John Curtis. a negro. was placed in
cell i'll the station house at 2:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Between
$3.50 and o'clock he escaped by saving
through the wooden bars of his cell.
No one happened to be in the police
office at the time. and the prisoner
passed out through the office to free
dom. Curtis had been gone for some
minutes when his escape was diScoV-
cred.
curtis was arrested by officer
Schroeder. in Crawford street, about
2:30 O'Clock, and committed as a sus-
picious character. He was trying to
sell coat which 1t Is believed was
stolen. He was searched before be-
ing locked up. but the man must have
had saw concealed about him which
the police did not find.
officer Schroeder visited Curtis cell
two or three times during the after
noon for the purpose of talking with
him. The man seemed somewhat I'M
der the influence of liquor when ar
rested, and each time Schroeder found
him seemingly sleeping off the effects
of his drink. Subsequent events
proved that Curtis was shamming.
Lieutenant Onley saw Curtis in his
cell at $50 o'clock. Within the next
half hour the lieutenant was called in
to the telephone room number of
times. and upon one of these occasions
thought he heard some one pass
through the passage leading from the
station house corridors to the police
Office. He thought nothing of this,
supposing that one of the policemen
was passing through. At o'clock
Lieutenant Onley went to Curtis cell.
but the prisoner was gone.
A saw had been used in cutting out
a piece of the 2x4 timber which forms
the top of the cells and which do not
reach to the ceiling of the room by
a space of about three feet. The hole
was large enough for mans body to
pass through. and once outside his cell
limits Curtis had found the rest easy.
Nothing is known among the police
as 10 the negros antecedents, but it
is thought that he is an old-time and
experienced crook.
