PRISONER LEAVES
HOUSE OF BONDAGE
Man Arrested and Held on Burglary
Charge Tears Up Blanket and
Makes His Escape.

The mysterious escape of a prison
er from durance vile is a recent in
cident in the police annals of
Brownsville. Saturday the assistant
city marshal James Dwyer, arrested
a man suspected of being implicated
in some recent burglaries. The city
having no Jail, the prisoner was con-
fined to the upper portion of the city
hall. On Sunday morning the mar
shal on visiting the place of impris-
Ionment, found the prison vacant.
The captive had fled. For his per-
sonal comfort during the night the
man had been supplied with blank
ct, but with the ingratitude that is
characteristic of so many persons so
situated, he had torn his blanket
into strips, had made a rope of the
pieces, had let himself down from a
window and SO had departed to some
other place. The man is out o.
prison, and the city is out one
blanket-value not stated.
