Charles II. Price, a 7-year convict, sent
from Detroit Sept. 90, 1890, for forgery,
made the cleverest escape from the pris-
on within the history of the institution.
Price was engaged in packing snacks in
boxes to ship to Australia. He left out
half of one lot, make false top for the
box, which he fastened in by means of
wooden buttons on the inside, and had
himself carried to the car platform out
side the prison. When the coast was
clear, he opened the box and escaped.
He had made two other attempts and
was caught in the act.-Jackson Mich
