Ever since the escape of John Nor.

from the Ohio penit tiary, Insinua-
:tlons have been made that Morgan
and six of his comrades had outside
assistance from southern sympathiz-
ers, and that Warden Nathaniel Meri.

Thomas w. Bullitt of Louisville,
lieutenant in the Second Kentucky
cavalry during the celebrated Morgan
raid, has just visited the cell in the
Ohio penitentiary in which he was
confined in 1863-64 as a prisoner of
war. This is Mr.. Bullitt's first visit to
the penitentiary since the escape. =
In very expressive terms he denies
the fnsinuations regarding the escape.
Accompanied by the deputy warden,
Mr.. Bullitt visited the cell in which
he was confined and also that occupied
by Morgan.

Holds Up Seven Stages In Yel- '|''
|owstone National Park.
OBTAINS ABOUT $4,000 LOOT
Over One Hundred People 0c.
cupied Coaches Stopped
by Highwayman.

Butte. Mont, Aug. 25.-One high
wayman, wearing black mask, held
mp and robbed the passengers of seven
stage coaches in Yellowstone Park at
q point only a few miles distant from
the Old Faithful Inn, near the Upper
Basin, according to telephone advices
received here. The coaches left the
hotel in the usual order, at intervals
of a few minutes and were held up
one after the other as fast as they
came in sight.
The highwayman was stationed at a
bend in the road where he was in
visible from either direction. At the
point of rifle he lined up the pas
Eengers and after relieving them Of
money and valuables, allowed them to
enter the stage and resume the jour-
ney. This performance the bandit
enacted seven times. 1t is understood
that he collected in all more than $2,-
coo. The fact that tourists in the
lark are not permitted to carry weap-
ems made it impossible for any of the
passengers or drivers to render re-
sistance The robber was man
ebout fifty-fve years old, weighing
about 140 pounds. After holding up
the last coach he disappeared into the
hills and 1t was afterward found that
he had made his escape on a horse
belonging to the transportation CON-
pany.
Even Took Candy From Girls.
The last coach contained five young
ladies. The highwayman obtained
very little from them, but stopped long
enough to appropriate some candy.
In all about 125 people were held
mp, but not all of these suffered
losses. When he ordered the drivers
to move on the bandit stood few
minutes with his gun pointed toward
them and then walked down the road.
All haste was made back to Old
Faithful Inn to give the alarm. The
soldiers encamped at the Thumb sta
tion were Immediately notified and a
messenger was dispatched to the
camp of soldiers on the West Gallatin
river at the west boundary of the park.
The soldiers from Fort Yellowstone
were on the road to take up the trail
within ten minutes after news was re-
ceived.
It is thought almost certain that
the bandit is heading for a point be-
tween Big Springs and Ashton, sta
tions on the Oregon Short Lines yell
lowstone Park branch and north of
Idaho Springs. There are a number
of settlers and forest rangers in the
upper and lower basins and if he
continues after reaching the main
road he cannot escape observation.
On the West Gallatin trail a squad of
soldiers is posted near the line.

through which the men escaped. The
whole thing was planned by Capt
Thomas Hines, and the hole through
the floor was in his cell. It was kept
absolutely secret even from our own
men.
Not more than a dozen or fifteen
knew anything about it until the last
day, when we were unable to keep it
from them any longer. I knew about
it because helped with the work. 1
am positive that not a single person
on the outside knew: a thing about it.
And I'll say this about Merton, who
was warden at the time: I never did
like him-1 disliked him exceedingly
but he did not know thing about the
escape. There has been some suSpi-
cion that there was some connivance
on his part, but it is absolutely un-
true. >-
''The work was all done with case
knives, which we stole from the dining
room, and one shovel, which one of the
men stole somewhere. 1t was used in
digging the tunnel"
Mr. Bullitt told an interesting story
CT the escape. He assisted the other
men to get away, but did not go him
self because his cell was near the end
of the cell block-No. 4-and a guard
stood near it. 1t was feared this guard
would hear him if he made an at
tempt, SO he decided he should stay
behind. :,
F. Capt Hines, who had cell 10, COM
menced the work, digging through the
floor under his bed. Every morning he
would clean his cell up nicely and put
everything in such prime condition
that the guard would simply take a
look at the inside, without making an
examination. LII -
During the day, when the men
were allowed the freedom of the cor
ridors for exercise, down through this
hole the men would climb said Mr..
Bullitt ''The cell tier was built on an
archway, and in here there was plenty
of room to work The distances were
carefully measured off, and holes dug
up to the cells from below. ~ e
/ "Ats the same time work was going
on in the tunnel. On the day of Gen.
Morgan's escape he changed cells
with his brother, Big Dick Morgan.
A hole had been dug into Dicks cell.
In this way the general escaped, the
brother staying behind. z. =.s@s

IN DOOR OF HOME
Policeman Has George Leopold
Hailed to Court for Alleged

When Policeman Charles J.. O'Con-
of the Sixth Precinct, reached his
home at 256 Warren street last night,
he found the front door smashed in
and his mother, who had been sick In
bed, running about the house hyster-
ically. Unable to obtain any informa-
ton from either his mother or sister,
he, went out in search Of the perpe-
traitor and arrested upon suspicion
George Leopold, % years old, Of 1882
Warren street.
When Leopold was arraigned in the
Second Precinct Court today he was
charged by the patrolman with having
broken open the door, but ne stoutly
denied 1t. O'Conner, relying only upon
the word of his mother, who was too
Ill to appear, was unable to- prove his
case, and the action was continued
until Tuesday. From the evidence sub
mitted today 1t was shown that Leo
pold had been calling upon the patrol
mans sister without his consent, and
that trouble had been experienced be-
fore because of the same reason
today.

TO PRESERVE
ClEvELANDSHOME
MEETING FAVOR
Many Offer Contributions for
Purchase of ex-President's
Caldwell Birthplace.
COMMITTEE IN CHARGE
TO MEET ON WEDNESDAY
Memorial Organization to Be
lncorp0rated-WOrk Will
Then Go on Rapidly.

The Cleveland memorial committee of
this State. of which former United
States Senator Dryden is chairman.
will meet next Wednesday, when the
plan to preserve the birthplace of Presi-
dent Cleveland at Caldwell, may be
considered. It is doubtful, though, that
it will affect the decision Of the asso-
citation to erect a monument at Prince
ton.
During the last few weeks there has
been an arousal of interest throughout
the State in the monument. Numerous
inquiries have been received by Mr..
Dryden, and also by Henry D. Winton,
of Hackensack, concerning the plans
Of the association. With them have
come offers to make contributions, but
all action has been delayed pending the
Incorporation of an association.
Articles of incorporation have been
prepared and will be submitted at
Wednesdays meeting, which will be
held in Mr.. Dryden's office. The propo-
sition will be made to nave as the title
of the legal corporation THE Cleveland
Monument Association" instead of
Memorial Association.
Consideration will be given also to
a plan to nationalize the work by re-
ceiving subscriptions from all parts of
the country, instead of from only New
Jersey. In several Of the large cities
movements are under way to erect
memorials to Mr.. Cleyeland's memory.
The association will probably estab-
lish some system of acknowledging
contributions. Two propositions have
SO far been made. One is to give GER
tiicates Of membership for each con-
tribution Of 81 or more, and another
to give a bronze medal to donors, SINH
lar to those given to contributors to
the Mckinley memorial.
Inquiries have been received from
designers and sculptors asking for In
formation regarding plans for the
monument, but all such have been an
swered with the statement that moth
ing will be done in connection with the
design until the necessary funds are
in hand.
