The Capture of Eli! P. Sheets.
In our issue of last week we, briefly
informed our readers that Eli F.
Shoots, convicted of the murder of
John Ansley, had'escaped from the
Jair of this county, and was re-cap
tured by the -Sheriff. Wo are now
able more, fully to inform them of the
facts. -\ i ~ j ■
For some time after his trial. Sheets
had been closely- confined to hia cell,
but upon complaint to the Sheriff that
his health was rapidity declining by
reason of confinement,; through the
humanity and kindness of heart of
the Sheriff, he was pertnitted during
the day time to sit and jwalk ’about in
the corridor Or£»S of the prison, and
again locked up in the prison in the
evening before dark; blit on Wednes
day hv.enlng, the 22d of October,-the
locking up in his coll was postponed
until rather a later hour than usual.
The person who was immediately
-concerned in aiding r hie escape took
advantage of this circumstance tocar
j ry out the'plans: which had been pre-
S viodsly concocted to set him at liberty.
! A person named Datiiel Durabaring
i ton had been employed by the Sheriff
las. turn-key and servant, in whom he
| bail gieat confidence, as had every
body else |who knew trim. This man,
through certain influences which had
i been been brought to bear upon him,
; and under a promise of rehmueration,
I agreed t|< aid in bis escape. Prepara
j.tions.batl been made by cutting the
i bolt of one of the locks of the door of
} bis. cell, jbut owing to bis being out of
the,
iimnrti^J
he was committed, and becoming
greatly alarmc4-at bis situation bo
informed thatif ho would
take him out he Would show where
ShectSjWas and place where,
he. then was. Altjhougli his statements
about the matter were then consider
ed wholly untrue,, ~tho Sherift con
sented to go with hini tc whore ho said
Sheets; was secreted. ~>Tho Sheriff,
with a party of persons whom he had ;
-requested to accompany him to the
place, after some parley entered the
-dwelling house of Mrs. Barker, widow
of the late Dr. E. jB. Barker, residing
iiji tins place, and after considerable
search found the {convicted murderer
under a bed in the second story of the
house; when ho was Immediately tab*
en into -custody' and escorted to his
old. quarters in the jail fi there to
await, uutiljtho 'time arrives when he
shall receive sucli; punishment as the
laws of Gcjd and man have prescribed
for him, who is guilty of wilfully, and;
with-a malicious heart, of shedding
the blood of his fellow man.
Our citizens were greatly excited
when the escape of the murderer was
announced, and roanj' were disposed
to censure; tlinF Sheriff, and .to Charge
[him with! neglect of his duty; but
when it Was ascertained that hd bad
been liberated by the turn-key, who
by his general good .conduct in the
the same capacity for five years, had
acquired tho entire confidence'of thfe
pres mt and former Sheriff, W. W.
Irwin. Esq.,, the, most intense, excite
ment wad created. But the most ex-,
traord inary part of the whole-affair
was that he should be found in the
bouifo of Mrs. Barker, who, with her
daughter,' Mrs. Craft, were hitherto
respectable, holding high
posh .ion, socially. Duinbarlngton has,
since the capture of Sheets, -revealed
all : he circumstances of the escape
and the persons who were concerned
in aiding in it, both before and after,
and wo have no doubt that tho per
sons gUility of assisting in turning
loose Upon society a wretch whom, wo
haV{< no doubt, was justly convicted
of qie of the most atrocious mqrdera
evet committed, will meet that pun
ishti ent which , 5s so richly- deserved
for i onduotr go criminal.
' -Tit ' *iV' I
- W,o shall? .be;, glad, indeed, if Mrs.
Barker arid her daughter, Mrs. Craft,
can (produce such- testimony os will
show that they jwere not gnilty; but,
as the matter Is to undergo judicial
| investigation, we forbear to present
tte facte upon which their wrest Was
made, or to cofmmentupon a case ao
extraordinary and apparently Mys
terious. The Star has attempted to
vindicate the character and conduct
of the ladies; but «we ? must condemn,
as all good citizens will, such attempt
to- create sympathy or prejudice in
their lavor. At the proper; time and
place, thejy will have fall op
ponnnity .to exculpate themselves if
they can. If they cannot, and the
facts are against them, let them be
punished as others are and should be.
It must be manifest to every per
son, that from the beginning the band
of Providence js in this matter.—
Sheets has-had many opportunities of
escape before his arrest, and remained
in the, boose of Mrs. Barker for six
days land nigh to,'and yet be not
permitted to get beyond the eight of
the prison walls/ The ways of Prov
idence are mysterious in bringing to
justice those who are guilty of violat
ing His laws,. .
In vindication. of the Sheaiff we
would say a| word. 'Having entire
confidence; in|i)ambarington, who had
always proved faithful and honest, he
entrusted the general care of-the pris
oner to him, and having done so. no
negligence on his part could have pre
vented the escaped of Sheets. If ho
had"locked him up in his cell, -Uum
barington would have taken him out
of it and liberated him as ho did. —
That there were persons, outside aid-
ing Dumbarington can be proved; and
if bo, the Sheriff, not knowing of or
suspecting any intention of the per
sons concerned, could not have been
prepared to proyspt them from carry
ing out their hellish conspfracy. The
Sheriff is a perfectly, honest man, as
all must admit; kind and humane in
his feelings, and would suspect no one
of so outrageous an attempt to defeM)
public justice- . W

has been very busily engaged, during
the last wehk, holding Appeals .and
revising valuations under the Excise
Law. The’Act is now in full opera
tion, and we learn that a large reve
nue will be raised from Beaver county.
As there have been several decisions
by the Coramiesroner, upon points sub
mitted by Mr. Davenport, which ate
of importance and which have., not
been published, we hereby add a few,
which have been handed us for that
*il ' ■
purpose by the Assessors:
1. Drovers’ stands, where cattle
drovers are in the habit of stopping
Over night with their droves, and who
2. But if they furnish liquor they
must take out license for that.;
3. 'Keepers of Eating Houses must
Hake out license as retail dealers in li
quors, without reference to their
amount of annual sales. J,
4. Cattle brokers who reside in dif
ferent counties are required ;to take
out but one'license, if they are a le
gally constituted form, and havo not
more than one office or principal place
place of business. '
5; If a farmer buys and'sianghtcrs,
and jsells cattle from his -wagon, ho
must be considered a peddler.
j6.|lf a butchoi has a stall and sells
meat therefrom he must be licensed
as .dealer. If he goes about.: selling
frotju his wagon ho .' must be consider
ed as peddler. If, however; he only
serves regular cusfwners, at ’ stated perir
oda,;from’hiB wagpn, he is considered
as what lias been previously
sold or contracted for, and pot V
peadler. - ■ 1
