Assisted by the Warden's Wife, They Overpower the Guards and Make Good Their Escape—A Sensational Affair. PITTSBURG, Jan. SO.—Edward aad John Biddle, awaiting execution ia the eounty Jail for tha murder of Grocer Thou. D. Kahney, of Mt Washington, overpowered' the guards at 4 o'clock tbia morning and escaped. Both prisoners bad beea provided with saws, with which they cat the bars ln their cells and were ready at any moment to make an opening sufficiently large ss pose through. The prisoners occupied adjoining sells, on tbe second range. They had ■ evidently been preparing for escape for some time, and bad assistance trom the outside, as both men were armed with revolvers. Shortly before 4 o'clook one of the .Biddies called to James McCeary, who had charge of the outside gates, and asked for some cramp medicine in a hurry, saying his brotber was dangerously sick. McGeary hastened to the oell whea John Biddle sprang through "the opening ln the cell and, seizing the guard around' the waist, hurled bim over the railing to the stone iloor beneath, a distance of sixteen teet Edward Biddle joined his brother Immediately, and both, with drawn re- ' volvers, hurried to tbe first floor, where , thev met Guard Reynolds and shot him. There Were but three men on dutv and the third was on one of the appcr ranges. Hn was ordered down at tho point of the revolvers, and tbe throe guards < were put Into the dungeon. Tbe keys wero taken from Keener McGeary, und the two dosptr- ato nrisoner had a clear field. The only persons who witnessed tine escape. were prisoners, who could not interfere to give an alarm. The Biddies went to a wardrobe wh'^re tho guards kept their clothing, and each put on a new suit Thev then unlocked the outside gate and passed out into Ross street. The escape was not discovered until .the daylight guards came on duty at 6 o'clock. They were informed by prisoners where the night guards had been put, and they were soon released ' from the dungeon and sent to the Homeopathic hospital. The two injured guards will probably recover. The bullet wound sustained by Reynolds is not regarded as dangerous. The physicians have not been able tp ascertain as yet the lull extent of McUeary's wounds. His bead is badly contused, but there are no signs that his skull was fractured by the sixteen-foot fall. The escape of the Biddies bas been explained. Warden Peter K. soffel has ' authorized its publication. It ie the allegation that his wife is responsible for the. furnishing of the revolvers and sa ws to the Biddies, which enahied tbem to escape. In her infatuation for the handsome desperado, Edward Biddle, It is aUeged that She has left her husband and four children, and it is supposed Is to meet the escaped convicts at a place agreed •upon. Tlie story ot the matter is brief. Mrs. 8cffel was-the only person admitted to the jail since last Sunday. Yesterday afternoon she visited' them during the warden's absence. Laat evening sbe retired St 3 o'clook. She told her husband that she was going to visit a Sister at McDonald.' Later, when the details cf the escape became known, he telephoned to McDonald and was informed that Mrs. Soffel was not tbere. Warden Soffel Immediately mado a frank confession of his suspicions. District Attorney'John C. Haymaker had a conference with Warden Soffel at aoon, and tbe warden told him of his .suspicions concerning Mrs. Soffel. The warden has made Inquiries at the hemes of all of his wife's relatives and he has been unable to find any trace of her. An investigation disclosed the fact that she had taken all of her best clothes with her. The .warden's overcoat is also missing. R is reported that the Biddies took a train at the Fourth avenue station of thja' Pan Handle road, whieh is within a block rf the jail, and left for the west Warden Soffel is broken-hearted. He Is completely unnerved and with difficulty could repress his tears. It has been known for several weeks that Mrs. Soffel was taking an interest Iu the Biddlea, and lt ls said that | She frequently tarnished them with dainties outside of their usual prison fare. The county commissioners met thts afternoon and offered a reward of |B,- 000 tor the capture of the murderers. The prison board began an tnveetiga- tion this afternoon and announced upon adjournment tonight.that Warden Soffel, at his own request, had been relieved from duty pending ths result of the Investigation, Deputy Warden Marshal was placed ia charge temporarily. Nothing else was given out James Francis Burks and J. D. Watson, the attorneys who defended the Biddies at their trial, and the former,' of wbom was instrumental in securing .their respite, have announced that their connection with the case is end- el, and Attorney Burke has telegraphed the governor that the application for a hearing before the pardon board is withdrawn. Tn to a tate hour tonight not the slightest cine as to the whereabouts of anv of the fugitives has been dies- covered. Fnr several months preceding fhe Kahney murder, daring burglaries were of almost nightly occurrence. The police seemed powerless to prevent them On tbe morning of April IS, last, Mrs, Kahney was awakened by burglars and called to her husband, a cripple, who Was sleeping in an adjoining room with one of his children. Aa he outered the door ot his wife's room he was shot dead. The burglars th<>n fled. A few bours later Detective Patrick Fitzgerald and two officers surprised the Riddle brothers at their home, but before they were captured Fitzgerald was killed and Edward Biddle, who shot him, was dangerously wounded, Walter Dorman, another of the gang, and two women, Jessie Bodine and Jennie Seebors, were also arrested.

The greater portion of fhe day was spent among children and the admiral shook hands with about 1,000 boys aad girls, who expressed their pleasure by cheering their visitor and presenting him with flowers. The most enthusiastic demonstration of Admiral Schley's visit took place thin afternoon as he was leaving the Pendennis olub la ths carriage wbich was to take him to the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' horns. As he stepped Into the vehicle it was surrounded by nundreds of cheering men. women and children who hsd gathered in the street for half an hour and who pressed around him to shake bis hand. The forward movement of the admiral's oarrlage and a platoon of mounted police, who acted as a guard of honor, finally got the admiral clear of the crowd.

CHARGED THAT SCHLEY IGNORES REAL CHARGES. THK QUESTION OF COMMAND, To Whieh Ow Admiral's "mnssl Tries to Shift Ground. Ii et and Answered WASHINGTON, Jan. 80.—The comment df Judge Advocate General Lem- ley and Solicitor Hanna upoa the appeal of Admiral Schley, as submitted to the President by Secretary Long, Is less tban a third as long as the appeal itself, a fact accounted for by the comparatively fow quotations from the court's testimony in the case of the comment The commentators begin With tbe statement that Admiral Schlev and Lis counsel have shifted their ground. They say the chief features of the case were "tbe retrograde movement,1* "disobedience of orders," "inaccurate and misleading official reports," "failure to destroy vessels Of the enemy lying within sight" and "Injustice to brother officers." These matters are all grave. The flrst was that the finest aggregation of American naval vessels under one command was, by Schley's direction, turned about and headed for Key West, more tban 709 miles distant, when within twenty-two miles of Santiago, where the enemy's ships were. The second was that Schley deliberately and knowingly disobeyed the secretary's order overtaking him in his retrograde movement. The. third was that Schley's reason, officially given, tae the retrograde movement and disobedience of orders, "Short of coal," was not true. The truth was that for three days some of the Spanish ships lay .within reach of the flying squadron, and no sufficient effort was made to destroy them. The fifth involves the point of honor. The commentators say: "Upon all the above named features, believed by us to he the most important, if aot the only really important matters, into which the court mado Inquiry, the oonduct of Admiral Schley was condemned by that most dis- guished tribunal. Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals'Benham and Ramsey united in their findings and opinion upon all of these several points, and they united also in tbe significant recommendation that no further proeeed- be had ln view of the length of time that has elapsed since the occurrence of the events in the Santiago campaign The commentators charge that Admiral Schley now Ignores all these grave matters and bases his appeal upon unimportant features of the case as compared with the grave matters above referred to, "upon which ther a was not,- and tu tae race of the testimony, could aot have been any difference of opinion in the court" The commentators say they recognize the fact that Admiral Schley devoted by far the larger part of his appeal to the question of command and consequently give that question a proportionate space in their comment Tbey' declare that the question ls between Sampson and Schley, both alike Interested, and to investigate it fairly both should be heard. Such incidental testimony oa this point as came before the conrt was on Schley's side only and the doors were entirely closed to Sampson. They add: "To determine an important question of this nature, under such conditions, is contrary to the underlying principles of Anglo-Saxon justice. Nevertheless, this is precisely what the appeal asks the President to do." It le admitted that the precept was broad enough to have permitted the oourt to go into this question, but lt ls recalled tbat the judge advocate, thnuch expressing a willingness to enter upon it, the court did not deem lt necessary or proper to do so. The judge advocate, they say, might have shown that it was Admiral Samnson's plan of night blockade tbat forced Cervera to come out In the daylight, and Captain Clark ls quoted to support that statement. They quote Admiral Schley in his testimony to the effect that the American shlps^charged "in accordance to th» original plan to sink the enemy in the channel" and that "that plan failed because the enemy succeeded reaPy tn passing the battle line.." They ask why did the enemy succeed, and declare "the Brooklyn, having | abandoned her position on the left of the Imp, thereby left an unguarded opening along the western shore, through which the Spanish fleet passed our ships and attempted to escape." The court's opinion ls quoted to the effect that the Brooklyn lost distance and'position by the "loop" and delayed the Texas. To sustain their contention tbat Sampson was In command. *.W cenfmentators quote passages from Schley's report of July 6, 1898, as follows: 'Tho torpedo boat destroyers were destroyed early ln the action but the smoke was so dense in their direction that I carnot say to which vessel or vessels the credit belongs. Tbis, doubtless, was better seen from your flagship.' "Tlie dense smoke of the combat shut out from my view the Indiana and Gloucester, but, as those vessels were closer to your flagship, no doubt their part in tbe conflict was under your immediate observation." They remark: •Nobody has ever disputed (Jrant's title to the viotory at Appomattox, though then lying sick some miles from the place of surrender, so far that it was feared he could not be reached Within til* perid ot armlsttcs. Though Howard was senior officer present at the capture or Savannah andBherman abs»nt on one of Admiral Dahlgren's gunboats, nobody had questioned Sher- m.in'e tmmoxm report to Lincoln: *[ beg to present aa a Christmas gift, the city of Savannah.' "And as allowing Sehley'a own opinion of wbo was in command, they quote this passage from the dispatch of July 19,18U8, to ths secretary of tbs navy: 'By some misunderstand ing the newspaper accounts of July 8, have attributed Victory of July 4 almoet entirely to ma Victory was secured by the forc« under tfie commander la chief of the North Atlantic squadron, and to him the honor is das." Further they quote Schley's letter of December 18, 1801, to Secretary Long, justifying tiie "loop" on the expressed ground that it waa made "in the execution of the standing order to cloae in." It Is asked, "Bat If he was thea himself ta command, how happens it tbat he was executing the orders of somebody else In command?" Before tbe conrt of Inquiry every prop to support the contention that Commodore Schley did anything to achieve the victory by Issuing orders as commanding officer of the American fleet, waa removed. The plain truth was for the first time revealed that "Commodore Schley did not exercise command oa that day over any ship, except to some extent his own flagship, the Brooklyn." The comment at this point contains a number of extracts from the testimony to sustain their contention. "The weight of the testimony ls to the effect that the commodore controlled the movements of his flagship, the Brooklyn, well, with the exception of the "loop." But lt also shows, not negatively, hut affirmatively, aad beyond ouestion, that he did not oontrol the operations of the fleet in general on that day." . OBITUARY. Mrs. Matilda Newton.

J 81 THE BIDDLE BROTHERS BREAK JAIL AT PITTSBURG. Assisted by the Warden's Wife, They Overpower the Guards and Make Good Their Escape—A Sensational Affair. PITTSBURG, Jan. SO.—Edward aad John Biddle, awaiting execution ia the eounty Jail for tha murder of Grocer Thou. D. Kahney, of Mt Washington, overpowered' the guards at 4 o'clock tbia morning and escaped. Both prisoners bad beea provided with saws, with which they cat the bars ln their cells and were ready at any moment to make an opening sufficiently large ss pose through. The prisoners occupied adjoining sells, on tbe second range. They had ■ evidently been preparing for escape for some time, and bad assistance trom the outside, as both men were armed with revolvers. Shortly before 4 o'clook one of the .Biddies called to James McCeary, who had charge of the outside gates, and asked for some cramp medicine in a hurry, saying his brotber was dangerously sick. McGeary hastened to the oell whea John Biddle sprang through "the opening ln the cell and, seizing the guard around' the waist, hurled bim over the railing to the stone iloor beneath, a distance of sixteen teet Edward Biddle joined his brother Immediately, and both, with drawn re- ' volvers, hurried to tbe first floor, where , thev met Guard Reynolds and shot him. There Were but three men on dutv and the third was on one of the appcr ranges. Hn was ordered down at tho point of the revolvers, and tbe throe guards < were put Into the dungeon. Tbe keys wero taken from Keener McGeary, und the two dosptr- ato nrisoner had a clear field. The only persons who witnessed tine escape. were prisoners, who could not interfere to give an alarm. The Biddies went to a wardrobe wh'^re tho guards kept their clothing, and each put on a new suit Thev then unlocked the outside gate and passed out into Ross street. The escape was not discovered until .the daylight guards came on duty at 6 o'clock. They were informed by prisoners where the night guards had been put, and they were soon released ' from the dungeon and sent to the Homeopathic hospital. The two injured guards will probably recover. The bullet wound sustained by Reynolds is not regarded as dangerous. The physicians have not been able tp ascertain as yet the lull extent of McUeary's wounds. His bead is badly contused, but there are no signs that his skull was fractured by the sixteen-foot fall. The escape of the Biddies bas been explained. Warden Peter K. soffel has ' authorized its publication. It ie the allegation that his wife is responsible for the. furnishing of the revolvers and sa ws to the Biddies, which enahied tbem to escape. In her infatuation for the handsome desperado, Edward Biddle, It is aUeged that She has left her husband and four children, and it is supposed Is to meet the escaped convicts at a place agreed •upon. Tlie story ot the matter is brief. Mrs. 8cffel was-the only person admitted to the jail since last Sunday. Yesterday afternoon she visited' them during the warden's absence. Laat evening sbe retired St 3 o'clook. She told her husband that she was going to visit a Sister at McDonald.' Later, when the details cf the escape became known, he telephoned to McDonald and was informed that Mrs. Soffel was not tbere. Warden Soffel Immediately mado a frank confession of his suspicions. District Attorney'John C. Haymaker had a conference with Warden Soffel at aoon, and tbe warden told him of his .suspicions concerning Mrs. Soffel. The warden has made Inquiries at the hemes of all of his wife's relatives and he has been unable to find any trace of her. An investigation disclosed the fact that she had taken all of her best clothes with her. The .warden's overcoat is also missing. R is reported that the Biddies took a train at the Fourth avenue station of thja' Pan Handle road, whieh is within a block rf the jail, and left for the west Warden Soffel is broken-hearted. He Is completely unnerved and with difficulty could repress his tears. It has been known for several weeks that Mrs. Soffel was taking an interest Iu the Biddlea, and lt ls said that | She frequently tarnished them with dainties outside of their usual prison fare. The county commissioners met thts afternoon and offered a reward of |B,- 000 tor the capture of the murderers.

CHARGED THAT SCHLEY IGNORES REAL CHARGES. THK QUESTION OF COMMAND, To Whieh Ow Admiral's "mnssl Tries to Shift Ground. Ii et and Answered WASHINGTON, Jan. 80.—The comment df Judge Advocate General Lem- ley and Solicitor Hanna upoa the appeal of Admiral Schley, as submitted to the President by Secretary Long, Is less tban a third as long as the appeal itself, a fact accounted for by the comparatively fow quotations from the court's testimony in the case of the comment The commentators begin With tbe statement that Admiral Schlev and Lis counsel have shifted their ground. They say the chief features of the case were "tbe retrograde movement,1* "disobedience of orders," "inaccurate and misleading official reports," "failure to destroy vessels Of the enemy lying within sight" and "Injustice to brother officers." These matters are all grave. The flrst was that the finest aggregation of American naval vessels under one command was, by Schley's direction, turned about and headed for Key West, more tban 709 miles distant, when within twenty-two miles of Santiago, where the enemy's ships were. The second was that Schley deliberately and knowingly disobeyed the secretary's order overtaking him in his retrograde movement. The. third was that Schley's reason, officially given, tae the retrograde movement and disobedience of orders, "Short of coal," was not true. The truth was that for three days some of the Spanish ships lay .within reach of the flying squadron, and no sufficient effort was made to destroy them. The fifth involves the point of honor. The commentators say: "Upon all the above named features, believed by us to he the most important, if aot the only really important matters, into which the court mado Inquiry, the oonduct of Admiral Schley was condemned by that most dis- guished tribunal. Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals'Benham and Ramsey united in their findings and opinion upon all of these several points, and they united also in tbe significant recommendation that no further proeeed- be had ln view of the length of time that has elapsed since the occurrence of the events in the Santiago campaign The commentators charge that Admiral Schley now Ignores all these grave matters and bases his appeal upon unimportant features of the case as compared with the grave matters above referred to, "upon which ther a was not,- and tu tae race of the testimony, could aot have been any difference of opinion in the court" The commentators say they recognize the fact that Admiral Schley devoted by far the larger part of his appeal to the question of command and consequently give that question a proportionate space in their comment Tbey' declare that the question ls between Sampson and Schley, both alike Interested, and to investigate it fairly both should be heard. Such incidental testimony oa this point as came before the conrt was on Schley's side only and the doors were entirely closed to Sampson. They add: "To determine an important question of this nature, under such conditions, is contrary to the underlying principles of Anglo-Saxon justice. Nevertheless, this is precisely what the appeal asks the President to do." It le admitted that the precept was broad enough to have permitted the oourt to go into this question, but lt ls recalled tbat the judge advocate, thnuch expressing a willingness to enter upon it, the court did not deem lt necessary or proper to do so. The judge advocate, they say, might have shown that it was Admiral Samnson's plan of night blockade tbat forced Cervera to come out In the daylight, and Captain Clark ls quoted to support that statement. They quote Admiral Schley in his testimony to the effect that the American shlps^charged "in accordance to th» original plan to sink the enemy in the channel" and that "that plan failed because the enemy succeeded reaPy tn passing the battle line.." They ask why did the enemy succeed, and declare "the Brooklyn, having | abandoned her position on the left of the Imp, thereby left an unguarded opening along the western shore, through which the Spanish fleet passed our ships and attempted to escape." The court's opinion ls quoted to the effect that the Brooklyn lost distance and'position by the "loop" and delayed the Texas. To sustain their contention tbat Sampson was In command. *.W cenfmentators quote passages from Schley's report of July 6, 1898, as follows: 'Tho torpedo boat destroyers were destroyed early ln the action but the smoke was so dense in their direction that I carnot say to which vessel or vessels the credit belongs. Tbis, doubtless, was better seen from your flagship.' "Tlie dense smoke of the combat shut out from my view the Indiana and Gloucester, but, as those vessels were closer to your flagship, no doubt their part in tbe conflict was under your immediate observation." They remark: •Nobody has ever disputed (Jrant's title to the viotory at Appomattox, though then lying sick some miles from the place of surrender, so far that it was feared he could not be reached Within til* perid ot armlsttcs. Though Howard was senior officer present at the capture or Savannah andBherman abs»nt on one of Admiral Dahlgren's gunboats, nobody had questioned Sher- m.in'e tmmoxm report to Lincoln: *[ beg to present aa a Christmas gift, the city of Savannah.' "And as allowing Sehley'a own opinion of wbo was in command, they quote this passage from the dispatch of July 19,18U8, to ths secretary of tbs navy: 'By some misunderstand ing the newspaper accounts of July 8, have attributed Victory of July 4 almoet entirely to ma Victory was secured by the forc« under tfie commander la chief of the North Atlantic squadron, and to him the honor is das." Further they quote Schley's letter of December 18, 1801, to Secretary Long, justifying tiie "loop" on the expressed ground that it waa made "in the execution of the standing order to cloae in." It Is asked, "Bat If he was thea himself ta command, how happens it tbat he was executing the orders of somebody else In command?" Before tbe conrt of Inquiry every prop to support the contention that Commodore Schley did anything to achieve the victory by Issuing orders as commanding officer of the American fleet, waa removed. The plain truth was for the first time revealed that "Commodore Schley did not exercise command oa that day over any ship, except to some extent his own flagship, the Brooklyn." The comment at this point contains a number of extracts from the testimony to sustain their contention. "The weight of the testimony ls to the effect that the commodore controlled the movements of his flagship, the Brooklyn, well, with the exception of the "loop." But lt also shows, not negatively, hut affirmatively, aad beyond ouestion, that he did not oontrol the operations of the fleet in general on that day." . OBITUARY. Mrs. Matilda Newton.
