John Kane Escapes from the East Fifty

A prisoner walked out OF a cell in the East
Fifty first street police station yesterday morn
ing and has not been recaptured. He was
John Kane. a soldier in Battery L OF the Fifth
United States Artillery. and lives in Brooklyn.
He was found on Monday night in Forty
second street. too drunk to navigate. the police
say. so they locked him up. As all the cells
were occupied in the station house. he was
put into cell No. l with another man. who was
unde arrest for a misdemeanor. Early yester-
day morning there came a bondsmau to bail
out the latter. and he was set free. Probably
the doorman neglected to slam the door. Half
an hour later when be made his round the
cell was empty.
Doorman Schmermund gave the alarm. and
had the station house searched. but the soldier
was not there. The doorman. working around
the house, had very likely left the prison door
open. so that, once out Of his cell, the prisoner
easily reached the yard. After that there
were two ways Of e~scape11one by way OF a
walls. the other by boldly walking out through
the mems room and the station house. The
latter was the easiest. of course. II he took
that. then the Sergeant who should be behind
the desk was liable to charges for neglect of
duty. The Sergeant was positive that he did
not take that why. The doorman was equally
positive that this could not have been. So
will be made against the doorman, and the SOL
der will be a witness II he is found. His adj
dress Is known and upon. his testimony will
depend the fate OF the Sergeant. too.
