There was another escape at the central
police station last evening, and Chief
Schweitzer and Capt. Rouleau are very
much puzzled over the manner in which the
feat was effected
The getaway was made by man hand

handouts securely connected with a second

Chief Schweitzer laughed.

Everybody adjourned to the chiefs private
office, and the cuffs in which the chief placed
his reliance were produced. Capt Rouleau
put them on. Then Houdin was shackled,
an2 hnaiiy, to make everything safe. another
pair VI the latest up-to-uate ours were
brought out and adjusted to connect the
wrist cuffs and the shackIes.
The prisoner assisted out into the outer
office and the door was closed. Capt. Rou-

The chief took out his watch.
