He lately escaped irom jail in Chi- go, where he bad been committed in default of $5,000 ball for a diamond rebbery. Superintendent Wai Teceived despatches annewncing bis escape from the jail at that piace and placed Detective Dorsey on the case. The prisoner was broughs to sourt and remanded to the custody of the Suporin- fondent to await instractions from Coicago, aT THE BANK.
