I Mien wis rit CP HtaTEMENT, A Libel on Sheriff Mack and the Iff dlana Jail. The Indiana 7W says ; After the retarn of Joe Nicely to the Somerset jail, he told tbe reporters of tbe Pittsburgh papers that it was ver eai-y to get oat of any of the country jidt. He said be could have got oat of tbe Indiana Jail whenever he wanted, and that it was not aa gotod a jail as the one at Sam ersel, and if bsa cell in the Indiana, jail was examined they woaij find nearly ail the rivets cut. The' SUerff. Couimisioiers, and s few friends made a thorough examination of the oril Joe was cocfiord in. Not a bar Dor riret is cut. Scratches on the paint on tbe steel siding show where Joe had tried tbe quality of tbe rivets wio a tabic knife or otber duil edeJ instm men t. IfJoebadgot in "a tbe corridor be would have bad an other sue! door to go through before . 'lag oauide of the cells. He then wot. 1 rt had several Lours' work to get o-.; A tbe bcUJing. Tnere are no convenient trap doors wuh soft padlocks, and n convenient stairs leading to the attic. If the Nicelys could have got ont they would have done so, for it sa while they were at Indiana tbe Pardon Boird first refused their pardon, and they then felt their last chance was gone. Knowing their character and their put lifc, does anybody think they stayed in the Indiana jail because they wanted to? Not much. They growled all the time because Sheriff Mck oiily let tbem out an hour or two each' day for exercise, and then under the supervision of a deputy. The (acts are that Joe Nicely was confiied continuously in his ceil for several weeks by Sheriff Mack because he disobeyed the prison rules. Joe was sulky and defiant and a very disagree able fellow throughout. He saw a chance to condemn the Indiana jail, and, if possible, cast a reproach on abenff Mack. The truth is. Sheriff Mack gave the Nicelys very Utile chance to escape, but had bis watchfulness beeu less vigilant, they could not have got out, for the Indiana county jiil is as secure as a jail can be made.
