at them. Dick Jones received
a shot lust back Of the left shoulder and fell
and the others then returned 10 their cells.
The bullet passed INTO Jones's left lung and
the doctor thought last night that the wound
was fatal. Jones is housebreaker and his
name Il an assumed one. Powell has not
been recaptured as yet.
