he agreed, and I said I worild make the trip

Min to come to my office, and 'we have

o'clock last night he sent word that he
wished to see me again. I went to the
guard, Oherley Rice, in the west wing, and
got his key. I then unlocked Latimer, and
he wenb with me to my office. He said he
.had buried on an island in Rhode Island the
awn of $2,800 in cash, and was in the act of

to identify him. They watched him closely

of the door some one aid:s"There ie lat-
h:tier ?" Quick es a flash he darted through
the door and wire fast disappeering in the
sernadanknees. The crowd quickly realized
it was Latimer and dashed in pursuit
There were about a dozen pursuers, led by
J. W. Morton and dames Phelps. Leti-
titer went straight to the railroad and broke
for the west Wben his pursuers reached
the track the fleeing convict was al)
least half a mile ahead of them
and running like a deer. It Was
two miles from the station when they at -
last began to overtake him. He Blipped
and was quickly eurrounded. He had not a
word to any when his pursuers were right
at him and was as cool as ice. "What are
you working at and where are you going?"
he was asked by the crowd. " am a rail-
roader and am going to Addison." He ex*
plained that a train bad broken in two and
he had fallen down an embankment sprain-
hinhis ankle. He was taken back toJerome
and searohed. A little phial eupposed to
contain pruesic acid was found in his pooleet,
Alm four $5 gold pieces and some giver.
In one of his pookets was found a cap with
"Latimer" lettered on the lining. His
captors did not ask any more questions, and
he offered no explanations.
LATIMER'S STORY OF HIS ESCAPE,
HE MADE LEMONADE,
completing each glass with a fluid which he
drew from a soda water bottle, the name of
'which I have forgotten, but Latimer said it
was all right.
" I drank about two-thirds of a glass
when I became deadly sick, and was forced
to lie down one bench. For some time I
lay there with Latimer sitting beside me,
he asking repeatedly how I felt. Suddenly
I heard. a crash. Latimer remarked, that it
.sounded like crockery breaking. I was so
sick I could not etand, and taking the inside
gate key from my pocket I handed 0 to him
with the remark that lie had better go to
the head of tbe stairs and see what was the
'matter. He started, but what he saw at
tile second gate is unlmovvn. The
supposition, however, is that he
found Mr. Haight lying on the
stone floor of the guard -room. Latimer
noticed the plug was out of ite position in
this gate, and knew at a glance that to open
the gate ne had but to move the lever. He
procured a cane with a crook at the end,
rend reaching through the bars drew the
lever and opened the gate. Haight was
then insensible, and had fallen from his
chair. Latimer went to the key chest,
where he found the key to the rifle cabinet
and took two repeating rifles below and
concealed them. Charles Rice, the guard
In the west wing, then oame to the gate and
asked 'what the matter was. I heard
Latimer sey that Haight was dying. I was
still lying down, but jumped tip, and
the three of us went upstairs. The
gate was unlocked and Haight lay
unconscious. I was so sick that I was
obliged to he down on the floor. I told
Latimer to go to the hospital and summon
assistance. He said the door was locked,
and Rice began to feel in Haight's pockets
for the keys. Latimer had taken the keys
from Haight when he first went upstairs,
and while we were going through Mr.
Itaight's pockets to find them Latimer ran
to the outside gate, unlocked 0, and made
his escape, taking the keys with him. I
touched the danger button that gives the
alarm to the vvardens. As soon as the alarm
was given I started out after Latimer, but
was eo weak and dizzy that I could hardly
stand and returned to the prison."
Haight never recovered consciousness and
he died the same night.
PRITSSIC ACID wAS ADMIMSTERED.
George W. Haight died from the effects
of prussic acid. That fact is settled. Dr.
ICimball, who took the two phials found in
the sink as well as the stomach to Ann
Arbor for analysis returned home this
morning. He says Novy, Dr. Vaughan's
asaistant in chemistry, was given the bottles.
He smelled them, and at once said, "They
both contain pniasic acid." Dr. Kimball
thinks it was in a diluted form, and thaa
this was the reason its action wail so slow.
Had the full strength of the poison been
used it would have been instant in its
action. It will take some time to analyse
the contents of the stomach.
The last phial of the drug was obtained'
last Saturday from Webb's drug store,
laving been ordered from New York some
time before. The first phial was purchased
some months ago. Evidently Latimer did
not find it to his liking, for when the order
was sent in for the second phial it Wart a
kind more carefully prepared and not kept
in drug stores in Jackson. The firm rer
fused to fill the order. "I thought," said
:Mr. Webb, " was dangerous to fill such
orders and did not do so. The clerk of
the rigout came in himself and said it was
On right. He said Latimer wanted the
pentode acid to develop some photographic
I 'latest, and I then ordered the phial from
New York and it came on Saturday. I
sent it down then."

BEVBRAI LIVES LOU,
41., Hazeltine Pe., despateh says ". At 9,30
thio morning there was aupther mine harper
jaet at the outakerts of that oily. The mine
is koown as the Liorrel Hill, end is operated
by Pardee Bros. The accident waa entreat
a repetition of the deansvilledisaeter of two
years ago, when eighteen men Were drowned.
Thu report that the water standing in the
Sugatloaf mine had burst into the Laurel
Hill, and that a cave-in followed it, was
first circulated. About 800 men are em-
ployed in this mine. Among the first to
arrive was Frank Pardee, one of the owners.
His intention of descending the ill-fated
mine was barely announced when twenty
miners stepped forward to accompany him.
He Was at once lowered to tbe pit, and
when the carriage returned Mine Superin-
tendent Durkin, heading ten more rescuere,
boarded it, and were immediately dropped
into the fateful mine. The mine is now
working the sixth lift with the seventh in
progress of sinking. The fifth lift is tee
point at which the accident happened, and
is over 600 yards below the surface, Super -
intendant Durkin and his band of rescuers
had barely reached the bottom when tbe
signal to holed again was given. The cage
had on board three grimy, excited minere.
These men had been caught by the tremend-
ous ruth of water end carried by it to the
foot of the slope. The three surnamed serious
injuries by being knocked against} timbers,
They were speedily conveyed to their homes.
The first authentic information of the dis-
aster was then made known, and proved A
eource of great relief to the throng of people
assembled.
it was about 9.30 o'clock this morning
when David Williams lit the fuse prepare -
tory to firing in No. 19. Immediately after
the blast went off a terrible roar was heard,
and an immense body of water rushed down
to No. 19 breast, filling it to the roof. The
rush of water into the gang changed the
current of air, and like a telegrapbic signal
warned all of their danger. Two men fled
to places of safety, and nearly all were res-
cued and brought to the surface. The men
are still in the mine and have no doubt per-
ished. They are Thome Mullion and John
Tremhath. Some of those rescued may die
from injuries sustained in being washed
against the rocks.
To D. 3. Lowry, who sat with Latimer
when he was being brought from Jerome to
Jackson last night, Latimer told the story
of his escape: I put oub $5 and get
a standard and complete work on toxi-
cology, I made a careful and exhaustive
study of poisons and their effects. That
book will readily prove that I did not
inbend murder, and you say that poor
Haight is dead. I vvould rather stay there
until I rotted tban to have murdered him,
end to think that I murdered him by
blundering 1 I poisoned him with a glees
of lemonade. I never thought for one
moment it would make him sleep over half
an hour."
WRY HIS PLANS MISCARRIED.
"0111 said I might carry some of
our luncheon up to Haight. Before
taking it up I. made the lemonade
and put in the powder. I went
up the zig-zag stairway, and passed
the stuff through the grating. After be
drank the lemonade I came down, and Gill
got the same dose. It was my intention to
treat theta both alike. Gill is entirely in-
nocent of anything but negligence. The
same may be truthfully said of everyone.
Do you know whea made my plans mis-
carry? It was the orasb of that dish. It
brought Rice to the acene and disarranged
everything. Haight was quiet; Gill was
nearly helpless; and I thould have had
everything all to myself 0 is had not been
for the crash of that dish. I would have
looked the guards all in. I would neve had
three hours the start before they could have
made any effort to pursue me. I should
have lefb the prison with a valise containing
two revolvers and good clothine, and before
they could have been hard after me I would
have been 200 miles away. When Rice and
I got in together where Haight was dying I
told him that there was no need of ringing
for the warden, as I had already done so.
This deceived him and the warden did not
eeme.

his race took on a very serious expression.
" I cannot tell you how the death of poor
Haight affects me. That is the only thing
that reaches my heart."
"The poison which I used," he continued,
"was a mixture of opium and prussic acid.
It was certainly not intended that there
should be enough prussic acid to be fatal.
The logic of the mixture was this : The
opium secures the usual sleeping effect and
She prussic acid secures an immediate effect.
That was the whole scheme of the Mixtrire,

"Toll Dr. MoVean to give me a decent
burial."
The coroner sent for the dootor and he
identified her as Ethel Simons or Somonds.
In his testimony he said "1 was ac-
quainted with the deceased about a month.
She said that she came here from Toronto,
Canada, but further than that I did not
know. About a month ago she called at
my office to be treated for a noise in the
head. She looked to be about 25 and talked
a great deal. I treated her and she was a
regular visitor to my office. On ene occa-
sion she told me of her great poverty. She
bad not eaten for three days and I gave her
$3. tbink she was demented. She wrote
me an affectionate epistle, but without any
encouragement from me, and I refused to
call on her at 2,204 Washington avenue. I
told her I would call rrofessionally, but not
otherwise."
Lillian Earl, of 2,204 Washington avenue,
also identified the deceased. It was with
her that deceased boarded. All that she
knew about her was that she came from
Toronto, Canada. She was a dressmaker,
but could not get work. She also had some
love trouble, because she remarked that she
had nothing to live for, as the only man she
cared for had gone back on her.

Ring Alfonso's Grandmother Creates a
Scandal in Peri%
The Paris correspondent of the National
Zeitung says ex -Queen Isabella of Spain,
grandmother of King Alfonso MIL, has
caused a scandal in her household at the
French capital by her infatuation for a
young Austrian, formerly of the Imperial
army officers' corps. She has made the
young man her private secretary in order
that he may be with her constantly, and has
withdrawn her confidence from all others of
ber suite. Her Master and Mistress of
Ceremonies have already resigned. Her
youngest daughter, the Infanta Eulalia,
wife of Prince Antoine of Bourbon-Orlemes,
and therefore dimghtenin•lew of the Duke
of al ontpensier, has been so scandalized by
her mother's behaviour, says the corre-
epondent, that, she has left Paris with her
children, and will not return until the
young Austrian shall have been banished
from the Royal household. Ex -Queen Isa-
bella is 63 years old.
