with rare cunning and artfulness.
the prisoners who escaped had been
saving the bars in the jail for about
two weeks. They made a custom Of I
.urning on two or three water fau-
sets, which made a noise so they
said, that would drown out the rack ]

roaring OF the water served to drown
the sound OF their saving. This work
was done in the night time and a6-

three hours they would fill UP the
,raclas made in the bars with soap
md RUB dirt upon the surface.
In the first place. the prisoners
would either pick the locks OF their
selI doors with n violin string. or. by
living the knobs a certain quick jerk.
would throw the latch. The cells
rom which they escaped are the ten

ground floor, all OF which are locked
with one device at the north end OF

ice never did work to perfection and
