from filling near him
sunburn managed to stuff the keyhole
of the pit (loos with wire. an that the key
could not be put to. He then stood guard
over the door with an iron poker and
threatened to brain any man who wont
near the door. To get the count away
from the door Janitor Collipy had to at
late the lailyard and shoot the noted prie-
ones in the leg.
At that time the jalloflll laia suppressed
the story, presumably to make up some
suitable excuse for the occurrence. The
moon given out was that this was only a
dodge cf Shiuburn's to make people think
he was crazy.
The true phase of the occurrence has
just been learned.
When this fact cacapadc occurred. 8th
have was condned in a cell directly across
from the county clerk's office in the city
hall. 0n the eastern side of the county
clerk’s office is a window. Looking out on
the jail yard is the stcnographcr’a cities.
in this office Shinburn's sweetheart works
from it o'clock in the morning until l'l
o'clock in the afternoon. she is an adept
at the deaf and dumb language.
Used Deaf Mute lfgua.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of
March it this young lady happened to
glance acroce the jail court you! into the
jail window and spied the famous robber
looking wistfully through the iron bars at
her. libs innocently made the sign to
him which meant, "What are you in jail
f " Ha motioned back, "My name is
Max Shinburo, and I never did nuythlug
in my life, but the people here say l are a
bank robber."
From that day to this the two have kept
up the conversation, until now the inno-
cent girl is head over heels in love with
the noted scoundrcl.
About two weeks ago, it is said, the
girl remained at tho oflice until every one
else had leftnud that the two conspirators
-for such they must be callul—batcbed a
plot, which, if successful, would have
given Shinburn his liberty. ,
The plan was to have the count fasten
the door to the pit and stand guard over It
until darkness came. Then he was to
leave the door and go tonccrtnln window,
where he would find his sweetheart wait
in. wltlra saw. a revolver .nd same man-
ey. l'nfortunately for them, the plan was
not successful. because Shiubnru was
stopped by Jailcr Colllpy before he could
get the things from his sweetheart. The
poor girl waited until she heard her lov- '
sr's yell after being shot. and then she fled.
Since that time Shinburn has been con-
fined in another part of the jail, while the
girl goes about her work almost heart-
broken. It is said that who has made
numerous efforts to see and aid the count.
but has always failed.
When the jail authorities were asked
about the matter, they become very indig—
nant and refused to give any inforlllatlon,
saying it was none of the public'a business.
Count Shinburn has been confined in
the Albany county jail for seven months
wnltlng trial for the Mlddleburg bank
robbery. During that time he has made
numerous attempts to escape. Of course
he is only using the girl as a tool, but she
thinks differently.
