Between 3 and 4 o'clock the watchmen i>T MoCebe in hia oelL They occupied seats im'Ai the cell door and both fell into a sleep in wL2c*" they remained until 4 o'clock. Upon awakening -h that hour they disoovsred that their prisont? had fled. They claim that they were drugged.The general theory is that tbe escape waa the reeult of a well laid plan, in which a number of confederates figured. Upon examination of the look this morning it was discovered that the bolts had been removed by some one in theoorridor outside the cell and the iron csss plsoed back over tbe lock. When the time for escape came it was possible for the prisoner to reach through an aperture in the door through which his meals were passed and taks oft the lock. This done he went to the ooat of one of the sleeping watchmen—Oilpin —whioh hung near the oell door. From the pocket of the coat he prooured the key to the outer jail door. This set the prisoner free. In his oell wae found a big cluh four feet long, and in his bed lay a file, one end of whioh had been formed into a screw-driver. Tbe responsibility is mainly plaoed upon the watchmen. The day fixed for MoCabe's execution was Thursday, May 96, and preparations were in progress for the hanging, as it waa thought the Board of Pardone would not interfere further to save the life of the doomed man. The work of building the scaffold was well under way. Train*Wrecker* Shot.
