 Still a Mystery.

J. N. Dye one of the four prisoners who escaped from the Jefferson county jail Monday morning was recaptured yesterday and is again in his cell at the jail after a brief liberty of little over S6 hours. Officers are in pursuit of Dun can and the other escapes who may be retalken today

NEGRO ASSAULTS
 A MAIL CARRIER
y. W. DRAKE, A PosTMAN, WAS ASSAULTED BY AN UNKNOWN NEGRO NEAR NORTH BiRMING- HAM WITH A STONE.

J. ". Drake, a postman was assaulted by negro Monday night near North Birmingham and badly injured.
 Drake carries the star route from Lewisburg through North Birmingham to the edge of the city. While driving along on a lonely road in North Birmingham he was accosted by a negro. MT. Drake had his head wrapped up in muffler to protect him from the cold and did not hear what the negro said but sup posed he asked him for a ride and paid no attention to him. The negro, how ever, followed the vehicle and struck MT. Drake on tne head with a rock. He was knocked senseless and fell out of the mail cart. The horse continued on until stopped by two men who seeing that the postman was not in the cart sus- pected that something was wrong. They the road to look for the postman whom they found lying unconscious in the road The negro had disappeared and has not been seen since.
 Mir. Drake was given immediate at tention and he recovered sufficiently to say that he had been attacked by a negro. He was then put in his cart and carried to the residence of pr. NJ H. Collins where the wound on his head was dressed. After this he was taken home

DYE BROKE DOWN
 WHEN CONFRONTED

He reported the fact to Conductor L. car and after some conversation with the man who was J. N. Dye, decided to arrest him. Dye at first denied that he was the person wanted but Conductor Clark told him that he itted the descrip- was going to take him back to Birming- ham. Dye was unarmed and made no resistance when arrested. He was se- curely bound so as to prevent any dan ger of his escape. The train was on its way to Attalla when Dye was arrested him to Attalla and brought him back on the return trip, reaching Birmingham at o'clock yesterday afternoon. On the way back Dye broke down and cried and admitted that he was the man want ed. The train was met at Twenty-fourth street by Deputy Sheriffs Albert Strat- ford, Joe Hill and J. H. Barker and the prisoner was taken at once to the jail.
 Whitney, the place on the Alabama Great Southern where the arrest was made, Is near Ashville, the county seat of St. Clair County. A report reached the sheriffs office Monday afternoon that Dye had been seen at Trussvile and Dep uty Sheriff Gladdis was sent there on horseback to capture him, but Dye got away before he arrived. Trussvlle Is on the Alabama Great Southern road and the report that Dye was seen there was evidently correct.

PUT THROUGH
 SWEATING PROCESS

Sheriff Burgin received information at ? o'clock yesterday of Dyes arrest He left his home and came to the office yes- terday afternoon when Dye arrived. He gave L. W. Clark a check for $10O, being the amount of the reward which had been offered for Dyes arrest.
 Dye after being brought to the county jail was put through the sweating pro- cess" Chief of Police Austin, Sheriff Burgin and several deputies were pres ent. The examination took place behind closed doors and enough was learned from Dye as to the whereabouts of Dun can and the other prisoners to cause the sheriff to send posse of deputies last night after them. In the party were Deputies G. w. Courson, D. F. Mims and J. H. Hill. The utmost secrecy was thrown around their destination, though 1t Is said they left for Cordova, near which point Duncan and the other two men, VanHorn and Bullard, are said to be. It Is said that Duncan and the other prisoners shook Dye after getting out of jail and that Dye went in one direction and the other three in another.
 Dye is the young man who was arrest ed for robbing the Birmingham Arms Company and it is believed he furnished the mechanical skill for the jail deliv- cry.

suggest that the grand jury, when they take up this matter, extend their investi- gations a little further, and give the public information as to what 1t Is cost ing the tax payers of the county to run she sheriffs office, which is reported to pay such a large income.
 ALEX T. LONDON.
 When questioned regarding the above yesterday evening MT. London stated that the figures as to the earnings of the sheriff's office were well within what he was reliably informed actual figures. He stated that he had been informed from source he regarded as trustworthy that the sheriff's office really netted the sheriff about S22,00O per annum, and for the purpose Of Illustrating how dispro- portionate this compensation was he stated that the sheriffs compensation, from the lowest estimate, amounted to the pay of seven judges in this county, and In fact all of the judges except the judge of probate; that 1t was more than all of the pay of the Judges of the Su- pretne Court 1t was four times the pay of the United States marshal of this dis trict, more than three times the pay of the Federal judge in this district four and a half times the amount paid the Governor and from six to eight times the pay of any State officer.
 The fundamental objection as under taken to be expressed in the card is the fact that the public jail. which Is simply for the retention of prisoners who may or may not be guilty, should be a com merclal institution run in the interest of the sheriff, and not In the interest of the caring for and safeguarding of prisoners, which was the sole intent and purpose for which 1t was erected.
 
 cape had been matured for some time and that he thought of telling him of the fact when he called to see him in jail about a week ago but that he knew his father to be honest and considerations and he feared to tell him thinking that he might consider 1t his duty to inform the officers. He said he would remain with Duncan for time after they es- capped but that he did not intend to lead the life that Duncan led. He intended to leave the country and make money when he would come back and stand his trial like man. He told his father not to expect him at home as he would not come there.
 This letter and the letter of Duncans to The Age-Herald were probably writ ten the night of the escape. From its tone and the tone of Duncans letter the prisoners evidently had no fear as to their plans mscarrying.

DYE HEARD OF
 AT TRUSSVILLE

Deputy Sheriff Gladdis returned about Il o'clock yesterday from Trussville, where he had gone the night before on horse- back in search of a man reported to be there and supposed to be Dye. This prob- ably was Dye, but he got away on the Alabama Great Southern fast freight just before Deputy Gladdis reached the place.
 Several reports have been received at the sheriff's office as to the prisoners
 whereabouts, but none of them have been confirmed. L. B. Meek, who was witness against vanHorn, came to the sheriff s office yesterday and reported that he had been terribly beaten at Ensley Monday

GRAND JURY WILL
 PROBE JAIL DELIVERY
Judge Greene Will Bring the Matter to the Attention of the
 Body Today.

The grand jury now in session will make an investigation of the escape of Frank Duncan and his confederates.
 It is probable that the jury will return some indictments today when Judge Greene will probably bring the matter to their attention. Sheriff Burgin himself desires an investigation, and the grand jury has full power to make 1t thorough and complete. This body can take the matter up on its own initiative. It has inquisitorial powers and can summon such witnesses as it deems necessary and hold secret examinations. That this will be done Is practically certain, and their in- vestigation may throw some light on what is now a mystery.
 Sheriff A. W. Burgih Is still confined to his home on account of the serious i'll. ness of his wife. He was at his office but short while yesterday, and while there did not make further examination into the manner of the escape The work of the office during his absence falls on Chief Deputy Albert Stradford, and with the courts in session and the deputies securing the country, he has not had time to make further examination of the jail oi lueOIleS dS to the escape.
 Nothing new has developed at the jail The bars filed away by the prisoners are being replaced by Dan Ryan. The bars to the outer window have been put in and the interior iron lattice sawed out will shortly be repaired. A new lock has been put on the brake which locked the cells in which the men were confined the night of the escape. The old lock on this brake was found uninjured and locked as usual the morning after the men got away. It was thought best to put on a new one, however.
 May Have Had Blank Key.
 The theory of the jail officials Is that Dye, who Is an expert ocksmith. may have got a blank key and with file made 1t to fit this lock, which was unlocked the night of the escape and locked again after the men had got out of their cells. Dye was locked up in cell No. 6 the night of the escape at the same time the other prisoners were locked up. This was about 6 o'clock. In this cell were Bulard and VanHorn. If the door to this cell was properly locked that night, and Warden David Mims says that 1t was, it is im- possible to see how the men could have filed their way out without assistance from the outside.

Nothing has been heard by United States Marshal Cooper about Snug Hoff- man, who is said to have shot and killed Deputy Marshal Holsenback on January IS except a rumor to the effect that Hoff- man with another man, supposed to be his brother. is making his way towards Winston County.
 Marshall Cooper feels confident he will be captured shortly as the fact of the reward of s6O0 for his arrest is well known and the officers and government officials are on the lookout for him.

TRUSTEES MAY
 BE IMPLICATED.

David Mins, the day warden. has the ory that one of the two trusties in the jail Monday morning, Lonnie Stewart and Andy Sumner must have assisted the men to escape.

After this either Ball, the night warden or myself go in and see that everything is locked up. Since Mon day these two .trusties as well as the other prisoners are locked up at night.

The officers are doing all that can be done to locate the persons who made the assault. and bring them to justice It is understood that some important clues have been obtained.
 Gedrge Bullard, another escape mailed letter to his father who lives in Bes- serner informing him of his escape. The letter was postmarked Birmingham, January 20, 1902 Il 80 a. m This is the same time that the letter from Frank Duncan to The Age-Herald was receiv- ed in the Birmingham postoffice and in- dicates that 1t was mailed at the same hour. and at this time the men were probably together. The time at which it reached the Birmingham office indicates that 1t was mailed some where in the suburbs as there are more frequent col lections in the business center of the city.
 In the letter Bullard told his father that he was going to leave the jail with Frank Duncan. That their plans of es-

HE WAS WARNED
 NOT TO TESTIFY

At the time of the preliminary trial of VanHorn for robbery, which took place at Ensley some time in the early sum- mer, there was an unusually large crowd of persons-mostly young men-in attend ance upon the term of the court where the examination was being held but who, so far as ascertained, had no ma terial interest in the outcome of the pro- ceedings. After the case was ended and VanHorn bound over they disappeared and the public has heard nothing from them. VanHorn has in the meantime been confined in the county jail awaiting the result of his trial. which would have been some time in the near future.
 L. B. Meeks was a witness for the state in the trial mentioned and his tes- timony was very damaging. Not many nights since he was approached by two young men who asked him if he had been subpoenaed to attend the trial of VanHorn. and when he told them that he had, they told him that he would never attend it. They made other threats and Mr. Meeks reported the matter to the officers Nothing further developed till Monday morning about o'clock when he was assaulted and beaten int o insensibility by two young men, one of whom he is positive was VanHorn An ambulance was obtained and he was car ried to his home in Vivian, where he is now resting as well as could be expected
 The officers are of the opinion that the hangers-on at VanHorn's trial belonged to well-organized band of "sharpers" who were operating In this locality and who, when they saw their ''pal' locked behind the bars, set their wits to work to evolve some scheme which would finally lHerate him; or, falling in this, to intimidate the states witnesses so as to prevent a conviction.
