MEMBER OF FAMOUS
 GANG OF CROOKS
Miller and Duncan Robbed Safe and Killed Officers Who Ar
 rested Them.
uz RANK DUNCAN was a member

RzNI RANK DUNCAN was a member
 H of a famous gang of crooks and safe blowers which operated in Birmingham about two years ago. Be- sides Duncan the gang consisted of Frank Miller, John D. West Frank Ed wards, Thomas Fay, "Sheeney Bugs and New York Harry"
 On the night of March 27, 1900, the safe of the Standard Oil Company was blown open and robbed and Night Watchman J. D. Clayton was assaulted and shot in the foot, which afterwards had to be amputated on account of his wounds. The robbery occurred early in the night and the police of the city were notified and were on the lookout for the burglars. Later In the night Officers G. W. Kirk ley and J. A. Adams saw two men enter saloon. They suspected them and when they came out they were placed under arrest. These men were Frank Miller and Frank Duncan. They offered no resistance and walked with the off cers towards the city jail.
 Killed the Officers.
 While on the way to the jail Miller, who was walking behind with Officer Adams drew a pistol and shot the officer. At the same time Duncan, who was in front with officer Kirkley, drew his pis- tol and shot this officer. The officers re- turned the fire but neither Miller nor Duncan was hurt and both made their escape. Both officers were mort ally wounded and died within a few days.
 Miller was later captured in Anniston and Duncan with West and Edwards in Chattanooga. Miller was tried and sentenced to be hung for the murder of Adams, and Duncan was given a life sentence for being an accessory to the murder It was pending an appeal of this case and before the other members of the gang had been tried for robbery that the first attempt to es was made. The Supreme Court af sentence and Miller was finall ter making a desperate legs life.

President Elliott of the Southern Car and Foundry Company Buoyant.

President J. M. Elliott, Jr., of the Southern Car and Foundry Company re- turned to the city yesterday after an ab- sence of fortnight or more. He comes home in the best of spirits. because the business of his company starts off better this year than ever before.
 MT. Elliott secured not only the orders for 1900 cars for the Southern Railway and 800 cars for the Seaboard Air Line but he has just closed contract to fur nish the Pressed Steel Company of Pitts burg with castings for 5000 cars. The Pressed Steel Company orders from the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio for steel cars which will aggregate a cost 319.000.O0o.
 MT. Ellott is naturally bouyant over his contracts with the Southern and the Sea board Air Line This is the first time that Southern companies have favored a Southern concern in large way. It means much for Alabama.

DUNCAN PROFITS BY
 PAST EXPERIENCE
With His Pal Frank Miller a Former Attempt to Escape Was
 Frustrated.

MA UNCAN has been in jail about
 two years, and on January 2, k0A| 19O1 he, in company with Frank Miller, Frank Edwards and John D. West, made an attempt to escape from the jail which nearly succeeded. They at that time had the use of the corridors
The age-herald., 1902-01-21

Once outside the jail building the pris- ouers had still the high Jail walls to scale. These are covered with broken glass and it was evidently the original intention of the prisoners to scale this wall as they brought their blankets out of the jail with them which they intend ed to put over the glass on the top of the wall so as not to be cut They chang ed their minds however. when once out side and sawed through the tongue of the secured on the inside by bar which ran across the gate this bar being held in place and fastened by a pad lock Once this was opened it was a simple task to open the gate and walk forth into the world free men The blankets which the men carried with them they dropped at this gate having no further use for them A piece of saw was also found there by the warden.
 Sheriff Burgin has not yet reached any conclusion as to how the men escaped The precautions taken were such that tt was impossible for them to get out of their cells without assistance. It is comparatively an easy matter to smug- gle saws into prisoner, but 1t was im- possible for them to get out of their cells with all the saws unless someone had worked the lever from the corridor. and which they could not possibly have worked from their cells.

OFFICERS MYSTIFIED
 AT JAIL DELIVERY
Night Warden Says He Heard Noth- Ing During the Nleht-Sherff
 at Wife's Bedside.

~a HERTZ A. ". BURGIN could
 ~S not be seen at his office yester- E1 day His wife is critically il and he only came to the city a few mo- ments during the morning to offer re- ward. When called up over the tele- phone he said that he had no theory yet as to how the men escaped or as to how they obtained the saws.
 Night Warden w. H. Ball said:
 T am on duty from o'clock in the af- ternoon until the next morning. Every thing Is locked up by the day warden and the keys left in the office when go on duty in the afternoon. I was in the office all of last night and did not hear any noise. Chief Clerk Stradford of the sherih's office was with me until g o'clock We were sitting by the stove talking. No one knew the men had es- capped until o'clock this morning. I have no business going in the jail at night unless some disturbance takes place. l did not go in last night. We have no regular night watchmen inside the jail since Miller was hanged.
 Trusties as stevedores.
 There are two prisoners inside who are trusties and who are not locked up at night as they act as stevedores, giving the prisoners water, etc. One is Lonnie Stewart, who Is in on a charge of abus- i've language and assault and battery The other is Andy Sumner He was sleep ing last night next to Duncan's cell He and George Bullard were both in for the same offense. Both of these trusties had the use of the corridors. l don't know where the men got their saws. Nothing goes in to the prisoners at night. The brake to unlock their cells would have to be pulled by some one in the corridor. I was in my office all night and the keys were hanging up in the office"
The age-herald., 1902-01-21
Did Not Transfer Dye.

David MimS the day warden said;
 'I locked up all the prisoners last night and when l came to work this morning four of them were gone. I turned over the keys last night to the night warden. I did not order Dye transferred to Van Horns and Bullard's cell. When I went in to lock up the prisoners l found Dye out of his cell and asked where he was. They told me he had gone down to play poker with Van Horn and Bullard. They were playing cards when I went in. It Is a comm on occurrence for prisoners to swap around this way and l thought nothing of 1t. The key to the brake was on the bunch of keys when turned over to me this morning by the night warden." :"
 Think Door Was Open.
 Chief Deputy Albert stradford of the sheriffs office when asked if he had any theory as to how the prisoners escaped said:
 My idea is that in locking up the cells last night with the brake which locks them all at the same time the cell in which were Van Horn, Bullard and Dye was not locked-that is, the door was not shut tight and instead of be- ing locked 1t was locked open, so to speak This enabled these three men to get out of the cell into the cell corridor. They then probably sawed off the pad lock on Duncan'S cell and sawed their way out of the cell corridor into the main corridor. It was then an easy task to saw out a couple of bars in the win dow and once in the yard to saw through the tongue of the paddock on the gate and escape.
 "Of course Duncan could not have got ten out of his cell even with the pad lock sawed off unless the brake had been withdrawn which locks all of these cells. This is operated from the main corridor and was supposed to be locked. Some sone in the jail must have unlocked this for them, as the lock had not been sawed through and was in good condition this morning. Who it was that unlocked this I am unable to say at present"

day, and with the assistance of Marshal
Wilson succeeded in organizing a posse
of citizens to hunt the robbers who held
up the trian on Marshall Pass. Keber
Pass and the trails leading from Brush
creek were guarded Wednesday night
but as it was learned that the hold-ups
were corralled between lineup and Pit
kin the watch over this neighborhood
was withdrawn Thursday, and the Off
GERS left for Gunnison. 1t has since de-
veloped that an old prospector and three
burros had been trailed across the
country by the invincible sleuths, and
when they were finally run to earth, the
burros were grazing alone on the hill
sides, the prospector having departed
three months ago for the east to effect
the organization of mining company.
