John Morgan’s Escape!
Colonel Don Piatt,of the Washington
Capital, has communicated to that pa
per. from Oakland,West Virginia,where
he has-been Summering, an account ot
John Morgan’s escape from the Ohio
lYnitoutiary, given l>v a Confederate of
, fleer, also adjourning at Oakland, who
| was one of the party captured with
i Morgan aud consigned with him to the
State prison. The story is interesting,
j~pot only as giving the Confederate ver
sion of the celebrated escap, not here
tofore published, but as a thrilling nar
rative of one of the most daring explcits
| of the war.
The lirst part of the story is taken up
with details with which the readers oi
the Standard, are already familiar.
.1/orgttU, it is said, managed to com
municate with sympathizing friends
outside the prison, by the use of con
victs who, as their term of service
was about expiring, and whose conduct
had inspired confidence, was sent into
| Columbus on errands. At first it was
j his design tQ organize a general revolt
among the convicts, seize seventy stand
|of arms, which he knew to be within
* the walls, overpower the guards aad
' blow up the prison. From a convict
with whom he communicated through
the ventilator of his cell, Morgan ob
tained information which induct'd him
j to abondon this scheme and adopt one
j entirely difi’erent. It was to the effect
: that this convict, with a number of oth
| ers, had been employed to open an ob
‘ strueted drain that ran the entire length
of the prison, directly under the cell, to
I the river. This drain J/orgau deter-
I miued to reach, and through it his free
i dom.
| The cell appropriated to the General
; was in the second tier above,reached by
a stairway and a gallery; so h selected
j the. one. occupied by his brother in
; which to make ihe attempt. Their first
i object was to obtain tools with which to
i work. This they accomplished by tak
i ing from the convicts’ dinner table as
they passed and not from their own
as this would have excited suspicion—
the short, strong, dull knives, ground
| square of! at the cud so as to rob them
!of danger as weapons. Every day add
ed a knife to the Confederates, until
I fourteen were secured. Their first effort
was to remove the stone pavement be
neath the cot of the cell selected. The
pieces were broken into small fragments
and deposited in tiro ashes of the larg c
stove used to wains the halls. This had
to be done slowly and cautiously, for
the appearance of any large quantity or
large fragments would at once arouse
inquiry. After the stone pavement was
removed a layer of cement was found.
Zhis, too, was broken up and divided
between the stoves and mattress, from
which the stuffing was removed and
burned as the material increased. The
bed of the cell consisted of a cot, reared
during the day against the wall, and
when down, covered the hole at which
the men were digging. They took turns
at this slow, tedious process, and at the
end of three weeks reached the sewer,
arched with brick. Through this a hole
was opened large enough to admit the
body of a man.
Had the brickwork,cement and pave
ment been honestly executed the pris
oners would not have so readily opened
the way. But, like all the Government
woiA.it was found to be rotten and eas
ily removed. To lower one of their
number into this foul reeopticlfe and ex
plore the same, came next. Owing to
its size, and the fact that the water was
flowing through it continuously, the air
was not so poisonous as they feared;
but they found at the lower end, where
! the sewer leaves the prison for the river
a heavy iron grating that defied all ef
forts to break thrcAigh. Driven from
this ond, the prisoners tried the other.
It terminated at a wall. They attacked
this wall. The first impression was that
getting through this obstacle, they
would find themselves in the open
| country. Close but cautious question
| ing of guards and convicts —such con
: victs, as I have said before, being near
; the close of their terms, were therefore
I used as messengers—with such obser
| vations as their indomitable leader could
: make, convinced that this wall
was between them and, not Rbo tv, but
j a court surrounded partly by a pH .n
| and partly by a Avail some thirty feet in
j height. There was nothing left them
i however, but to dig through.
A COUNTRY' NEWSPAPER FOR THE MASSES • DEVOTED TO CIVILIZATION AND MONEY-MAKING.
TALBOTTON, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 3, 1875.
j It seemed an endless work. Oertain
! ly no light one, for the wall was found,
j when pinreed, to be fourteen feet from
I outside to outside. This work was again
, faciliated by the dishonesty of the Gov
l eminent contractors in building the
prison. After penetrating the sh 11 of
solid masonry the interior was found to
;bo rubble held together by mortar and
and sand. One day a messenger con
vict, who lmd been trusted by (be Con
federates in carrying written messages
to their friends outside, produced from
one leg of his pants a slende.i pick.suoh
as miners use, and from the other a
short, stout handle. This was repeated
I until more picks wore furnished than
: could be used. And then followed
I this time from his : join -a shovel.—
After came hits of candles, and contin
ued until Air. J/organ ordered the man
| to desist, fearing he might be discover
ed. The fellow gave over with much
reluctance, for the receipt signed by
J/organ for such articles delivered
brought him a hundred dollar green
back, aud he was rapidly aud easily ac
j cumulating a fortune.
| The heavy wall was pierced at last
| and quite an excavation was made in
j the earth of the court yard, when the
j conspirators turned their attention to
| constructing openings into the thirteen
| other cells. As the escape was to be
• made in the night time each cell, of
! course, h“d to be tapped. After care
ful reassurement and calculations, the
! precise places were dcsigdnted, and
! working from below, the arch was brok
en and the earth removed, nil but the
| stone pavement —that was left so that
j few blows would open the way at the
moment when escape was determined on.
In the meantime other necessary pre
| partitions weie being made. A rope
was crusti acted of the sheets of their
i beds torn in strips and twisted togeth
er. .It seven every night the prisoners
I were Inc ed in their celts, and as, a:i
j hour afterwards, there was an inspee-
I tion, which consisted of a lantern being
1 thrust through the door,ho that t.lieoffi
j ecr in command could see that his pris
oners were ill bed, in was necessary to
got substitutes. I’u this end paddies wove
: eonstmeted out of their under clothe!
! stuffed with the filling of their mat tress
1 es. After this Morgan's men slept with
their heads covered, so that their inani
mate substitutes might not be discover
ed. For awhile the officers would cab
| the prisoners, but found it so difficult to
: awaken him that this was wbsndoued.
j tlie puzzled guard saying that Kentucky
| ‘rebs’ slept like ‘niggers,’ with then
| heads covered, and sound as white-oak
I wood.*
All was ready for the desperate at
tempt, aud the leader was waiting fora
stormy night, when one day he received
through their trusted messenger a bit ot
paper. On the paper was written. ‘War
den of the prison changed to-morrow. -
John Morgan was not slotv to learn the
meaning of this. A new command means
anew broom, new regulations, and in
spection, and perhaps discovery.
J/organ did not know that, this
change was the result of an anonymous
letter received by .Secretary Stanton,
written and mailed in Columbus, that
hinted darkly at a revolt in the State's
prison and the destruction of t ire Atate's
capital. Jin t ho did know that tlie
I attempt was to be made this night or
; abandoned. During the winter almost
: a perpetual twilight reigns within Ihe
| gloomy walls of the State prison at Oo
! liimbns. Sometimes this deepens into
| night, arid then the unhappy inmates
know that a storm is raging without.
| The eventful day forced on them,for the
! attempt so long iu preparation, was
! lighter than usual,and it was resolved to
fight their way out should that way bo
obstsucted be gua ! To this end their
blunted knives were sharpened to a pout,
and fourteen of these deadly weapons,
deadly in such hands,were distributed to
as many men,
The first difficulty to be overcome was
to get Gen. Morgan from tlie cell in the
upper tier to one of the cells communi
cating with the sewer. He selected his
brother, not only because of tlie person
al resemblance, but for the fact that he
! thought it just, for others that the pun
-1 isbment following the discovery should
fail on himself through the one nearest
! to him.
Night came, and the brother hurried
i into the General's cell, while the Gener
al placed himself iu the one vacated bc
j low. The change worked well, when,
at the moment tlie guard was about leav
ing, having locked in the prisoners, one
appeared at the cell door so lately occu
pied by the General, thrust a latern in
at the opening, and,just as the younger
J/organ was giving up all as lost, de
manded a rat-tail file loaned the Gen
l oral the day before. ‘What, file V*
thought the young man. He had not
heard of the article, borrowed under
pretense of making a ring for a lady
from a bone. He had, however,enough
! presence of mind to betray no confu
sion, but began, with bis back to the
door, an active search for the misera
; ble tile. As luck would have it,his hand
fell on the article where it had been left f
upon the bed. (levering his face with i
bands, as if tlie light hurt his eyes, j
1 he gave -a,, fill, to the guard, and then j
; listened with .'•-••obbing heart to the
| loots tops that died u\Vit_ the distance,
Zliec mng of the iron-grated door as
it swung to was the signal for immediate
action. The pavements above the sow
er at the designated places were brok
en tuvough,and four' ecn men dropped in
to the foul receptacle. The candles were
lighted an,, the work began.* Five feet
of earth had lo be removed before mid
night,and taking turns, they worked as
probably men never labored before.
Rapidly as the earth was loosened it, was
passed buck into the sewer,their woolen
caps being used for this purpose. At
last an opening was made, enlarged
sufficiently to admit the passage ot a
man,and John Morgan pushed his way
through and stood upon the ground of
the court He found the sky overcast
and a drizzling rain slowly falling. The
place, seemed deserted. The man on
guard had evidently sought shelter from
the inclement, weather. One by one
these resolute men emerged from the
hole. Grasping each other by the hand
and led by their General, they moved
slowly and quietly to the wall that di
vided the female prison from that which
they so lately occupied, '/hi; wall was
reached aud tlm stoutest bracing him
self against it with his hands, another
mounted on his shoulders,then a third
climbed above the two,and a fourth was
making bis way up, wln-n the second
man missed his tooting and all fell to
the ground.
Zhis mode of sealing a perpendicular
vvali is successfully practiced by Freneh
; zouaves and acrobats. But it. requires
strength and dexterity,a dexterity that
comes of long practice,and this practice
had bt on denied Morgan's men. Gen.
Morgan then shifted from the dividing
wall,after hstoiiiug a minute to find
whether the noise of tile unlucky tum
ble hail been heud to the comer fur
thest. from the prison.
In former vears nil this corner had
i been a platform and a box f >r a sentry.
But as tin* gua,d was over women, not
given to attempted escapes,and as the
i sentry was sllbjecl to a • , nt.. , v>us vol
ley of abuse from the female wards bc-
I low,the guard hid boon removed. Aid
ed bv the corner,that served as a sup
port, the human ladder succeeded in
reaching the top of the wall,and the men
clambering upon it with their improvis
ed l ope,made* it, fast. One by one all of
the fourteen came up, dropped on the
outside,and in a few minutes the entire
parly found themselves free.
Here,of course,they were met by tlscir
sympathizing friends. My informant,
on this part of the business was silent.
Who guarded the escaped prisoners to
| pi ices if refuge and gave each a change
of clothing—warm overcoats,cloth trav
eling caps and carpet bags—will pro
bably never be known.
John Morgan selected oic of his offi
cers,now an eminet. Judge in Kentucky,
a man noted for his cool self-posoession
ami cnuragiyis his companion,anil sep
arating from the other t welve, the two
walked into Lire depot at Columbus at
the moment the Lantern express train
was about to start for Cincinnati. They
bail no time to procure tickets, and
boarding the cars, Gen. Morgan pur
posely selected a seat by a Federal offi
cer. In'a few seconds tlie cars were I
dashing into the night,towards Oinein- i
nati. (Shortly after his finger through
the window next which he sat,, and
said :
‘That, sir,is our penitentiary, and just
now,you knovv.it is the residence of the
famous John Moigan. 1
‘lndeed,it‘B there, is it ?‘ responded
Morgan. “Well, Jet ns drink to the
strength of its wails.‘ and pulling from
his breast, pocket a flask of old whisky,
the officer joined in the toast.
The conductor collected his fare, and
the passengers nodded and slept, and
am- mgs the rest Gen. Morgan's I*ed. a
officer,who having taken several draught
from M irgan's flask,and doubtless be
ing fatigued by his many labors of the
dav,snored in the deepest sort of slum
ber.
Daylight and the trains were approach
ing Cincinnati together,when Morgan,
leaning over,whispered to his compan
ion that it, was about time to get off.
Putting his valise under liis coat lie
went quietly to the rear platform. In j
a few minutes after his companion fol- j
lowed. Fortunately the broakeman
was at the other end of the car. , Mor- j
gon directed his friend to throw his }
might and strength upon the brakes 1
when lie [Morgan) should pull the bell
rope that signals a scop. Zhis was done. ,
Tile shrill scream of tlie locomotive was
heard.followed by tlie rasping noise of
brakes along the train. Before it came
to a lull stop,out after it Had ceased tt J
Tun so as to be dangerous to jump oft’,
the two fugitives jumped from the plat
form and immediately hid in tlie bush
tlmt lined both sides of the tlie road.
Zliey beard the train come toa full stop;
they heard the voices of the conductor
and brakemail crying to each other
with much profanity ; then the bell rang,
the locomotive screamed and the train
moved on. They waited until the last
faint roar (lied in the distance,and then
emerged from their hiding places to fall
almost into the* arms of five Government
soldiers traveling along the track.
‘Wliat the devil are yon about, here? 1
cried onp,facing Morgan and his com
panion.
‘Rather, 1 replied Morgan quietly but,
firmly, ‘vvlmt are you doing from camp
at this hour? 1
The qnestnn was embarrassing, for
the men wore laden with an admirable
assortment of dead poultry, and con
spicuous among the lot an infant pig late
ly sacrificed.
'We're out buying provisions for our
colonel,‘ was the prompt reply,with some
i stress on the word that indicated the
| purchase.
'Doe ; your colonel send von out to
purchase poultry after night--and who
j is he V
‘les, lie does, ‘cause, yon see.we're
ligbtm' all day,and his mime's Squiliob,
(Ml. Squibob.nl the One Hundred and
! Xinlv-sixth Ohio Volunteers.* was the
j rcspotiK 'of the chicken thieves as they
; mm. il on.
! The two arrived in Cincinnati as tlie
! day began to break, At that hour the
police waken.cits steal home and at in
tervals milk carts and meat wagons can
be heard raiding over the rough streets
I'hc few they met regarded them as ear
ly travelers seeking the depot.,and,unob
structed,they found themselves on the
banks of the Ohio. The, ferry-boats
were preparing their daily rounds, lint
i the two hesitated trusting theinsehts to
! this sort, iif e 'iiveyance.for they saw a
i aquad of infantry,under command of a
| sergeant .hurrying to one of the landings.
They did not know but that their escape
! lmd been discovered,and were well aware
j that in an hour the guard would take
j their rounds through the prison and im
mediately thereafter the telegraph wires
i would fairly hum vvilh the news of John
) Morgan's escape. While they hesitated
J and thought,a small boat,rowed by a
I bov.slmt in near where they stood.
! J/organ approached the lad and asked
j him what lie would charge to row them
Jto the Kentucky side of the river. The
; boy eyed the two inquiringly as well us
Ihe could iu the dim light, of tiie morn,
and then responded that lie thought
fifty cents apiece would not lx; too much,
/’his compensation was immediately
agreed to,and then the money-getting
gamin said ho must have it in advance.
This shrewd boy suspected the two men
calling for a row boat, when the terry
boats were plying between tile shores,
and the information that lie gathered
cost subsequently some money and no
little bloodshed. The only track the
authorities had of Gen. Morgan,after lie
left the penitentiary till lie struck the
Ohio river,was from this observant lit
tle Yankee,and the proof of his shrewd
ness was in the fact that he collected
his fare in advance.
The boat was small and the two heavy
men sunk it to the gunnels.but it car
ried Ciesar and his fortunes, or rather,
I should say,carried Caesar to his fate.
Could the daring rider, who sat. with
arms folded iu the stern of tout frail craft,
have had the present darkness suddenly
lifted and the future revealed,l doubt if
he would have cared whether the boat
sunk or floated. Ho would have seen
that his brilliant career had already end
ed.and in the future vvui only the ap
plause given a popular actor as he leav es
the stage,while the ignoble death that
began with treachery and ended in a
few shot.s.and a body thrown upon a
wagoner's horse,would make that found
in the quiet waters of the W’intery Ohio
far more pleasant and dignified.
While slowly breasting the swift cur
rent the ruddy couriers of the early
dawn began to brighten up tlio oast,
while night hung dark and gloomy in
the west. Illthis dim and cloudy quar
ter,high upon the Kentucky bank of
tbe river,Morgan saw a bright light,aud
asked the boy what, that vvhh.
‘That;* answered the little boatman,
looking over his shoulders without ceas
ing his efforts, ‘why .that's widow Lud
’JovVk she keeps her house lit up nil
night, ‘cause they (fay she’s ‘haired of
ghosts. 1
‘Land me there and /ll give you an
other dollar. 1
‘Fork over, 1 was the brief response
and getting Ida money be turned bis
boat more with the current,and in a lew
minutes landed the fugitives near the
widow's house.
Getting once more upon Kentucky
soil John Morgan drew a long breath,
filling his lungs with not only to him
free air,but giving to his heart a fresh
impulse of courage for the cause he
helped make immortal, lie and his
comrade found refuge in J/rs. Ludlow's
house. What followed I. have not space .
to tell,nrir is it province. I sat down j
only to detail the heretofore unknown
history of his escape from the Ohio ;
prison. AH that followed is already
known and belongs to the history of
our country. I
