fused, stating that he was not dog

for the racing yachts and when the
yach, reached her moorings it was
noticed that she had big dent five
feet long in the bronze plating close to

LOGAN STILL At LARGE.
lnvestieatiUn into Manner OF Escape
Brings out some Sensational
Evidence.

KNOXVILLE, July l.-Harvey Lo.
0an's Whereabouts are still unknown.
The investigate into the manner Of
his escape was continued today by the
government authorities, aud, although
1t is being held behind closed doors,
1t has progressed to IN extent which
requires the presence Of Judge Clark
IN this city. He wired today that he
will be here tomorrow. Only three
witnesses were examined today. Jim
West. the negro hunchb back, who feeds
the prisoners, and r. p. swanee, the
Italian and hypnotist, who helps abou,
the jail, were the first two questioned.
West claims to have been asleep at
the time Of the escape and Swanee
procured the horse and placed the
saddle on the animal. Their testi.
mony is said to have thrown some
light on the escape. Another inter.
esting discovery was made which
tends to prove that the investigate
is necessary. The hook on the end Of
the pole used by Logan, instead Of
being off q basket, ~ claimed by the
sheriff and others, turns out to be OF
the kind used in fastening bales of
shingles.
The sheriff and jailers have claimed
that all the sticks were removed from
Logan's cell and bathroom few
weeks ago, but It developed today that
the sticks used by Logan in making
his escape have been in his possession
since last fall, when logan drew a
plan for his escape and with the aid
OF confederates gave 1t to q person
on the outside some time ago. The
rope used had been spliced. One was
six feet in length, the other halt that
length. Busrell Bagatt, the carpenter
who repaired the Jail, was q witness
today.
