Not- withstanding tho numerowa oxeapes, noither tho Grand Jury or tho County Board havo, until ro- tently, taken any means to remedy tie mattor, and make the promises moro secure, until fally anothor has ovcurred, which cortainly demon- strates beyond a duubt the total unfitness of the Insiitution for tho purposenof n Jail. Yestorday mornirg betwoon the hours of 1 and 3 o'clock, the notorious Charles Richards, alias * Bucky" Brown, succeeded in effecting bis excape. Richards is the follow who burglariaod the resis dence of Mr. Dan O'Hara soyoral weeks ago. Ho was brought into the Criminal Court Tues- day afternoon, to be tried on three indictnients, one tor having burglarious implomeuts in his possession, one for cominitting burglary, and another for agsaulting Policeman Cullorton, with intent to kill that ollicer, Mo pleaded guilty to the indictment for having burgiac's toole, and war to have been tried yesterday on tho other indictments, Tho circnmptances de- yoloped in tho Court Tuoadsy afternoon mdi- cated that Richards was a very dangerous, orate man, avd the crimes for which ho wis to fo tried wero of neerious nature, Richards, it seome, way all alony plotting and planning to escape from the clutches of tho law by extra Ju- dicial moans, focling sure tint ho would stand a poor chance if triod before a jury. ‘ho mauner of his escape was similer to thosu of Lis predo- cosnore, ‘Tho omployes in tho Jail stnte that Itichardson ‘was reguliutly visited by weveral women, and it is probable that they conveyed to him the means of escape, which consisted simply of a drill and a Piece of clothes-ling, € ‘Tho aoffair was carried out with great skill, Richards and his partners frescoal tho veiling with bite of paner, cut in fancy sliapes, like tho 4 fly-catchers "in soiosrooms; then thoy covered tho wall with papora so that, howover large 9 holo might have poon made, It would not linve been discovered. ‘They alxo put a strip of paper upand down in front of the water-pipo which runs up through the southwest corner of tha cell, behind which they stowod carefully away tho bricks which thoy took out, ‘The first thing, after these preliminary prenara- tions, was to mete s hulo in the b-inch lime- stone slab which forms the rear cud of tho coll, abutting on tho ventilator running up betwoou tho two tiers which face iu opposite dirastions, At fiat the register, near the bottom of the call, where tho impure air escapes into ihe ventilator, was taken out, It is about 4 by 6 inchos in alzo, but the work here was abandoned, the registor put back, and drilling commenced above it vear the top of tho cell, say 7 foot from tho dor; high enough in fact to require that the operator have something tostand on, Probably one o, the bedi was used, ‘Threa holes were diilled, weakenipg the stone, whith seems to be very brittle, aud the prisoners man- sod to break it off. ‘Ilo matter of ru- moving the bricks and hidirg them beside the wator-pipe was easy work, together with tho Btowing away of the mortar aud chips in sack, which wore bid under their buok. Whon tho hole was completed the stone way replaced aud fastened in with soap, ta bo removed when necousasy, This hole, at tho largest, iu but 9 by 16 inches. Richards, who a thiu tellow, mavaged to crawl through it and ‘shin up the voutilutor, by taking off his coat, Miller was too thick, and was compellud toromain, ‘I'he lower edyo of the uiltica, which was rough, was covered with a piece of the bed clothing to auve the hide of thocrackemun, Once on the r0cf, he climbed down the iron ladder to the lawer partof tho juil, and thenes tothe ground by is cord.
