 The St Louis Globe Democrat re ports that it probably was a put-up job on the part of Rudolph's fellow prison CTS in the St Louis jail that they should start a corridor fight and distract the sattention Of the guards from Rudolph, who was in the corridor to be shaved. Extracts from the Globe-Democrat's S report are as follows:
 Rudolph undoubtedly hurt himself badly when he jumped off the jails upper roof. Everyone who saw him after he had gotten safely outside the jail enclosure noticed that he was limp ing. In lowering himself from the caves of the hospital building the fug1- tive had only to unlatch wooden pick ct gate which opens into the jaiiers yard, which also aided Rudolph in keeping himself partially concealed. He went direct from the yard into the kitchen in Jailer Dawson's residence and passed on through the house.
 Jailer Dawson and his wife were both absent, but they had left the premises in charge of Mrs Dawson's S mother, Mrs B. Lally, who was enter taining Mrs Louis A. Bohh of 275S Lafayette avenue Mrs Bohn's two lit tie children and little Mary Dawson were playing in one of the front rooms, and when they saw strange man pass ing through the house they ran in fear.
 Mrs Bohn was as much startled as the children. When Rudolph entered the kitchen Mrs Lally and Mrs Bohn l were sitting on opposite sides of the room. Mrs Lally was first to notice the intruder. Her sight is defective and when she recovered from her sur prise she asked Mrs Bohn if she knew who the man was.
 ''No. I don't; but he looks awfully rough. shouldn't wonder but what he is an escaped prisoner" Nr~ "Nhn re piled. Before either of the women had time to intercept Rudolph the children rushed into the room crying. and inn l mediately afterwards the outer door of the jailer's residence was slammed 1 shut
 Mary Dawson, years old, the daugh- i ter of Jailer Dawson. was the first to 1 recognize Rudolph and to know that he had made his escape from the jail. She was in the iailer's house, in the corner Of the yard, when Rudolph passed l through. He stopped a few seconds at l the front door, she says, looked up and | south. The little girl had been through the jail several times with her father, and was sure that it was Rudolph mak- ing his escape. She was momentarily l dazed at seeing him, and when she re covered herself her next thought was to notify her father. She rushed around l the Four Courts building as hard as l she could run to the Clark avenue en- l trance and dashed breathless into heI 1 fathers office. He was not there. and | she went into the iron doors leading to the jail
 '"Tell papa to come here quick" she | Shouted to the outer guard.
 ] Jailer Dawson, who had been called | in to quell the mutiny, came to the door, still ignorant of the fact that one l of his prisoners had escaped.
 l "Oh, papa" shouted little Mary, very
 much excited, Rudolph has escaped ] He just passed through our house and l frightened me-"
 Then for the first time it dawned upon Jailer Dawson what had really happened
 l Jailer Dawson sweated Mickey
 Walsh and Ed Cody, the two prisoners
 who engaged in a fake fight while Ru dolph was making his escape Each denied that he knew anything about the plan of Rudolph. Jailer Dawson
 also made characterization of the con duct of the guards. This investigation is not yet ended John Burke, who | was found on the roof Of the cells
 after Rudolph's escape was sweate6 by Chief of Detectives Desmond last
 night without giving any material in
 formation. Jai1er Dawson had hin
 locked in the dungeon after the sweat ing
