ser went out, to IL possible recognize
them. AS soon as Slosser laid his
eyes upon the pair Of suspects he said
they were not the men wanted and
therefore they were released. The
one shot at by Officer Baum gave his
name as George Lee and said he had
been employed at Miller & Blanchard's
livery stable. His statement was sub
stantiated by this firm. His compan-
ion gave the name Of Dunlap.
FIREMAN GABEL KNOCKED DOWN
Emil Gabel, fireman at the Central
station attended a meeting of the Vol
unteer Firemen's association last eve
ming At Just three minutes after
8 o'clock as he was turning the corner
of Court and Eighth streets a man
came up the street on a run and col
lided with him. Gabel was knocked
down and his umbrella broken. The
fellow did not stop TO help him up,
but continued west on Seventh street
past the city hail at a 2:40 clip. Gabel
had heard nothing of the Jail delivery
at the time but now believes that the
man was William Smith, sone of the
escaped prisoners.
A party Of men at the corner of
Court and Fifth streets saw three
men running rapidly up Court street
at about the time of the Jail delivery,
and there Is no doubt but that they
were trio of the jail-birds.
The police force was engaged in
wild goose ohases in different parts
Of the city up to midnight on informa-
tion received that some of the men
Sheriff Wilson would be pleased to
have back In their cells, had been
seen. Railroad depots were watched,
box cars inspected and every known
resort Of criminals searched, but up
to an early hour this morning not one
Of the seven had been captured.
FULK WAS SEEN.
Hiram FullS, one of the seven was
seen at about 10:30 o'clock at the
residence of Howard j. Fry, the livery
man at the corner of Smith avenue
and Tuscarawas street. Fulk at one
time worked for Fry and was well ac-
quainted as to where Frys~ horses
were kept. Fry heard noise at his
barn and on investigating the cause
saw Fulk trying to pick the lock on
the stable door. On seeing Fry. he took
to his heels. Police headquarters was
notified and Harvey zaiser was detail
ed to the scene. He was not able to
apprehend Fulk, however. Policeman
Ryan and Deputy Slusser on returning
from the lake also assisted in the
search. Their efforts were also in
vain.
Fulk when seen was without hat or
coat. He undoubtedly was attempting
to escape with one of Fry's horses.
From descriptions of the man 1t is
thought that he was the man who
bumped into Emil Gable at the cor
-ner of Seventh and Court streets.
SHERIFF WILSON INTERVIEWED
On being interrogated by a News
representative at midnight Sheriff
Wilson said that he had no idea how
the saws with which the prisoners cut
their way to liberty came into their
possession, as the usual precautions
were daily in force against the admis-
sion of visitors to their cells, or even
to the corridors. He is of the opinion
that accomplices of some of the pris-
oners smuggled the saws to them from
the outside during the hours that the
steel doors between the two grated
ones leading to the court was open to
admit ventilation. Early this year
the sheriff discovered the presence OF
saws in the possession of another
bunch of prisoners who have since
been sent to the penitentiary, but
they were taken away from them and
since that time there had been no evi
dence among the prisoners of tools
being In their possession.
AS would be expected the official
feels chagrined and humiliated over
the jail delivery, and no pains will be
spared to effect the re-capture of the
whole bunch.
