I-NiTERESTlNG DEV'El&OP-.\'lE.\iTS. .
Vlfhile the community‘were so much ex-
cited on Thursday, by thedaring robbery
which had _beer_i ciimriiitted the night before
at the Rail »Road Depot, and while cvt-ry
body -was on the alert for the discovery of
some clew_ by which to tmcli the P0-|”pvtr«'i
.'or, there. was an operation of a somewhat
different character quietly going on in the
County“P'r.ison on Jail Hill—nn operation
which, lf’il did not prove successful, was yet
so nearly-so asto show that the operator
was no common man. The facts, as we
have them -f.'0m'1\’ll'.' Lee,‘the Jailor are sub-
stantially these: _
About 10 o’cloc.k Thursday morning, ‘Vic.
Lee took it into his head to pay 11 visit to the
cell of his wrmi’, John Marsliall, and contra-
ry to his wont unlocked the door and step-
ped in. As he did so, his eye rested on a
broom which Sl0OLl in a corner of the cell
just by ilie eiitrancc; and w_ithout l)t=lti;I
consciotis of any motive for it, he i'eaclietl
out his hand and raised the broom Up. Up»
on doing so, he" di'scoverc.d lilflillltl it a pile
ofdry mortar, niixcd up with minute pieces
nfbriclc 'l‘uz-riin,g to Marsliall, he asked -
“ i-low came that tlict'c?”
“ It has bccn there ever since llmvc-,” was
the reply Kiititviiig this to be a lie, be
cast a St.’nl't,‘lltt‘lg eye ()\'('i' the walls of the
cell, and fiiiaily spied L-‘0l!'lt-'i.l1il'ig it little pe-
culiar in tlie appeztriiticc of the face of the
wall just by the upper corner of the door.-—
-le examined the spot and discovered that
a number of brick had been taken out, and
then -areftilly replztcetl, pieces of white paper
(the wall is whitewashed) had been careful-
ly stuck on to cover up the evidence of dis-
rlaccinetit. I-le next proceeded to examine
ihe bed, and soon discovcre.d a pile of brick
an-:l mortar underneath it, and at the back-
side in the brick wall against which the
bed stood :1 hole \'»'Ofl{t.‘tl ltt't1l'i_',J through the
wail. But where were the implerncrits with
wliich it was done? -Mr. Lee knew that
the man had been _s-objt-ctcd to a rigorous
search when first placed in the cell, and he
knew of no way in which he could have
been subsequently furnished with tools to op-
crate with. [la told Marsliiill, liotvever, to
strip himself to the skin, which was accord-
ingly done, and one gariiient. aftcr 3l‘.titl]t*l'
handed back to him as fast as Mr L. got
tlirou«__>li cxaininii.-g it But lfl5lt‘8.‘.l of’ re-
turiiizig the vest, he starlet] to go way with
that. The prisoner a.-kc-d liiin \‘.’llfil lie was
going to do with his vest? “ Examitic it—-
rip it to pieccs,"—w:is the reply. 'l‘lieretip-
on Mzirshall said,“ You 72cm’ 7-zr-l (Zn li-—2f.i‘
no us;-.—] git.-e up an-,rl ow/L tip.” He then
took the vest, and from various concealed
pockets and hiding plaicesin i!,lio drew
forth bust, _a fine saw, rnatle of the ‘main
spring of a wtitcli, than two or three pieces
of iron or steel which once composed the
clasp of a ‘;VE1ll(‘l, a gold pen and silver‘ pen
cil case, and ifafi in bank bills. '_'i'lir~se he
placed in Mt‘. l..t-o.=-'s hands: anzl then said
his last hope of csczipe was gone. l'lll.l’lt‘*.l‘lO
he had not despaited of sttcce.~s; but now
the genre was up. and he might as well make
it clean l.»rr~;ist of it.
t\lai‘sliall then told Mr. Lee tliat he had
mediated an escape from the first day llf‘ cri-
tcred the prison. llut lie was st-inc time in
fixing upon a plan of opt-ratioiis. His
first idea was to wit; liinisclf out of his call
'3ut to get. out this tvay, he must l'(‘tl‘.0\'t.‘
four round iron bars of frilly one inch in
'.bit'l:.ie.~s each , and to remove 1lit‘S£3 lie niu~t

milly inade up his iiiind that his saw would
not last long (.‘(lOll;il to cut out more than
two of the brirs, and so his labor would
be lost. This project was ll'.Cl'tf0l'8 dis-
missed.
At last be resolved to niiiktz his it-ny
lill‘O‘.l';,'_l'l tliosolid brick wall into the ad-
joining cell, the door of wliicli, lie hail,
some-liow, found out to be open. This wall
was 18 inches in Iliiclmcss; but on Sunday
night last he went resolutely to work with
his pocket book clasp. _l.ly dint of j{lllf‘l”.t,‘(_'

his way through all the layers of brick but
one. This la_t-i-.r of course he left undistt.:r-
bed till the time should come for tiialting his
exit. But alas! for his hope-s. The day
pN.‘(‘Cf?(l‘lllg the nigllt in tvliicli he intcritlctl
to take an llllCt‘l'(‘l'I)02"llUUS leave. of the pris-

dfggiizg, -was c/om! and Z.9t'.’:crl. lt was now
of no use to get into that cell, since escape
tl-.encc into the open liall, would be no rasicr
than from his own cell.
Buffletl in this tlll'(‘(‘i'i()l‘.,ll(3 next conceived
the plan of taking down a portion of the
end wall into wliicli the ir iidoor of his cell
was fitted. The door opened outward, but
by the removal of the tier of bricks wliicli
COIl5i.lll.llf‘tl in part one of the posts or bul-
wniks of the door, he s.-rtisfied himself of
the pract=c:-ibility of opening the door im.oa.rd
for enough, at least, to admit of his ptissiiig
thro’ liettveeti it and the wall. ‘vVlioevet' is
acqustintcd with the prison, with tho ,t_rreat
stieiigtlt and solidity of the walls of the
cells, and the peculiar mode of securing the
door of each, at the top, by a heavy iron
bar, will confess the formidable nature of
the task vi hich the dcspertite man set himself
to accomplish. It will be seen also, that
the plan was one wliich no man not fertile
in resources and expedieiits would ever have
hit upon. \Vcll, having once got matters
ai'rarigctl in his own mind—h:iviiig nntici
pa-ted the various obstacles and fixed upon
the mode. of overcoiniiig tliem,a;_raii'i he puts
the old clasp in ft qUlSlllOl‘l. He began opera-
tions near the ceiling, just. over ihc corner
of the door. The result. we have already
seen, in the loosciiiiig and removal of the
brick at that point; and when detected, he
had got so fir under tvnythai, in one hour
uiore of work, he said he was confident he
should have been able to get out of his cell
That one hour’s work was to have been done
on Thursday night—thc night in wliicli all,
by the vigilance of the jatlor, was discov
ered.
Finding himself headed c-fl, tintl his tools
of trade taken from him, Marshall scented to
surreiider all hope. He told the jnilor his
last chance was gone, and be now looked
forward to a full term in the State Prison__.
Mr. Lee rcrtiiiided him that if he had suc-
ceeded in getting otit of his ct--llinto the
hall, he was yet very far from accomplish-
mg his escape, and inquired what his plan
was for getting out of the hall. He replied
that he should have gone out by the large
door at the end of the hall. Upon being
_told that he would have found it a most
formidable entcrprise,lie said he knew just
whntit was——.tli:it he had thoroughly c-xiitn-'
.inod it and would soon have made his way
th;ough_ it. Mr. Lee asked him w/mi he
exiimitied it? ll?’ replied that he did it
when in consultatioti with his counsel, the
morning tiller he was fir'st‘bi-our.-‘lit to the
prison.‘ 'l'lii‘s consultation took placein the
hall, and he had (lt~'SlI_7nt'(lly drawn his court'-
sel to the extrctiie t-nd‘of it that he might
have opportunity to see and t,inders_tand the
constriiction antl fasteniiags of the door, at
the same time that he appeared wlioliy en-
gxossed with his lawyer.
Previous to some of these confessions, by
Marsliall, Mr L..r-e clii-trgcd him with being
an old ro,t_zue, and State Prison birtl——iii 0lll-
er words,an escape-cl convict from a prison
not a thousand miles from Not-wicli—a pris-
on located on the bank of ii navigable river,
and from vtl'llCll liemade his escape in l8/18.

“ I-.7010‘ dill :1/nz1_/i.»i1Z out I/ml?” [i‘ilt'. Lee. did

that those who have thus far sinned, are the

Everything is in uncertainty. There is no
election of State ofii._-e,-rs by the people. ~ 1311!
