ATHEY,Thursday morning last, between twelve and one o’clock, Mrs. Ellen Athey, incarcerated in the county jail, charged with the murder of Mary Seneff, made her escape from that institution. She has been confined in a room on the ground floor, in which there is an iron cell. Usuall, the prisoner has been locked up in this cell for safe keeping during the night, but on account of the extreme cold weather, and because of the sickness of the prisoners little girl, the Sheriff allowed her the freedom of the room that she might keep the tire up and room warm. There are two doors in the apartment, one leading into the jail hall and the other to a veranda on the north side of the building.

But woman's in genuifcy is sometimes capable of solving deep mysteries, and Mrs. Athey was not long in discovering that the casing to the door on which the lock, bar is fastened was not plated, and with the aid of a hot poker she soon removed the bar, and in a few moments more was breathing the air of freedom. She left her babe behind and proceeded up Main street to the corner near Grirn's hotel. Mr. James Kennady, Deputy Treasurer, who lives near this corner, was up in the night attending the wants of a sick child, and happening to look out of the window he saw Mrs. Athey as she walked up the middle of the street, but of course at that time did not recognize her. He watched her movements, and says that she sat down on a door step on the opposite side of the street and remained there for ten or fifteen minutes, and then moved on. From here it seems she went to the house of “Bet” Cordery, a place of ill-repute, and was taken in, with a promise that she would be concealed. On the following morn'-ing one of the women of the ‘ castle’’ was dispatched for a team with which to convey Mrs. Athey to other parts, but the livery man refused to be implicated %in the transaction, and immediately proceeded to the jail to notify Sheriff Lyons, who, up to that time, had not discovered her escape. The Sheriff was not long in finding his way to the Cordery mansion, where he found Mrs. Athey tucked in between two bed ticks, the bed nicely made and smoothed over her. She made no resistance, but in a quiet manner accompanied the Sheriff to her old quarters. During the night her little babe had kicked the coverlets from off itself, and in the morning it was found to have suffered severely from the cold. These are about the facts in the case, though many wild rumors and conjectures are afloat concerning the escape.From the Democrat following fact eoncemir robbery at New Philadi On Monday of last we Roll, formerly of Nev was buried in our c Masonic honors, and number of sympathizir friends, none dreaminj would not be allowed until the final judgmen On Friday mornii Knisely, the Sexton, the grave of Mr. Roll h He immediately friends, and at once cor amination of the grave, they found that the j opened, the coffin brok taken out.
