BACK INTO THE COUNTY JAIL

Escaped Prisoners Apprehended at

Milroy and Sheriff Cox Returns

Martin to Greenfield

Sheriff Jesse Cox last week placed Cordia Martin behind the bars of the Hancock county jail for the second time.- Martin was arrested at Milroy, Rush county, Thursday on suspicion. He was with Leonard Fletcher, the escaped convict, when arrested. The officers telephoned to Sheriff Cox and with Frank Brandenberg left at noon Thursday for Rushville, where the men had been taken. Fletcher was left in the custody of the Marion county sheriff at Indianapolis and Martin was brought on to this city.

Fletcher was sentenced to the Michigan City prison and was to have been taken away on the morning that he and Martin eseaped from the jail in this city. Martin was in jail awaiting grand jury action on a charge of burglary. So far as the public had been informed nothing had been heard of the two men since their escape until the news of their arrest yesterday. The sheriff, however, had received some trace of them and had not abandoned hope of turning the keys on them again. Mr. Cox was chagrined over the escape of the men and hence is feeling pretty good to know that he has apprehended them.

Martin presented a forbidding picture when he arrived on the 8 o'clock car last night with the sheriff from Indianapolis. His clothing was dirty, old and torn. And shackled as he was it was indeed an object lesson of the fruits of an evil life that he presented. Only a few months ago he was respected and well dressed. Now he returns to answer to the serious crime of jail breaking after weeks of association with a convicted forger.

Interest was intense in the return of the escaped prisoners and perhaps one hundred men were at the station when the 7 o'clock car arrived, the expectation being that the officers would return by the way of Knightstown. When they did not come the crowd waited for the 8, and crowded about the sheriff and the prisoner when the stepped from the car. Mr. Cox, however, gave Martin no time to hold any reception, but hustled him on to the bastile, and after he had him secure said to The Republican "I'll keep my eye on the gentleman from now on."

As it would .be as convenient to leave Indianapolis for the prison with Fletcher as to go by any other route the sheriff determined to leave the convicted man in the strong Marion county jail until he could continue with him on the northern trip which was interupted several weeks ago.

Story of the Arrest.

The Rushville Republican contains the following story of the arrest: "Sheriff Clata Bebout and Deputy Sheriff Kinnear captured two jail breakers from Greenfield this morning near Milroy. Sheriff Cox, of Hancock county, came this afternoon, identified the two as the ones he wanted and took them back to Greenfield with him. They escaped from the jail there five -weeks ago and have been wanted by the police since that time. "Sheriff Bebout received a telephone message early this morning from the sheriff of Decatur county at Greensburg, stating that two tramps who were believed to be the two men who escaped from Greenfield several weeks ago, were headed this way. The sheriff told the local sheriff that the two men had been put off a Big Four gravel train near Sundusky below Greensburg and had started up the railroad in this direction. "Sheriff Bebout and his deputy went to Milroy this morning and wefe soon on the trail of the escaped prisoners. They located two suspicions looking characters standing on the river bridge north of Milroy. They watched them for several minutes from a barn where they were hiding and were undecided to take them for fear they were not the right men. "During the careful proceedings a Milroy man passed in his automobile and was hailed by the sheriff. The Milroy man said that they were the same men who had passed .through Milroy and that he believed that they were the ones wanted. In the meantime the men moved over under the railroad bridge near here. This gave the sheriff and his deputy an opportunity to slip up on the jail breakers, which they did. One of the men refused to come* for a time, but finally acqniesed to the officers wishes. 'They gave their names as Charles Frost and Charles Staney. They were informed for what they wet© wanted and denied that they were the right men. They said that they had never been in Greenfield. Frost acted mean for a time and threatened to cause trouble. They were brought

£??_ "5

here and placed in jail and the Hancock county official immediately notified. They answered exactly the description of the two men wanted in Greenfield. One of them was tall and the other one short and both wore overalls."

Sheriff Jesse Cox allowed "no grass to grow under his feet" until he left with Leonard Fletcher for the Michigan City prison and by this time the big fellow who was taken into custody Thursday at Milroy, is now one of Warden Reid's charges at the Prison North.

Fletcher is come to be considered a bad man. He has a criminal career of considerable volume for one of his years and was still on the job when his career was checked Thursday.

Fletcher has given the Hancock county authorities endless trouble ever since he left the U. "S. army. For two or three years he succeeded in evading arrests orf grand jury indictments, until one day in passing the Fan saloon in Indianapolis Sheriff Cox saw him drinking at the bar. The officer went inside and placed his man under arrest. He was wanted for assault and for forgery. He was tried on the first charge, but not convi of re a a guilty to forgery and was paroled. He failed to walk the prescribed path and was taken into custody again and the parole revoked. The following morning when the sheriff went to his cell to have him prepare for the journey to Michigan City the bird had flown.
