he knew an attempt would be made to
rescue him. From the fact that he
had gained possession of revolver
and club, it was easy to surmise that
some of his friends were scheming to
aid him. He thought of that 4:S5

Yielding to the power of the others
determined will, the sheriff threw
open the gate and Murray, without
the slightest trace of nervousness,
stepped inside and walked upstairs.
When he reached the first landing the
prisoners voice rang out, sharp, tense
and replete with deadly menace:
Stop right there, Murray; don't

He was what is known as a bad
man" in every sense of the epithet.
Three times in his career he had es-
capped from prison and had shot and
killed deputy on one occasion. He
had brother, Charles Meagher of
Cleveland, also thief, burglar, and
desperate, resourceful crook. He had
many friends; and Frank Meagher,
then fine looking, well-educated
chap of %, was highly respected and
much admired among the denizens of
the underworld for his daring and
cleverness.
Murray was certain that the
chances were all in favor of complete
plans having been made to rescue his
man. He had all of his papers ready
after midnight on June 20, and went
direct to the jail. A train left at Abs
in the morning and it was Murray's
intention to get away on it with
Meagher. 1t was about three in the
morning when he arrived at the Jail

more afraid than you are"
There was no response. Murray's
mind worked swiftly. The prisoners
silence was uncanny. Perhaps he
might shoot or bring the club down
with splintering force on the back of
his head. Still the detective sat, with
out moving, gazing steadily down the
stairs. Finally Meagher spoke soft
ly, almost in whisper
You're a game fellow, Murray" he
said. 'Tll not go with Muncie, but
I'll go with you, if you get me that
suit of clothes"
He stepped down and surrendered
the club and gun into Murrays hands,
and they walked side by side into the
Office. Meagher spat contemptuously
at the sheriff, swore at Muncie, and
glanced at the clock. 1t was Just four.
and smile fitted over his face. He
donned the suit of clothes, Murray
slipped the handouts on him. and. &C.

tured entered closed carriage which
was driven at gallop to the railroad
station. AS the party alighted the
train was making ready to CO.
A second carriage drove up, and
from thence alighted Red Jim Car
roll Joe Dubuque, and two other we'll
known crooks. Murray and Muncie
hastily boarded the train with their
prisoner between them. AS the cars
began to move, third carriage drove
furiously up to the station, but the
occupants did not emerge, probably
seeing that they had missed the train.
Red Jim Carroll and his three COM
panions, however, had climbed aboard
in safety.
Murray's quick eye caught sight of
them entering another car, and he
nudged Muncie with his elbow.
Did you see those fellows?" he
asked. Muncie nodded.
