The escape was discovered about two ‘o’clock Sunday morning, when Sheriff Magill returned home and made a round of the jail to see if everything was all right, and finding the outside door of her cell open. By means of a wrench she had unscrewed all but one of the bolts holding the lock on the door, letting the lock drop down and the door swing open. A search was at once made for the Kudisill girl, and she was captured on Walker street, between Hamilton and Vine, near her home. She told how the Vancleve woman got out, and said that sho was met outside by two men, afterwards ascertained to be David and Schuyler Stewart, two of her witnesses in her trial for blackmail, and all four proceeded to the new school house, where they were met by some man in a buggy, who took the Vancleave woman in with him and started towards Edinburg. Constable Laws later in the day swore out warrantsfor the two Stewarts, charging them with aiding Vancleave’s escape, and took them in custody at Mrs. Anderson’s, on East Washington street, corner of Vine, about noon. In the meantime a search was instituted to find some man who had been out with a buggy, and about noon it was discovered that Lincoln J. Van Buskirk had taken his rig out of Deprez Goodrich’s stable between eleven and twelve o’clock Sat-%urday night, and had just returned. Lincoln was found near the Keck House a few minutes later and takeninto custody, and in his buggy was found a wrench, which the Sheriff identified as belonging to him, and which had been used to take the lock off the door of the cell, having been furnished to the Vancleve woman by Sam Jenkins, of St. Paul, whose time in jail, for stealing a watch, had expired Saturday, but who had been made a “trusty” around the building, and free to come and go as he liked.VanBuskirk was interviewed at the jail by the Democrat man yesterday afternoon, and told a very thin story. He says that about eleven o’clock Saturday night, while standing near the Keck House, he was approached by Schuyler Stewart, one of the Stewart’s mentioned, who offered him $5 to take a girl to Edinburg that night. He consented, got his rig, and, piloted by Stewart, drove to the Bchool house, where he found two women and another man. One of the women, the one who went with him, was heavily veiled, and he didn’t know her (?) and says he didn’t discover her identity until he got within sight of Edinburg, whenshe told him who she was, and he left#her on the depot platform in Edinburg about 4 o’clock a. m., to wait for the train going to Louisville, due an hour later. After telling him who she was, she told him the manner of her escape, and that Sam Jenkins had furnished her the wrench, he, Jenkins, having loosened up the bolts, and ascertained the feasibility of the plan of escape last Thursday, while she was in court, afterwards secreting the wrench in her room, and she brought it with her when she escaped and Link thinks(?)dropped it in the buggy when he wasn’t looking.A warrant was sworn out for Jen-kin’s arrest, charging him with aiding the Vancleve woman to escape,and he was brought here from his home in St. Paul, about nine o’clock last night, by Deputy Sheriff Burk. Sheriff Magill left last night for Louisville, Ky., to see if he could find the Vancleve woman, to which point a telegram had been sent about two o’clock yesterday afternoon, directed to the Chief of Police, giving a full description of the fugitive andasking her arrest.The Stewarts, Van Buskirk and Jenkins will not have their preliminary trial until the return of Sheriff Magill. By assisting Mollie Vancleave to escape from custody they have made themselves liable to aaterm in the penitentiary.GcDceph’iErJose1EvJose]Togran*Al] at a iDrFloriCoFloriCllt;at FIMiFloriPligramCl(FloriCo: at FIGo at FIGllt; at FIPlidrenYagainEuyardEnwidtlJeiqualiSotper pMi]plus!Si!centsMi]the nEvlt;FloraJea at 45ThereJosepHaFlorainvite in th shoe eA Jacob tillerj had tlt;DieMario♦son oi Funei eteiy, count;AlscMcDotown,14th asison,The are dt Theypeoplevide ft ed an now t stealii CommWetor of the walong edisbar no wrlt; will si ods oJ unseai ans st; the I header This iibusineJohi name her etc day i charsrtconsis from \ Amantthere.#room liams Arrivij broke good I was th escape Sunda shortly cell. 1 prelim bond f“What does the figures three, two, one mean that are emblazoned everywhere?” was asked by one gentleman of another yesterday afternoon. “It means one out—Mollie Vancleave— and three in—the Stewarts and Van Buskirk,” was the reply.D. £Knox, Kerr, ] Aarons MachaT.
