jail, but that he was not there at noon.
The bur that had been removed from
the window OF the jail when Benner first
broke out last January, has not yet

was not allowed in that compartment
of the county bastile. The heavy iron
had been removed was kept locked, and
Benner had been given the freedom Of

time, being locked in cell at night.
A reporter for The DIAMOND DRILL
visited the jail and viewed the work
done by Benner in breaking out. He
had climbed the stairs TO the second row

armed with "a stick of stove wood,

The Forger,a Farewell.

In looking about the jail Tue DIAMOND
DRILL reporter climbed Into the ceiling
and crawled between the ceiling aud roof
TO the opening through which Benner
dropped into the other room. The
block OF wood used in the breaking was
carefully examined in search OF clues,
but its battered end told only OF the
muscular force with which Benner
welded it in his fight for liberty. Under
d loose brick in the ceiling, however, the
reporter found something that had
escaped the eagle eyes OF the turnkey
and the rest Of the officers who looked
over the ground. 1t was a small piece OF
paper which had evidently been placed
there with the convection that none but
u reporter pryng for news would be
sharp enough TO discover it. On it was
written:
sayl Say good friends did you, pray,
Think I'd stay here till trial day.
That I'd roll aud rot in prison clothes
Nay Nay good friends, fresh air | chose.
Did you think that could quietly lay,
on my prison cot all night aud all day,
While my case was measured with "red tape,
And at my hands were means TO escape2
Nay Nay my friends with arms strong,
pushed the goodly work along.
Sheet iron, cement and heavy brick,
BY lusty blows were loosened quick.
Though could not pass through the iron door,
I'm now above IL, will drop 20 the floor,
Then run to the window with the loosened rod
And soon I'll stand on Gods free sod.
Farewell dear friends, farewell, ] say,

Far, far from here So farewell, again
You'll see me no more in Michigan.

more than six and a hall by twelve
inches. and as Benner il quite a well built
man, II is a mystery how he managed to
get out.
IL would seem impossible that a man
could do the damage that Bepner did in
breaking out. and not attract the at
tcption OF anyone around the court
house II the work was done in the day
time. The pounding on the sheet iron
and cnmented brick must have contin-
ued for several hours. in order to make
the two openings that were made in the
ceiling. with only a block OF stove wood
for weapon. The noise must also
have attracted the attention of the
turnkey il he had been anywhere in the
vicinity of the jail during the hours that
it must have taken the iorger TO have
accomplished his purpose.
There are many who are of the
opinion, however, that Benner was not
locked in the cell at night and that the
escape was effected at night, thus doubt
ing the story Of the turnkey that the
man was in the Jail Wednesday morning.
In either case. the second escape OF the
Jail breaker indicates gross carcessness
on the part OF the iailer and should be
thoroughly investigated by the sheriff.
