possibility. indeed. Is somewhat
heightened by the circumstances at.

Mysterious Message from New York.
The flight from lewes, where the sc
bandit was first brought a prisoner, fol
lowed n mysterious message from CAP
tain Frank nmney, chief Of the inter
national bureau of the New York pa
lice Previous TO that call, which reach
ed Correll late last night, there had bee
several suspicious h. openings in Lewei
Jailcr's Suspicious Aroused.
The first suspicious that some
thing untoward was afoot wer'
awakened yesterday morning by ;
story told by the jailer. He said tina
last night he heard cultural voice
talking German to the prisoner
through the thin wall OF the ram
shackle jail.
The turnkey listened for quite ;
time. but was unable to learn thu
gist of the conversation. Finally h
ran outside the building. frightening
the strange visitor away.
Another mysterious German ap
peared in Lewes about noon and re
awakened the dormant fears OF thl
officials. He talked with a number
Of townspeople and there were
rumblings OF an attempt at jail de
livery.
These we're nothing but empt,
rumors. however. The second visi
tor went TO the Office OF a lawyer
and made a number OF inquiries re
garding the possibility OF institutini
habeas corpus proceedings.
When reports OF this reached tn
4 ears OF the New York officers. they re
a solved on drastic measures. The
e picketed the Jail with several guard
: and gave orders 3hat nobody was L
n see the prisoner unless he was accom-
o panied by one OF the officers.
