Eddie Koch. the young man who
was the subject of recent habeaS
corpus hearing. ia which il was
sought to get him out of Jail. whittier
he had been returned after running
away. figured in ¬her exciting
episode yesterday morning. At the
time the door to the basement of the
Jail was opened, in order To let
wagon into the stone pile located in
the basement. Eddie watched his
chance and made Il dash past the
wagon and out of the door. Mike
Nagel. the guardian of. the prisoners,
and other attaches of the Jail at once
Sprinted after the fleeing prisoner.
Mike pulling his revolver and firing
two shots i'm his direction. Across
the court house square. circling to
the west of the big building ran the
young rounder. whose sprint has car
ried him away from the police on
more than one occasion. Crossing
Fourth street he darted into III"
openingeast of Julius Saunders imple-
ment house. and turned Il sprawling
Somcrsuult over a high board fence.
That shut him out of view of the
men who were after him, but they
were coming from all directions, and
he sought refuge i'm shed. Chief
Kessler had been among those who
were near at hand at the time Eddie
made his dash. and the chief found
his hiding place and pulled him out
of il. and in q few minutes the boy
was back in solitary. The court had
not vet made Il definite ruling on the
habeas corpus case. but the incident
will probably terminate the proceed
ings. Sheriff Macarthur admits that
he will be surprised if Eddie gets
away again.
