spotty Wing. the young Cincinnati
crook who was once a prominent fig
ure In the criminal circles OF that city,
escaped two years ago by adopting the
plan conceived by Elwood, but his lib
erty was short-lived, as he was over
taken and captured an hour later a few
miles west of the prison.
Old George Blackburn, a celebrated
crook twenty years ago, who now. at
the age OF rs, is serving his sixth term,
MADE peculiar attempt to escape
when he was much younger. He was a
civil engineer by education, and the
prison officials had him make the plans
Tor a new sewer. Blackburn had the
sewer so constructed as to enable him
TO enter 1t from the yard through a
hidden manhole, and then crawied all
the way to the point where II emptied
into the Scioto river, on the outside OF
the walls. He took two other convicts
into his confidence, and the trio started
one afternoon. The other two went
ahead Of Blackburn. When they

quite as interesting, however, for, in
the desperate methods adopted, they
outranked that of Morgan and his men.
One of the most daring breaks for lib
erty in recent years was made in De-
cember, 1891, by John G. Shaw, alias
Joe Stockton, and Jack Foster, both
burglars and all-around crooks. serving
time from cuyshoga county. The cells
OF Shaw and Foster were close to-
gether, and they managed TO communi-
cate with each other. 1t was agreed
between them that they should make
a rope, and, after ascending through a
ventilator TO the roof Of the prison, they
would let themselves down into the
front yard on the outside. In the shop
where they worked many packages Of
goods came with short strips Of Irvine
cord tied around them. Shaw and Fos-
ter managed to pick up this waste Irvine
from day to day and carry 1t to their
cells.
For nearly three months they were
engaged in secreting the Irvine under
their clothes, taking It to their cells at
the close Of each days toll and working
during the nights in braiding 1t into
rope. Some idea of the work involved
is given by the fact that the peniten-
tiary, at the point where they proposed
TO descend, was nearly seventy feet

reached the river they found that Iron
bars had been placed across the mouth
OF the sewer. Blackburn's two compan-
ions were able TO get through the bars
by bending them, but he was too heshy.
Ihey were so anxious to get away that
they left him unassisted and he was
compelled 10 return to the prison. The
sewer was SO small that he could not
turn around in it, and he was compelled
TO crawl backward all the way to the
manhole, a distance of 200 yards. This
experience disguised Blackburn with eff
forts 10 escape, and he has never given
the prison officials any trouble since
that time.
Blackburn has a nephew, Dave Black
burn. in the penitentiary. who is serv-
ing life term under the habitual Grim
inal act. Dave attempted to get out
BY testing the constitutionality of the
habitual criminal law about a year ago.
but the supreme court decided against
him. The crime which brought about
the younger Blackburn's life sentence
was the theft Of hen and her brood
of little chickens. He committed bur-
glary, however. in obtaining the poul-
try, and, it being his third conviction,
was given the full penalty. Some of
the most noted crooks never attempt to
escape, evidently believing that it pays
better to serve out their terms and de-
pend upon good conduct TO win them IA
vor, and eventually a pardon.

| high. Finally the rope was completed
and the night agreed upon for the es-
cape rolled around. The two men
plugged their cell locks in such a man
ner as 70 prevent the bolts from slid
ing in. They had obtained some old
overhalls from one of the engine
rooms and they exchanged their
stripes for these Then they made two
dummies. dressed them in discarded
stripes and placed them on their beds
TO fool the guard who occasionally paced
to and fro. These preparations having
been made. they slipped out Of their
cells and assembled TO the roof The
rope was fastened around one OF the
chimneys which surmounted the caves
and Shaw swung of. He slid down the
rope as quickly as a circus performer
and was away in an instant Foster
followed quickly, but was less fortu-
nate. The rope broke when he was
twenty feet from the ground and he
fell sprawling upon the ground below.
However, he was not seriously injured
and soon Joined his companion in flight
The two manged to get as far as Dub
lin, twelve miles north of Columbus,
and as daylight was setting in they
sought seclusion in a farmers barn.
Climbing into the NOV, they were maxi

when one Of them found that the far
mer had a jug OF whisky concealed in
the hay. Both proceeded 10 help them
selves with unstinted measure Neither
had drank anything during their long
years of imprisonm ent and consequent
ly the liquor soon got the upper hand.
A half-hour later they were staggering
around the farmers barnyard and
making the place resound with wild
yells. The farmer soon discovered that
they were escaped convicts. waited UNI
til they had fallen into drunken stu
por, loaded them into a wagon and soon
