echoed all day the vociferations of panic
stricken throng. Never before were such
scenes witnessed here. The failure of the
Commercial National bank on Saturday
afternoon did not become generally known
until after dusk. Nothing else was talked
about, and it was known to half the town
that raid would be made on the money

PURSUING A CONVICT.
ESCAPE or LATlMER, THE MATRI-
eide, FROM JACKSON JAIL.

Poisoned the Guards and Let Himself Out
with Their Keys Perhaps He Was a
Patrioidc Too-A whole Neighborhood
Alarmed.
JACKSON, Mich, March 2S This section
Of the state has been up in arms for many
hours looking for r. Irving Latimer, the
prisoner who escaped from prison by poi
soning the guards. When Latimer made
his escape he had rifle and plenty of ann
munition He was known to be desperate,
too, but hundreds of men and boys turned
out to hunt for him. George w. Haight,
who was killed by the poison given him by
Iatimer, had charge of one of the gates
Captain Maurice I. Gill. the night
keeper, was arrested on charge of being
the indirect means of the escape of Lati-
mer. About 1850 o'clock he and Latimer
took lunch together in the hallmaster's
office 1t was against the rules for Gill to
take convict our of his cell.
Latimer, it seems, has been telling Gill
that there was 81, 800 buried on an island in
the state of Rhode Island, where Latimer's
father lived when Irving was 13 years old.
Gill was taken with this story, and had
Latimer out to lunch every night to give
him details. Gill expected to leave the
prison in three weeks.
Poison In the Glass.
Latimer had been in the habit of taking
up cup of chocolate nearly every night to
Gatekeeper Haight, passing it through a
slide in the grating, which Haight took
with his midnight lunch.
There is no doubt that Latimer had
planned to poison both Haight and Gill,
and the chocolate at night was only to gain
confidence until he could get some poison.
AT lunch last night Latimer carried up a
glass of lemonade to Haight instead Of
chocolate, and Haight died in 20 minutes
after drinking it. Gill also drank Of the
lemonade and was attacked with spasms
almost instantly.
Latimer then took Gill's keys and es7
capped The prison authorities have offered
a reward for Latimer, dead or alive, and
officers are securing the country.
Latimer is one of the shrewdest convicts
known to the prison officials. He had en-
gagged in several plots for an uprising OF
the prisoners, and once succeeded in intro
ducing quantity of dynamite into the
prison. 1t was intended to blow down the
walls and free all the convicts. The plot
was discovered, and Latimer, although the
leading spirit in it, was only temporarily
deprived of his privileges as favorite pris-
oner.
The latest report was that Latimer had
been surrounded in piece of woods near
Concord by posse.
Latimer murdered his mother in Jack
son four years ago, and there was suspi-
cion that he poisoned his father. He was
serving life sentence.
