Wonderful Escape from Prison. A BURGLAR SQUEEZES THROUGH A SIx- INCH APERTURE AND SCALES A FORTY FOOT WALL. - A. burglar named Burns, tired of 2ri5Qn life, made his exit out of a cell on ti . ` u tier of ibe.Totxi i in New 11, York-1per lately. -- In the first place, :.ac- cording to the evidence now in the Warden's Burn, V s office , s. tore his blanket into shreds, which he plaited into a tope. This rope whish he evade some gin ty feet, long, is inaelriously and i t; . ; stioliaY� constructed; it would not pass- muster Daus- cluster on a elate -of -war's deck belt coiled up on the floor of th e War- den's office it would readily pass for aa, •GWo•111Ci1 rope, The pext thing was to reach'the apertu\•e in the cell. - About nine feet is - the bight - of the cell, and this apertnre is ' dear the ceiling.. Wrenching from its place on the opposite wall, a board' extending the -width of the.cell he jammed it in between the wall under the aperture. Here was a •platfoi in upon which 'to stand:" Fastening one end -of the rope to, thebedstead, the great : and chief obstacle. was. to.geL out of the. aperture. To show the difficult .. nature of this obstacle we will describe the aperture. It is nothing more or less_ than a ventilating hole in the side pf the cell a slit or poet -bele twenty-eight inches' long, the length being parallel with the ceiling, and sib inches wide: . It is, cut into a solo granite block sO prolonged land skilled appliances of itbe masonic ai.•t. Orli;at 1East so say the prison guardians, he got his body through - the aperture. The ' rest was easy. His rope was , strong and trusty. I-I,s nerves were - strong, and stillness and caution were all - that were required - .to breathe the air of freedom again. Lowering himself to the female prison, which at this end conue,,ts with the lower part cit the males department, he then climbed up the outer wall of the prison, an, affair of climbing by the way r1.1 Ore. etteier sand than done, and then again let himself down -outside the wall iuto`Elui street. 3n certyii g out this latter part of the programme all that was necceesary was to avoid policemen, which it seems he easily and suc- cesefull , ac:co n1ilished. Burns is J l twenty-six years o'ag e, and of average 'size. - A Crirl'Er "Flee Offer." . d �� a There. are two de •lora1"tle extreme, in-too:.,e of. which a you've,- tg n•iri Metall; y � b falls on receiving her 'first offer.'
