WON DERFULAV ALTER. A Criminal Whose Exploits Have Eclipsed Jacfchoptid. A letter from Chicago to tAe Cincinnati Enquirer says: The otter night a well known representative of IthoPiukerton Na tional Detective Agency miked leisurely into the rotunda of the Paln?r House, and, after purchasing a select Coeha, tank into one of the commodious uairs that are placed so plentifully abou, with the set purpose of giving himselihp to a few mo ments’ rumination over to fumes of his fragrant cigar. He ha< just finished reading an account, ii the evening papers, of McGarigle’s enge to Sheriff Matsoa and the Windy C’it, and was con templating the whereaboui of that festive boodler. While thus engrossed i this intricate problem, and perfectly olivious to things mundane, his reverie was suddenly dissi pated by tlie appearance if a bumptious Enquirer correspondent, vho immediately lassoed him with liis quey rope, and un relentingly clung to him uitil he was fain to pay a ransom for hii release, in the way of an excellent accouit of ote of the most MIRACULOUS P lUSON ESCAPES on record. “Some escapes,” sai* he, “have Isxmi wonderful indeed, but in most cases they have been exjredited by thoajish use of money,nndmuuyof the most mstai ious jail breaks have been exploited thpugli bribery and the connivance of the gauds. Take, for instance, Red Leary’s tcapades, and those of the Coniacker, Pee McCartney. Their escapes were startling rtd apparently hazardous, but in nearly eery successful attempt the potency of goli effected their purpose, and especially wa this the case with the latter. Imagine aman locked up in a secure jail, declaring to lie Prosecuting Attorney, who was visiting Imat the time, that ho would call on him firing the night at his residence! Fancy tb attorney’s sur prise and amazement who his door was suddenly opened, and the man stood con fessed, true to his declartion. This was one of Pete’s exploits, but it subsequently leaked out that he had billed one of the guards, and ins egress washus mode a mat ter of the sheerest simpliity, although the incredulous outside worl stood gaping at eacli other in blank bewilderment regard ing the prank in the flat of an impossi bility.” Hero the detective bepn to flag in his re cital, but the Enquirerman was not to be denied, so giving liis la*o an extra pull, he ventured, in his blandes manner, to elicit liis opinion of the most remarkable escape he had ever heard of. “Well,” resumed the complacent officer, “I have read of the rthor apocryphal de vices of Jack Sheparr to gain his liberty, but the escapes I am Lout to tell you not only transcend his foitemerity and hazard ous undertaking, bui are devoid of that tinge of fiction tha' are associated with Jack Shepard’s a ventures; moreover, what gives a mon marvelous savor to the forthcoming circumstances, is the fact that both jail Peaks were made from the SAME PRISON ATD BY THE SAME MAN. In Shepard’s (lavskey was all that was re quired to make a luceessful break, while in these days there las only been one case suc cessfully executed in the last ten years by that means. Tie modern switch bar, as used for some time in the various peniten tiaries of this destroysthe utility of all keys, and thdy are seldom resorted to. But to my story: “On Nov. So, 1881, William Walter, alias William Schnidt, was sentenced from Ed wardsville, Madison county, 111., for five years, having been convicted on the charge of burglary. Quito a number of local thieves were sottlod about the same time for terms not exceeding two years, but as Wal ter was not a local thief (being previously unknown to the authorities), and as his sen tence was much in excess of that given to his fellow convicts, ho regarded it in the light of a persecution, especially as all the rest had been tried oa the same charge— burglary. “Feeling that his sentence was unreason ably severe he made a statement to the Judge to that effect, and deliberately told liis honor that he would never stay in con finement for that leigth of time. Of course his assertion was scouted as the vaporings of an embittered miud, and little thought was given to it. “On the day of bis convict ion and sentence hi was at once taken to the Southern Illinois Penitentiary at blester. As ho gave his trade as that of a mechanic, he was placed in tho construction department and put to work on the sower, which was just aliout finishing at that time. It was while at work here that he gleaned a thorough knowledge of the workings of the sewer and of the various ducts that led to the main one. The sewer divides the prison build ings proper from thoquarry, and runs from the eastern extremity of the grounds into the Mississippi river, a distance of 1,280 feet. Waiter had contemplated making a bid for liberty for some time, and as his brain was actively engaged in fathoming some practical outlet, the facilities offered by tho sewer struck him as the bestmeuns he could then devise. “On May 19, 1882, six months after his in carceration, the declaration he hud madelie forc the J mlge ot tho Madison county court was fully realized. “There was no opportunity for him to make THE ATTEMPT AT NIGHT, as the convicts were all securely locked up at dark in tho cell-house, so lie determined to make the effort while at work in the morning. On tho foregoing morning he was assigned to a placo in the machine shops for tho puritose of fitting several pieces of iron into some stone-work. It was while at work hore that he constructed a rough-made saw for the purpise of severing any bars that stood between him and liberty. As ho had the run of the yard, ho was not missed until about 11 o’clock a. in., when a search was instituted for him in the boiler house, where he was supposed to lie working. “It seems that sometime during the early Part of tho morning ho crept into a duct lending to the main sewer back of the Warden’s house, and crawled a distance of 200 yards before liis progress was impeded by an obstruction in tho form of several iron bars, placed across tho sower to pre clude the escape of-any prisoners who had the rashness to seek freedom by that means. To gam this point he had to draw himself on his hands and knees through excrement and offal of the foulest nature, and tho noi some odor that was exhaled from this litth wits almost stifling. However, that did not retard his course, and he soon fell to work on the iron Carriers with liis improvised saw. Tim bars were one and a half inches thick, but their presumed impregnability w'us soon surmounted, and after he had sawed liis way through ho proceeded on a distance of 1.390 feet until he floated safely into tlie Mississippi river. Ones* breathing the frnsh air of tho outside world, and feel ing the exuberance of his freedom, he struck out with a vim, and swain to a place named Koekwood, eight, miles Inflow Chester. In ids hurry tiroscapo ho had left bis coat at tho entrance of the duct he first entered, and when this was found by the guards it left no possible doubt tliat ho had crawled through tho sower into tho Missis •ippi river. “I went down into the sower, and found to my utter astonishment that, he had severed the heav ji li"u bars, hut how he was able t> uve the tcqgtti of time be must have been j there inhaling those nauseous gases was something I could not comprehend. Scour ing paf ies were then sent out to pick him up at sone point along the river, but this Proved Unsuccessful. Postal cards, giving his doscijition, etc, were then mailed to the various sheriffs in the adjacent counties, and theeoat last bore fruitful results. “On Miy :io, just eleven days after his es capo, Walter was RUN lows AT CHARLESTON, MO., by Sheriff voeliran. That officer was riding along cornpacently with a shotgun at his side when he suddenly ran upon what he suppostd was a wild man hid den in a dunp of hushes. He drew a bead on the stranjer and told him to come out, and as the Utter did so he displayed the number “so <u Ins breast, which betrayed to the offieei that he had run up with an escaped convet. He brought his man back into town, folowed by a mob of curious peo ple, who deriled the prisoner asa wild man, nis hair being matted together and frowzy, his face begnned with dirt, his hare feet bleeding and lis clothes almost torn off his body. Whenthe Sheriff reached the jail ho dismounted, aid, as he turned his back to go up tho jai steps, Walter (for it was none other thm he) made a gallant effort to get astride of ihe horse, but before he could di > so the mob lad closed in on him, shutting off all avenues t>f escni>e. He was subsequently sent back to Chester, and as soon as le arrived I wanted to put him into the shtedejiartment, as I feared, if he got to workngain in the oiien air, it was only a matter fa short time before he would attempt i second escape. However, as he had proved himself such uu exceellent mechanic, the superintendent of the con struction department insisted that he be placed to work for him. This brought him back to the sane work he was engaged at prior to his firs; escape, but to insure against any further breaks a heavy ball and chain was put on hislegs and a guard placed over him from the time he went to work in the morning until he was locked up at night. At this time the prison authorities were constructing some new ducts to the main sewer, and as Walter had shown himself to be invaluable bn masonry work he was set to work at once placing the key stones to the arches. .Todo his plumbing lie was fur nished with a chalkline, from which he stole very small pieces from day to day and hid them in his cell. He was compelled to steal a very small length at a time to avoid detection, but from May 30, until July 31, he had accumu lated enough of these stolen pieces to make a line 40 feet long. This he accomplished by tying the numerous pieces in short knots for the purpose of making it strong enough to sustain his own weight, and to do this he must have used up about 90 feet of chalk line. How he had managed to secure such a long line without the knowledge of the guard who stood over him all day was A MYSTERY THAT COULD NEVER BE SOLVED. Contrary to the usual wish of prisoners at Chester, Walter desired no cell mate, and this request was granted from the fact that he was a man over 0 feet high and weighed ISO pounds, and took up a great dual of room in one of the small cells allotted to the convicts. This isolation gave him the means he so greatly coveted, as he could work on the bars of his cell without being observed by his fellow prisoners. The lunges of his cell door were three inches thick, and these he had sawed com pletely through by the time he was ready to make the final coup. At 3:40 every morning, atChester, a detail of convicts are aroused quietly and taken to the Warden’s house to do the cooking and janitor work, and the keeper who conducts these men to this place is the only man who could an escaping convict at this time in the morning, as. none of the guards go on duty until (5 a. m. Walter, fully appreciat ing that fact, decided that this was the most opportune hour for him to make his break. Accordingly at this time, on the morning of July 31, as the keeper was taking his con tingent to the Warden’s house, Walter (having both hinges of his cell completely sawed through) jumped against his cell door with a superhuman effort, and the massive structure fell with a resounding crash that reverberated through the prison with a de tonation as loud as that produced by the firing of a dozan cannons. The guard who had the prisoners below in charge conducted them hastily to tho Warden’s house and then raised a general alarm. Walter knew that he had just about flvo minutes to con summate his egress, so he hurriedly left liis cell, which is on the third floor, and ascend ed tho cell block to where the duct that leads into the ventilator is situated. This is a brick and stone structure, arched over, and to gain an entrance he was compelled to use the heels of his shoes, which he com pletely destroyed, and were rendered use less. He was accordingly compelled to pro ceed on the rest of big journey barefooted. After he had GOT INTO THE DUCT through the hole just made, ho crawled a distance of 300 feet to the ventilator, which he ascended to the roof. He then slid down the sloping roof to the chimney, which was a distance of 90 feet from the ground. Hastily tying his fragile string around tlie chimney, he descended on it hand over hand until ho reached the end, which brought him to within 20 feet of the ground, but, nothing daunted, ho let go and struck the earth uninjured, scurrying as fast as he could to the woods near by. In the mean time I had responded to the alarm, and, seeing what had taken place, at once divined that he had made his exit through the roof. Taking a trusted prisoner with me, I produced a lantern and ascend ed the cell block to the duct leading to tho ventilator. I entered through the hole he had made, and finally got to the roof, but, seeing no one there, I slid down to the chimney, followed by the trusted convict, when wo were not long in discovering the true mode of his escape. How a man of his immense avoirdupois could have gone down on a string ns thin ns the one he used was something remarkable to contemplate. The convict who accom panied me laughed at my incredulity, and boasted that he could descend on it. Not being able to stand the banter I proniisod to secure his pardon if he did so. Grabbing the string hastily, he gave it a strong pull, but shook liis head dubiously, and frankly acknowledged that he would not attempt to descend on it for all the pardons in the world. Where on earth Walter lmd pro cured his saw was something that baffled all our most rigid investigations, and at last wo gave it up as an inscrutable task. After we had discovered his means of exit,guards were hastily detailed to scour the woods. One of them caught up with thoflying fugitive about7o’clock in the morning, in a cornfield, and leveling his gun at the ap parently terrified convict, commanded him to come on the outside of the fence. Having token such desperate chances at liberty, Walter determined to SELL HIS LIFE DEARLY, and on the impulse of the moment attempt ed the sympathy dodge, which proved suc cessful to tlie soft-hearted and unsuspecting guard. The fugitive, assuming a piteous expression of countenance, told tho guard that be coaid go no farther, as his feet were bleeding nnd maimed. To prove this asser tion he raised one of tho ensanguined mem bers over the fence, and whenthe chari table guard had dronjiod his gun and was ap proaching the subtle convict to give it a closer inspection. Walker, wheeled alx nit suddenly nnd disappeared in the tall corn stalks, with two or three bullets from the guard’s gun whizzing past his oars. From ttiat time on he was not heard of for years. I'reeently received n letter from Capt. Boland, of tho Chester penitentiary, in which he stated that Walter had been ar rested in California for burglary and sen tenced for a term of years in the State, prison at Folsom, and that since his incar ceration there he has made several dos|x*rate, but unsueccssful, attempts to escape, tho last, time almost killing the keeper of the cell house in his frantic bid for liberty. Taking an interest, in tho matter, I wrote to the authorities at Fohom in regard to the man. and received a letter from them the other tiay. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1887. In tho letter they stated that Schmidt (the name ho is known by there), had made six unsuccessful attempts to gain his liberty, the last scheme for liberation being the most ingenious ever attempted in their prison. He had been placed in the solitary cell for previous attempts at escape, and it was thought that this punishment would forever convince him that the prison offi cials were not to be trilled with. On Sun day it is the custom of the members of the board to visit the prison, hospitals and all convicts in solitary confinement. When the directors got to Schmidt's cell they noticed smoke emanating from it. and, peering in, saw the stalwart convict almost naked, with his arms clasped behind. His skin was bleached from lone confinement in the dark cell, but his rugged frame was perfect. The smoke was mane by burning pnjier in a pan to give the guard the idea that he was smoking, and the dust whicu was afterward discovered came from cement dug out from between ftie stone blocks in small quantities. He had cut out large blocks of granite which lav indiscriminately aliout the floor, having hid nearly all tlie dust beneath the blankets of ilia bed. He was begrimed with dirt and bathed in sweat when discovered, and looked like a giant. Ho had taken a piece of wire from the bale of his bucket and sharpened it on tho wail. WITH THIS LITTLE IMPLEMENT he had cut out the cement and removed nil the courses of blocks until only one more impeded his progress, and he had succeeded in removing nearly all of that. When tlie guards searched his cell they found two pieces of wire sharpened as keen ns a razor and formed in the shape of a dagger. With this he had intended to creep along the cor ridor, sneak up behind the captain of the guard, stab him suddenly, and then take his pistols and fight for liberty. He intended to commit murder, and if captured it would necessitate his being taken to Sacramento for trial, and from tho jail at that place ho could effect a comparatively easy escape. When Schmidt was discovered at this work he was token to amJther cell and doubly manacled, and a watch put over him. F’or two years he was busily engaged at burglary in San Francisco and Sacramento, and for a long time the police could not overtake him. His modus operandi consisted simply of a ladder, which he generally stole from a convenient place in the neighborhood mapped out for his burglaries, arid with this he would march boldly along the street to the point of his operation, where ho would put it against a window and ascend to the second story. Such is the history of a man whose escape from Chester prison I consider eclipses any, thing I over heard of in criminal annals. AVhile at Chester he was a peculiar prisoner. We could never learn anything about him from the time he entered until he escaped. He was always ail enigma. His extraor dinary reticence —disinclination to curry favor with any one—and his unqualified aversion to his fellow convicts were some of his peculiar idiosyncrasies. He was non communicative at all times, and every ruse essayed to draw him into a talkative mood signally faffed. We could never ascertain his nationality, but he claimed to be a na tive of Riga, Russia. He spoke English rather brokenly. I afterward heard that he had relatives living in Cincinnati by the name of Brownstein or Berenstein, engaged in tho clothing business there. A Gem Bonanza. From the Orlando (Fla.) Reporter. Mr. 8. A. Robinson returned a few days ago from a two months’ sojourn in the Adi rondack region of New York. It was known to many of our citizens that Mr. Robinson was spending some time there, but as that is a well known resort for pleasure seekers, and busy men who seek recreation, no one thought for a moment that our townsman was doing more than taking a rest. Ho was in the Adirodacks last sea son. But it seems there was method in his pleasure seeking, both then and now. Mr. Robinson, who is quite a geologist, last season discovered in a remote region of the Adirondacks, something which lie be lieved to be valuable. He obtained speci mens which were carefully analyzed and proven to be brown tourmaline. His next step was to associate himself with one of the best geologists in the North, and together they secured the ground upon which the find was located. Then they waited for tho opening of the present season, when Mr. Robinson went North, procured the neces sary outfit and the necessary assistance, and proceeded to develop his find. Ho quietly, but assiduously labored for two months, blasting out and removing hun dreds of tons of nx'k, and obtaining many specimens of the stone. Tourmaline is found, thus far, in but two portions of the world. It varies in color, sometimes being rod, sometimes green, and black, and rarer, still, brown. It is valued by jewelers as a gem stone, for the reason that it possesses two rare qualities. It has the power of polarizing light, and for this reason cannot be imitated. And when heated it develops polar electricity. Of the specimens token out of the vein by Mr. Robinson, ho lias had several cut, and, while not as brilliant as a diamond or an ametlij’st, they possess a subdued richness, winch should make them great favorites with those who prefer solid value to gaudy display. These specimens will be the first of the brown tourmaline offered to jewelers, and for this reason the discovery of Mr. Robin son is one of peculiar scientific interest. Their value as gem stones is to bo tested by experts and their report will be looked for with much interest. Mr. Robinson believes the discovery will prove a fortune, and those’who know him will certainly rejoice with him if those hoprs are realized. Whether valuable or not, a prettier stone would be hard to find. jfnoler&Morbus | olie Ijiarrhoe^ l^ummer complaints JlYSentery c All Cured b/~ a teaspoon ful of Perr/J)avidPain killer in a little fit ilk or Suaar and Water Au-QRueei&TS scu.it. jsj DRY GOODS.
