A DARING JAILBREAL
THE ESCAPS OF MORGAN, THE RAIDER, IN 1863.
A Passage Cut Through Twenty-three Feet of Masonry by IVliicli Morgan anl Five of Ills Oflicers Got Free and Scaled the Prison AVall.
[•[Copyright by American Press Association.] HE escape of Morgan, the raider, from the Ohio penitentiary in
Novem ber, 1S 0 3 was a bold break for liberty. he raid upon which he was engaged
^P when captured was the most darin undertaking during the civil war, and Gen. or a was a noted fighter and leader whom an
much prefer to guard in a strong prison than to antagonize in the open field. The state of Ohio claimed Morgan anil his irllicers as offenders against the commonwealth because they had been captured while raiding within its borders, and the military commander of the department, Gen. Burnside, turned them over to be treated as felons. The party, to t.he number of seventy, were accordingly placed in confinement in a wing of the penitentiary where the cells were set in solid masonry so as to form an interior structure, like a huge cage built in a large, room. The cells were in five tiers ami Morgan was on the second tier, and those who ultimately escaped with hi in were on the lirst. The doors of the cells were irou grates with burs an inch and a quarter jdc and half an inch thick, placed twd ipches apart each way.
Morgan's men were not allowed to come in contact with civil prisoners. They were marched out across the prison yard to their meals, and were allowed daily exercise in the alleys running around their cells. The hall, as the room containing the cage was called, was under special guard. A turnkey was constantly on watch, two military sentinels patrolled the room alongside of the cage, the prison guards., warden and deputies made rounds of inspection, and no communication was allowed with any persons except the keepers unless military guards were present. Between sundown and sunrise the raiders were securely locked in their cells. They were not permitted to have newspapers and their correspondence was subjected to censorship.
Under these circumstances men of spirit naturally take great risk to breathe the air of freedom, and the raiders began to speculate on means of escape. One of the officers, Capt. Thomas II. Hines, after some study came to the conclusion that there must be an air chamber beneath the floor of t.he room, and on consultation with Morgan, Hines and five others of the same rank resolved to open a hole through the floor. They began work on the 4th of November with two steel ciise knives, and after cutting out six inches of cement and several layers of brick fotind a chamber underneath, six feet wide and four feet high. This chamber extended to the end of the wing. The preliminary work had been done with great secrecy: Iiines' cell was selected to operate in, and the opening was made in tho back part, underneath his iron cot. The material taken out was first placed in his bed tick and afterward removed to the chamber below. In order to avoid the eye of the scrub, Hines secured permission to clean his own cell as a means of exercise.
The air chamber was found to be too strongly walled in to offer a means of escape, but it proved an excellent place for secret labor in tunneling, and the plan was confided to several men of the Morgan party not included among those who were to escape. While others were working in the chamber below, which was during the day, of course, when the men were allowed tho liberty of the whole room, Hines sat in the door of his cell deeply engaged in reading. This had been his favorite pastime before tho tunnel was commenced, and was a successful device. By a system of signals made with nips on the floor Hines was able to give notice when any of the guards or keepers were in tho vicinity and likely to overhear the work. But with all precautions there were narrow escapes from discovery. The prisoners were taken to dinner in squads, and one day a squad was summoned out of the usual order, while one man of the number was in the tunnel. The name of the miss ing man was called out persistently, and Gen. Morgan, who happened to be in the hall, said promptly to the turnkey, "He is lying down in my cell he is sick." Then the general began to talk with the turnkey in a very flattering manner about a protest he thought of submitting to the authorities, and in this way beguiled the unwary fellow until the missing man got out of the tunnel and fell into his place.
The work was finally completed, after cutting through five feet of foundation wall beneath the cell, twelve feet of ce mentod filling and six feet of outer wall Four feet, of earth was removed to make place of egress. As the men to escape would bo confined at night in their separate cells it was necessary to open passages from each

cell into the air chamber. This was done from underneath, and a thin shell of the floor cement was left in place so as to declare the cell inspectors. The tunnel led no farther than the prison yard, and around this was a wall twenty-five feet high, which the fugitive* must surmount in some way. For this purpose a rope was plaited from bedclothing torn into strips, and a stove poker supplied material for a strong grappling hook to secure one end of the rope to the top of the wall. Another nice point was to epy out a place to scale the wall, for it could not le neen from the prison windows bv men standing on the floor.
claimed "March on! Carry me into the fort, for I will die at the head o£ my column!" Two aids raised him, and carried him into tle work just as the two columns met on the parade.
Loud huzzahs signalized the victory, which, however, had not been won so easily as it is told. Not a musket was fired by the Americans, yet they literally fought their way in. Lieut. Gibbon lost seventeen killed and wounded out of his little forlorn party of twenty. Col. De l^leury entered the work first and struck the British flag. A Maj. Posey mounted the rampart at tho same instant, calling out amid the battle din the significant British watchword of the night, the one used by the negro, "The fort's our own!"
In the first stroke the Americans were warned against attacking their own men —for it was pitch dark—by pieces of white cloth sewed in their hats for badges. The garrison surrendered, «nd not a life was taken after quarter is asked. Such clemency was not always accorded by the British when places were stormed, especially by the foreign mercenaries of that array. Several British vessels lying in the harbor were not included in the surrender, but on the alarm of attack quietly slipped their cables and dropped down the river. Daylight found the Americans in full possession, and the commander-in-chief was apprised of the success of his masterly and daring plan by a note from Wayne, which read:
W I A STONY PorsT 16th July 17TD. 2 o'clock n. in. DEAR GKS'L—Tho fort ft Garrison with Col. Johnston are ours. Our officers & men behaved like men who are determined to be fre^. Yours most sincerely. ANTHOKY WAVNE.
Gen'l Washington. In this exploit, which has been called the most brilliant in the revolutiouary war, Wayne's loss was fifteen killed and eightythree wounded. This was remarkably small, but the darkness and the firing over heads, which favors the assailants in mounting heights, rather than the weakness of the opposition, account for this.
The British reported twenty killed, but the Americans accounted for sixty-three of the enemy's dead and C43prisouers, including the nmnander.
The rewards for this daring piece of work show the estimation in which it was held by the country. Congress ordered a gold medal for Wayne and silver medals for the division leaders, De Fleury and Stewart. Lieuts. Gibbon and Knox, leaders of the forlorn parties, each received the brevet of captain. On lierefcommendation of Washington and Wayne the value of the military stores captured were divided among the officers and meu who took part in the capture. The sum total was $158,040. The first man to enter the British works received $500, the second, $400 the third, $300 the fourth, ?200, and the fifth, J100.
Gen. Wayne, whose success in this hazardous exploit justified the high confidence Washington had in him, was lifted atonce into prominence. He was a volunteer. His home was Pennsylvania, and at the time of storming Stony Point he was 34 years

?](!. Before the war he was a surveyor and held some colonial oflice. He wu-i a colonel in the army of Gen. Thomas in the expedition to Cauada in 1775-70, and won a brigadier's commission. He next served with Washington at Brandywine and Germautowu, 1777, and at Monmouth, 177S. At tho Brandywine he was charged with the defense of Chodd's Ford, which ho accomplished. At Germantown he fought well and drove the enemy, and at Monmouth distinguished himself in brilliant manceuvers. After Stony Point lie went south with the Pennsylvania troops, was with Lafayette iu Virginia, and later conducted the war in Georgia. After the war he served iu councils, and in 1792 succeeded Geu. St. Clair in the war against western Indians. His victory over the powerful Miainis and the treaty following added to his fame. He died in 1796, and his remains lie in Delaware county, where a monument lias been erected by the Society of the Cincinnati. His general reputation as a soldier was summed up in the phrase: "Where Wayne is, there is fighting always. That is his business."
Among the good words brought out by the Stony Point victory were these. Gen. Charles Lee. by no means a Wayne partisan, wrote: "I do most seriously declare that your assault of Stony Point is not only the most brilliant, in my opinion, throughout the whole course of the war on either side, but that it is the most brilliant I am acquainted with in history. The assault of Scliweidnitz by Marshal Lanilon I think inferior to it."
Tho celebrated Dr. Rush wrote from Philadelphia: "Our streets rang for many days with nothing but the name of Gen. Wayne. You are remembered constantly, next to our good and great Washington, over our claret and Madeira. You have established the national character of our country you have taught our enemies that bravery, humanity and magnanimity are the native virtues of the Americans." Of Wayne's marshals in this assault, De Fleury was a French nobleman and a trained military engineer. For gallantry at the Brandywine congress gave him a horse. Tins medal presented him for Stony Point bore the inscription, "The American republic has bestowed (this medal) on Col. D. de Fleury, a native of France, the first over the walls." Maj. Stewart, was killed during the war at Charleston, S. C., by a fall from his horse. Lieut. James Gibbon, who led one forlorn hope, served through the war and became a major.
Even the negro who played such an important part came in for a reivard. He is a slave belonging to a Captain Lamb, and his master presented him a horse and exempted him from all labor as a reward for his services to Wayne in that doubly daring expedition against the fortress of Stony Point.
