STORY OF ESCAPE (Continued Froms First Page.) .j jj of the prisoners' cell was securelv fastened. After the jailer had made his last tour of inspection for the night, Sloan went to the prisoners to see about some article of their bedding. After he had finished the matter he slammed the door of the cell and locked it but failed to also lock the box on the outside containing the bar that secures the cell. One imprisoned could easily gain access to the confining bolt merely by reaching throagh the grating, the hole in which offered resistance for the ar mto gain sufficient leverage to enable the bolt to be lifted up. Sloan was not only negligent here, as averred, but on the first floor, had also neglected to lock the massive door securing the prison proper from the kitchen, the windows of which are not barred. The Escape. When Sloan went from the corridor to the office on the first floor and sat down in the chair, Ricker crept up to a crevice through which he gained a view of the interior of the office. Sloan was sitting with closed eyes, according to Ricker, and appeared to be dozing. Ricker sprang back to Redmond who, in the meantime, had tried the door, and found it unlocked, and together the two made their escape into the kitchen, where after raising the screen to the nearest window they dropped to the ground and made their escape. Two women prisoners, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Miller, confined on the charges of counterfeiting and bigamy, respectively, heard the crash of the screen when the men dropped it and speculated quite a while on the probable cause without, however, notifying anybody. Sloan is thought to have been fast asleep for the crash of the screen was sufficiently loud to attract the attenThey left the saloon and took unfrequented streets and alleys until they reached the home of Redmond's father on Winona street, where the son procured a change of clothing and a dollar in money. They left the place as soon as these tion of one who might have heard it. The men ran to the alley in the rear of the jail, going to a saloon on Second street where Ricker is said to have secured financial aid from a friend.
To Father's Home. f" ' had been secured, going down McLain street where they encountered a police officer, who naturally knew nothing of the escape and made no effort to apprehend them. Hnally the railroad yards werereached and the lads took a southbound train to Hamilton fi om which place they intended to take another train to Richmond, in the vicinity of which place the father of Ricker lives. Among the first to be notified of the escape by the sheriff was Magistrate Alteck, to whose efforts extending over the ieriod of a year and a half, the original capture of Ricker was due. Mr. Alteck 's residence was burglarized some time ago, he discovering the looters upon his return from lodge late at night. A pitched battle resulted between the plucky magistrate and the intruders who succeeded in making their escape, not, however before Mr. Alteck had succeeded in recognizing Ricker, who is said to have been one of the party. Ever since then Mr. Alteck kept a lookout for Ricker and his search was rewarded last month by his capture at the home of his father near Richmond. Arriving at Richmond he secured the services of Leroy Edwards, a brave and efficient officer of the Rich
mond police force, bearing a fine rec ord tor sleuth work, (The story of the capture here following is the same as printed in yesterday's Palladium.) Again Confined. The sheriff has determined to take no more chances with the prisoners and hereafter they will be confined in remote cells with the others where they can be more closely watched. The boys' department at the jail is too remote .and too insecure for the confinement of such shrewd criminals as these lads have proved to be while they have gone so far along criminal paths that they have but little to learn fro mthe older prisoners at the jail from whose contaminating influences they were intended to be removed when they were sent to the boys' department. Upon their return to jail the sheriff ordered them to be locked up in their cells for the purpose of disciplining them, and hereafter they will be confined in the most secure parts of the jail, Ricker going to the first floor and Redmond to the second. The credit of their speedy capture belongs almost wholly to Magistrate Alteck and to Officer Edwards, who gave valuable assistance, and they will probably secure the reward offered for the capture of the two. Cholera Infantum Tfrte disease has lost its terrors since Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy came into general use. The uniform success which attends the use of this remedy in all cases of bowel complaints in children has made it a favorite wherever its value has become known. For sale by A. G. Luken & Co., and W.
