ESCAPED FROM JAIL.
Two Prisoners who wero Cleaning
the Corridor went out the Door
when the Warden was not
Looking.
ONE GIVES HIMSELF IP.
Bloomsburg was the scene of a
"jail delivery" Saturday in which
one of the prisoners that escaped
was Joseph Kelly of Danville. Kel
ly then completed his remarkable
escapade by surrendering himself
to Sheriff lint at the Bloomsburg
jail yesterday afternoon, after being
at large a little more than twenty
four hours.
Kelly, it will be recalled, along
with John James, was arrested on
October ist charged with the lar
ceny of a cellar furnace from the
Fowler property on First street.
Kelly, who has not yet had his
trial, along with another prisoner,
who was serving time for ' nonpay
ment of costs, on Saturday morn
ing were put to work cleaning out
the corridor in the Bloomsburg jail.
For convenience the warden left
one of the gates or doors open; the
other gate, it appears, was also
open although the person in charge
thought it was closed. The situa
tion was well understood by the
two prisoners, who bided their time
and when the guards were all ab
sent they quietly walked out.
They were sooii missed, but the
escaped prisoners made good use of
the interval and succeeded m get
ting away.
Sunday afternoon Kelly gav
himself up to Sheriff F.nt at the
jail. lie claims to have been
Danville since his escape. Sunda
he landed in Bloomsburg on board
the x o'clock Danville & Blooms
burg trolley, alighting at Railroad
street, and making his way to the
jail by unfrequented streets. He
said he didn't want any officer to
eet the trlorv for his arrest that
he was practically certain of bein
recaptured and thought it would be
far better with him if he snrren
dered.
The other man is still at large
His foolishness in making a break
for liberty is understood when it Is
known that he was being tieid tor
the pavment of a Cue and would
have been released in a few day:
tinder the insolvency act.
