John Mor- gah and .his men escaped from the Ohio penitentiar; hovamber 27, 1863, was uncovered by workmen and thoroughly explored no light was thrown upon the mystery of how the little band of men finally eseaped from the prison. Beneath the cells occupied by the confederates and . opening into the walls were the scars ‘of holes which had “been drilled to the tunnel, but as the passageway’ liés wholly within the walls and the buildings it is not known t how_they finally found their way to! m.” Along the sides of the tun- | freed nel tgere had been digging in_ several places, but it does not seem that any of them could have:been uded as a connecting tunnel.
