WINrEIsET, Ia, April 2o-The exact
whereabouts Of c. D. Davies, the Peru
bank wrecker who escaped from Jail herd,
Is still matter Of speculation. Reports
have come in from Peru that Davies had
been seen on the Eustis farm, two and
one-half miles east of Peru, by people
who knew him personally and positively
identified him. The sheriff and deputies
are in that part Of the country now look
ing for him. Another report comes from
nine miles north of this place that some
one has passed through the line and es.
capped. They believe it was Davies. Such,
In brief, Is the status of Jail delivery and

County Il Like an Armed Camp.
The Davies case has become one of dra-
:natic interest For several days the peo-
pie Of Madison county, assisted by men
from surrounding counties who have
rushed IN to Aclp them, have been scour-
ing every part Of the county, hut still the
hunted man has escaped them. A man
who has just returned from the scene Of
activity says that the county, in many
places, resembles an armed camp. In

that the capture of all the bank robbers in
the state would not be worth as much as

STORY OF THE CRIME OF DAVIES,
An Expert Rascal and His Escape by Tun
neling Out of Jail


Davies left Peru with the deposits on
July last. He was captured at Canaan
daigua n, Y, on Jan. l3 and brought to
Dcs Moincs From Des Moincs he was
taken to Peru, but the officers were afraid
to leave him there. as an angry mob
Threatened to lynch him. Davies was
therefore brought to Winterst At Peru
Davies went under the name OF C. o.
Davies. He has been known elsewhere as
f c. Mlsnor. His real name is L. C..
Douglas. 1t was during the carly part Of
May. ls9a. Davies bought out the private
banking Institution of o. P. Wright at
East Peru. He reorganized and incorpor-
ated the bank aud ut onec began bust.
ness. The bank was q private one and
the force employed was simply the pro-
prietor. He interested a number of Dcs
Moines parties in kis bank and sold stock
to them. He kept deposits in two Des
Moines banks, which he Withdrew before
leaving for parts unknown
The manner of his escape from jail has
caused a great deal of comment and some
criticism His trial had been set for
Friday. He made his escape Just two
days before the time Tho time itself
shows planning. Davies had been allowed
company In his call at the jail. 1t is be-
lievcd that he had an accomplice and as.
ssstance in getting out. 1t was necessary
for him to sow tho iron bars Of his cell
noor, and it was also necessary for him to
make an excavation through solid earth
Tor tcp or more feet, requiring the use Of
spade. Both the saw and the spade used
in tho work were unqucstionably SNUG
gled in to Davies by friends who visited
him.
The dirt that was taken from the ex.
cavation was distributed about the Jail
and thrown on top of the cells SO that it
was unnoticcd. The men had worked for
their liberty for more than two weeks.
The work was one of the most wonderful
pieces of tunneling ever done 1t is all
the more wonderful when 1t is considered
that two men. en.accompiished it. Davies AZ
sistant was Des Moines man, in Jail
FOR larceny in Madison county. First,
the two men sawed the bars which sepa-
rated their cells Then the work of saw
ing through the floor Of Streeter's cell
was commenced 1t must have occupied
some days-days Of fearful anxiety. From
that point they stnrted the excavation
under the wall of the jail. The exit was
made In the jail yard, fully ten feet from
the wall How all this work was done
without discovery Is o marvel. II is sup
passed to have occupied two weeks.
1t Is now thought there may have been
n woman in the case and that she may
have played an important part in the
escape of Davies from Jail. SHORTLY after
Davies imprisonment there came from
Des Moines a woman who gave her name
as Mrs. Ryder, glass widow. She came
to w1ntcrset apd todS service at the STAN
field House, from which meals are sup
piled to the prisoners in the county Jail.
TIE meals were taken from the hotel to
the prison by George StaDfield, the pro-
prieFor of the boarding house. He now
confesses that the woman and Davies car
ried ON correspondence through notes
placed in the basket with. the meals
