an Irishman. There was no question of

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1894-05-24

A correspondent of The Inter Ocean
writing from Oshkosh furnishes great
deal of misinformation regarding this
congressional district. When he says
the Germans of Manltowoc county have
no further use for the democratic party
he shows woful ignorance Of political con-
ditions here. The only disaffection in
this county is due to the defeat of Gen.
Bragg for the q. s. Senate and this will
IN no way affect the election OF this fall.
Manitowoc county may be set down as
certain to roll up good democratic ma
jorlty, il tie party will keep its pledges
and give us tariff law in accordance
with our ideas Of reform.
The names Of John Hicks and T. W.
Houghton OF Oshkosh, s. r. Cook Of
Neenah, John Schuette and Judge
Baensch OF Manltowoc are mentioned
by the correspondent as possible nomi-
nees of the party for congress. He then
states that the Pratt faction is not favor
able. to Wells reelection and LETT the
convention In 1892 in protest against
Wells nomination. 1t was Schmitz 8
friends who quit the convention, not
Pratt's, and Schmitz never yet had poll
teal associates who are not democrats on
principle and not for spoils.

worth my while to stay here another
day to get the rest of it and I'm anx'
ious to get back"
The governor shot the bolt and open
ing the door looked in.
Time" he said.
| Kent appeared to be so engrossed in
his interview that he did not instantly
perceive the entrance of the officer,
but went on talking to Laport. "Thinlz
it over" he said. "Your own personal
comfort if not your freedom may be in
volved in it."
Then he and the governor left the
cell.
The first thing that Kent did was to
tell the governor that he had succeeded
in unsealing Laport's lips and had al
ready got from him some intimations
of the political gang which had at
tempted to use him. He then narrated
story of his own invention which
was so ingeniously fabricated that the
governor was deeply interested and
himself proposed that Kent should
stay until he had got the whole of it
and this Kent at last consented to do,
merely remarlzing: "I'd keep the fell
low in that cell till get it, if l were
you. The confinement gals him and 1
have no doubt he will sooner or later
give away the whole matter in order
to get back to the workshop. Keep
him locked up Swenty-four hours
longer"
The next cay there was another
interview. The moment Kent was
alone with the prisoner, he asked:
did you get the stone out?"
Laport took from his breast where it
had been concealed under his wooden
shirt, a small folded packet. Kent
took it, fingered it a moment, and put
it in his hip pocket. The two men then
went to the dark corner of the cell ard
Laport, getting down on his knees,
showed him that he had loosened one
of the small fagstones in the flooring.
Kent looked closely at the work, saw
that no one could perceive the differ
ence in the seams unless he brought
light to it and merely said: Good"
Then the two men sat down on the
edge of the iron bed.
Kent had brought with him circular
steel cutting saw which fitted into the
case of his gold watch. The brace and
other appliances he took from differ
ent parts of his person, and Laport,
with the instant divination of me-
fitted them together. They

CHAPTER ".


Laport marvcled at the particular
ity with which the escape had been
planned and at the address of Kent in
hoodwinlzing the governor while con.
spring to free his prisoner. Without
reasoning upon tie matter deeply he
set about following out the pro-
gramme laid down for him and his
methodical training enabled him to do
it carefully. Laport was over fifty
five but he was made of tough vital
material and the prospect of liberty
stirred all his old sagacity. Kent saw
him for the last time in prison on Fri
day morning; gave him his additional
instructions and tools and left osten-
! sibly for New York at noon, much to
the regret of the Ixtels.
Kent's provision had been unerring
with regard to Laport, but he made
one or two miscalculations about his
own movements, and as the gov
errors special efforts were directed to
his capture, stimulated no doubt by the
chagrin on having been so successfully
duped Che having learned that his
guest was unauthorized and unknown
in the New York newspaper office,
one of the best detectives in the coun-
try got upon his track and followed
him to Louisville, KY, when the trail
was week old. From this point he
traced him into western Tennessee
and there the pursuit ended. Kent
had disappeared from the surface of
the earth. What is remarkable about
l. - ~ - l.
occurred publicly to awaken the sus-
picion that Bench and Kent were the
same person.
Laport's escape from the prison was
effected with but slight variations as
it had been planned for him, and there
was nothing in his methodical execu-
ton of the plan but grim and I'M
eventful determination accompanied
by silent apprehension, until he ar
rived as arranged at the old mill, and
there the whole character of the pro-
ceedings changed as if by magic and
began to wear the aspect of a sixteenth
century romance.
While yet some fifty feet away from
the mill and hidden in the brush, he
listened and distinctly heard female
voices of merriment coming from the
other side. His heart sank. Some pic
nicking party had taken possession of
the secluded retreat and cut off his
last chance. There had been no pro-
vision for this contingency in Kent's
plan. While Laport stood listening
to the bursts of laughter and subdued |
screams that mingled with the voices
of men in some kind of sport, he dis
tinctly heard some one singing the
strains of "Home, Sweet Home" in
clear soprano. 1t might be one of those
fatal condolences, for the air was one
that anybody would be apt to MARBLE.
He considered a moment and deter
mined to take the risk.
Working his way through the thick
cts he came out on the overgrown bank
where the mill stood and went DELHI.
erately round 80 the side from which

chalk on the lowest clapboard, you
will know that is the place to turn.
Then follow the path from the
clubhouse up to the dwelling, but be
careful to walk on the gravel and not
in the grass. There is a back kitchen
with side door and o common latch.
1t will be open. III ere will be q hot
fire burning in the large kitchen stove.
You are to lock the door and divest
| yourself of every bit of clothing and
burn it there before doing anything
stroyed. When that is done, go to the
second story, front room, where you
will find the disguise you are to wear
In the breast pocket of the blouse are
three photographs of the man who has
been wearing it. You are to be care
full about the wig and mustache. You
ought to be in the upper room not later
than four. The alarm will be given
about five-thirty. That will give you
an hour and half to complete the dis
guise and the sun will be up. At that
moment you will take paint pot and
brush which are in the room and get
], upon the ladder in front of the house
and proceed to paint the siding at the
place where the job is left unfinished.
You are to speak very little English.
You will be fifteen feet above the
street. You are to answer all ques-
tions in q cultural and unintelligible
manner. The main entrance of the
prison is nearly opposite that house.
The men in the prison Office are already
familiar with your figure on the ladder
and regard you as stupid Alsatian
who has hired the place and is fitting
it up as saloon. At five-thirty ex-
pect q wire will be sent from the near
est hamlet Fifteen miles east) that an
escaped prisoner has passed through
on horse. You will be able from
discern by the movements at the prison
entrance if the chase is taken up in
that direction. If it is, you will have
twenty-four hours start, for they will
not catch my man inside of that time,
and when they do, they will be unable
to identify him. In the blouse will be a
small pocket compass and little map.
At exactly twelve-ffteen, when all the
farm hands are at dinner, you will take
a basket on your arm and set out leis-
urely across the stubble-field, south of
the house. You are to follow the path
across the field in southwesterly di-
rection. When you reach the stile at
the stone wall, two paths are seen on
the other side; take the path that goes
down to the wood: The moment you
are in the densest part of the grove, you
are to make the most speed you can, fol
lowing the path by the broolzside until
you come to an old and ruined mill q
mile west. You will sit down on the
old mill stone in the grass and wait
till you hear some one singing ''Home
Sweet Home." It Is the signal that all
is safe and it will be a woman's voice.
You are instantly to enter the old mill
and follow exactly the directions of
the lady you will meet there, bearing
in mind only this, that a woman las
not q mans sense of time, and you will
be missed and inquired for some time
during the afternoon and everything
will then depend on your speed of |
after you leave the mill. /
The arrangements from that point are
perfect. Delay alone may make them
miscarry. Can you repeat all these |
points to me?"
