Karlltskl Risked Murder and Suicide
For an Escape.
OFFICER JONES' HEROIC WORK I
A Prisoner Twice Starts a Fire in His Ceil
With Almost Fatal Results The Danger
Increased by a Singular Combination
of Harrasslng Circumstances.
Up to a few weeks ngo Georso Karlltskl
was a prosperous, though not very reputa
ble, saloonkeeper on South Main street,
lto kept a plnco In "Chicago" Btructuro
owned hy I'. J. Ferguson and made money
fast, but wlno and women soon told on both
tho placo and himself, and ho suddenly dis
appeared between two suns, as It were,
leaving unpaid bills in tho hands of several
brewery agents, but took pains to first sell
what stock ho had on band and had a well
filled wallet when ho left.
Solomon Hank, ono of tho creditors, sworo
out a warrant for Karlitskl's arrest, charg
ing fraud. About two weeks ago I'oliecmnn
Leo located and arrested Karlltskl, who was
placed In tho lockup for a hearing. Some
time during tho night tho prisoner was re
leased without authority from Leo or Chief
Tosh, Tho relcaso is a sort of mystery.
Saturday afternoon Tosh and Leo found
Knrlitski standing in front of Costcllo's
saloon, at tho corner of Main and Oak
streets, and hustled him to tho lockup with
out delay. Tho prisoner walked into tho
cell after being searched for weapons and as
tho door was closed said, ou'ro no good;
I'll bo out by to-morrow." Tho police looked
upon this as an idle boast, but to prevent an
other release put a strunger lock on tho cell
door in addition to the regular one.
At about half past two o'clock yesterday
morning Policeman Leo heard cries of firo.
Tho sounds came from tho lockup and ho
hurried to tho placo with others who had
been attracted by tho cries. It was found
that tho ilro was in Karlitskl's cell and it
was ho who gave the alarm. Tho placo was
filled with smoke, but the arrival was a
tlincly one. Karlit.sk! had ignited pieces of
wood in his cell, but presumably became
frightened at tho rapid progress tho llro
made. Ho had thrown tho burning wood
into tho closet in ono corner of the cell and
broken the lead water pipe, so that tho
stream played upon tho fire. This was tho
condition of a Hairs when Leo got tho cell
door open. It was also found that Karlltskl
had broken and removed the board that
formed the seat of tho closet, lly this means
ho reached tho adjoining cell and had tho
scat there removed, but for somo unknown.
reason returned to his own cell. Tho door of
tho adjoining cell was open and to force his
way lrom tho comdur to liberty would have
required less work than tho tearing up of
tho scats.
Tho two undamaged cells in tho placo wcro
filled with prisoners, but tho alarm brought
out Constables who took tbeirmeu out. Tills
left only Karlltskl and a Polo looked up for
assault and battery by Constable Ulblou, who
did not appear. Leo was at a loss what to
do, but concluded to handcull' Karlltskl and
lock all the cell doors, which would mako a
breaking from ono cell to another fruitless
llcforo leaving Leo made a careful search for
matches, but could flud none.
Hut at about llvo o'clock yesterday morn
iug, when Special Ollicer Thomas U. Jones
and Policeman kcrwiu were walking along
Oak street they heard cries of "Kirol
and located them at tho lockup. This time
a tiro was raging in Karlltskis cell und it is
surprising that ho was not burned to a crisp
aud the other prisoner in cell No. 3 was not
suffocated. Neither Kcrwiu nor Jones had
keys for tho cells. Tho former hurried to
Chief Tosh's house while Jones tried to get
tho prisoners out. With tho aid of a small
hammer ho pouuded away at tho brass pad.

Policeman Lee grabbed Karlltskl and rail
roaded him to Justice Williams' otlico for
safekeeping. Up to this timo no intelligible
bad been given. The watchman

Comnanv. which is at tho rear of tho lockup

that he forgot to let tho condensed steam
out of tho pipe and tho blasts did not have the
required cfi'cct. Chief Tosh and ox-Flro
Marshal Williams tried to sound tho lire bell,
but Electrician ltcovos had blocked it Satur

persistent work ut tho brewery whistlo
oveutually brought a number of citizens, but
low firemen, ouch men as J. P. Williams,
II. M. Itowso, Dr. J, S. Callen and other
business men residing iu the vicinity turned
a helping hand to ox-Marshal Williams and
tho polieo add a section of hoso was finally
put in play. The firo wasa stubborn ono aud
got a hold of tho Columbia Hoso Company's
recreation room, which is directly abovo tho
lockup before It was subdued. About three-
quarters of an hour after tho firo was dis
covered three or four moil ariived with a
ladder from the liescuo headquarters. Tho
truck could not bo taken out becauso ono of
the company's horses is disabled. Fortunately
tho llro was confined to the lockup and tho
room above, nobody was hurt aud theru was
no great loss of property.
Tho lockup is in pretty bad shapo and it
will take gomo timo to repair it, although
thoro nro two colls fit for use, Tho flro
burned clean through to tho Columbia room
und that placo Is also In bad shapo. All tho
Uooriug aud sovorai of tho window casings
aro badly charred. An almost new carpet
aud several chairs wero ruined, Beveral
others wcro badly damaged and u largo dosk
suffered considerably. Tho greatest loss tho
company feels is tho burnlug of many photo'
graphs and othor relics which it held abovo
prlco. Aside from thoso tho loss iu the room
is about $150. Tho company lias no insur
ance, while tho borough building Is.
Karlltskl was arraigned before Justice
Williams aftor tho nro was extinguished aud
committed to tho county jail without bail
on charges of arson und malicious mischief.
Tho ponnlty for the former offense runs as
high at) 12 years imprisonment, or $2.00(1 fine.
Special Ollicer Jones took Karlltskl to tho
PotUville jail yesterday. What tho man's
idea wis in f-ettlng flru to the place is known
only to himself. Ho wns not drunk, lto
refused to say moro than that "Somebody
scttln' fire."
Tho police and others are unanimous in
praising Special Ollicer Jones. They sny
that but for his swift heroic work tho two
prisoners would have been burned to death.
Ills prosenco of mind und pluck In grap
pling and successfully struggling with tho
incendiary at a critical moment Is also
highly commended. Jones was ill several
hours after his experience. Tho oxoition
and effects of tho smoko told upon him to
such an extent that ho was on his knees
while hammering at tho last cell lock, but
Karlitskl's frantic ellbrts to escape aroused
him to an extent that mado it possible for
Jones to grapple with the prisoner. Tho case
is one of tho most remarkable in tho crim
inal annals of this borough. It is generally
believed that Karlltskl calculated upon a
timely arrival of tho firemen, a hurried
opening of tho cell doors and an oscapo in
tho confusion. It was a desperate game.
Tho prisoner that escaped was re-captured
yesterday alternoon by Constable Glblon and
taken to tho Pottsvillo jail.
