On* of bis accomplice*—Harris—escaped from the jail a day or two after his arrest and has not been ret-uptur^d. Jailer Davis is puzzled to kuow how I-*al got possession of the saw. Ho has always heeu particular about allowing Leal or Foley to receive visitors, and uever allowed any one to see them until they had been thoroughly searched. I .eal was recently convicted of a charge of obtaining $200 from H. K. Thurber, the New York grocer, under false pretenses. He was also convloted of threatening to blow up Peter Hsuck's brewery at Harrison. He wus sentenced to three years in state prison. but an appeal has been taken to the supreme court., and pending the decision he is permitted to remain In the county jail. The rail which I«al occupied is No. 4 and fnces the courthouse side of the jail. Had he succeeded in getting out he would then have had to cut the bars on the juil windows before he could have escaped. Notwithstanding Foley's denial Jailer Pavis believes he was concerned in the attempted escape and that it was the purpose »>f the two prisoners to overpower Watchman Burns and lock him in their cell, following the example of Palllster and Boehl at Sing Sing. The hole in the cell door was made with a saw three inches long and one inch wide. Tho saw was found on the cell floor. !<eal said it belonged to him, but he declined to say when or how he received it. He admitted that be had cut the. bars and said it had taken him several hours to do the job. In the cell with Ixwl was Edward Foley, one of the three men arrested a short while ago for stealing $20,000 worth of tobacco from the Hamburg steamship dock iu Hobokt-n. He told the jail officials that lie was not concerned in local's attempt to escape. He assisted Hanley and Burns in pulling Leal l>ack into the cell. The prisoner was in the same position as when liui us discovered bim. Hanley covered hiin with a revolver anil told him not to move. There was no occasion for such a command. The prisoner, who was John Lntl. under sentence of three years' imprisonment in state prison, was caught tight bet.vieg rite cell bars.

Iodiann county, deceased, either intentionally or else laboring under a misapprehension of the fact, have reported that I have in my bands money belonging to Elizabeth Devers, the widow of said deceased. Feeling the injustice of any such infiouatioaa.S feel constrained to make the following statement under oath that my neighbors and the community may know the facts. Many years ago John Devers died leaving an estate principally consisting of a farm in Banks tiwushlp. Indiana county, and left a will makiug a di-position of his property. Elizabeth Devers, the widow, and Enoch, hfs sou. were the executors of said will, and as such disposed of the e»tate. The farm was sold by them and as guardians of the minor heirs of Michael Bowers, deceased, 1 bought the farm, there was no conditions or reservations iu the sale, and the widow joined in the deed. The property was legally vested in the heirs of said Michael Bowers by me and a settlement aud discharge received from them. Elizabeth Devers came to my bouse about nineteed yean sgo and was kept and maintained by as-erer since until about the 13th day of Febrna!fy lS93, when on.account of • long oontlnued tilm** and inability, we were compelled to have her removed With the exoeptlon of the sum of one hundred and fifty-one dollars and thirtytwo cents receipted on the article ot agreement for the sale ot the said farm by George Devera, I never received any compensation of any kind for her maintainanoe neither from her nor any of her children. If my health permitted, or we were able our bouse would |>e her home for the few remalng day* of her life. 1 have been affected with sickness and uiy property < destroyed by Are. I have no complaints to make for theee visitations, as they are com man to the lot of man. And I make this statement that the community may the better judge whether under alt the circumstances myself and my family have done our duty.
