A KEBPER SAND-BAGGED DARING ESCAPE OE CONVICTS FROM THE NEW JERSEY STATE PRISON. TWO FIREBUGS SERVING LONG TERMS GET AWAY WITH 8800 BELONGING TO CAPTAIN PARKER, TRENTON, May 28.—~Henry Jackson and Thomas Thomas, two thirty-year colored convicts at the State Prison, escaped to-night. They sand bagged, with a stocking full of sand, Charles Parker, the night door-keeper, in the office eof the prison clerk, and left him senseless on the floor. After tying him securely and gagging him with an apron, and taking from bis pocket the keys, two revolvers and $300 in money, they left, It was one of the most daring deeds ever perpetrated in the New Jersey prison, They were both sentenced in February, 1884, for 30 years. They were in the gang of firebugs which so long infested Hed Bank,but which was at lust broken up by the Incarceration of a number of them. The two men who escaped were both Intelligent young negroes, and they were trusted servants in the private apartments of head keeper Patterson. These apart. ments are located at the front entrance of the prisom on the left, while on the right are the office of the clerk and the room for the re- ception of visitors, A wide corridor leads to the centre, and the entrance to this is through heavy iron doors. Nene but trusted prisoners are allowed outside of these doors. At balf-past 7 o'clock In the evening a portion of the prisoners pass through the centre up stalrs to the school room. At that time the doors leading from the centre to the corridor are always locked, It was during this period that the convicts escaped. When the doors were locked to-night one of the oldest and most eflicieut deputies in the prison, Captain Charles J. Parker, was on guard on the outside of the doors in the main corridor. The two convicts who escaped were engaged, or were supposed to Ue, at their dutles about the head keeper’s department. They were usually allowed to stay out until the prison was lighted up inside; then they were taken to their cells, When Captain Parker had locked Lhe doors, be turned and walked down to- ward's the clerk’s office, which isin a little extension of the building, to the right of the malin cntrance, and entirely isolated from it, As he was entering the office, and while his back was towards the keeper's apartments, the two ne. groes pounced upon him. One of them was armed with a stocking filed with sand, and with this struck the keeper on the back of the head several times, knocking him upon the floor in a senseless condition, They then tied his feet and hands with cord which they had in thelr possession, and knot. ted a big apron around his neck and mouth so tightly that he could not make an outery. They then took time to search the deputy’s pockets and found a roll of bills amounting to $63 or $70, and notes which it is believed will aggregate $300 in all. Captain Parker was so dazed last night that he could scarcely tell the exact amount. They also took his revolver and keys to the entrance, and with the other plunder escaped, The keepers in the centre wondered why the doors were not unlocked by Captain Parker, and, when an Inquiry lying on the floor where he bad been knocked. He was still unable to speak coherently. The deputy was unbound and carried into the head keeper's apartments. Dr, Rice was summoned and treated him. He found that he was severely bruised about tte head and shoulders, but did not pronounce the wounds serious, The captain was in a dazed condition up to =a late hour, Investigation showed that the convicts had not gone out mn the prison garb alone, They had each taken a pair of trousers and an overcoat, the garmenta belong part of the blue uniforms worn by the cfllzers, One of the overcoats is a light, and the other a heavy garment, Word was at once telegraphed to New York, Philadelphia and all the cities in New Jersey of the escape. it 13 not believed that the convicts knew about the money In the posses- sion of the keeper, Jackson is a light colored man, about 20 years of age, five feet six inches in height, with a number of scars on his head, Tbomas Is also light, about 25 years old, with scars on the back of his left hand and on his neck and face, A NEWS OF THE WEEK. ~James Hinds, a policeman in Madison, Indiana, shot and fatally wounded Carlos Aulte on the 206th, Aulte had been paying attention to Hinds’s daughter forsome time, against the wishes of her father, Ie 1s said to be an estimable young man, and the shooting, it is reported, has provoked intense indignation against Hinds. ~John Williamson, 60 years of age, a laborer oa the farm of Jeff, Moore, was found i# the public pak in Se- dalia, Missouri, on the morning of the 26th, almost dead from the effects of a dose of strychnine, taken with suicidal intent.
