Story of the Escape of John Morgan
from Ohio Penitentiary.
Ever since the oscapo of John Mor
gun, tho famous confederate raider,
from the Ohio penitentiary, Insinua
tions have boon made that Morgan
nnd six of his comrades had outside
assistance from southern sympathiz
ers, and that Warden Nathaniel Merl
on connived nt tho escape,
Thomas W. Rullltt or LouIbvI1Is
lieutenant In (ho Second Kentucky

raid, has Just visited tho coll In the
Ohio ponltentlnry In which ho was
confined In 18G3-GI as a prisoner of
wnr. This Is Mr. Hullltt'B first vlalt to
tho ponltentlnry slnco the escape.
In very expressive terms ho denies
tho Insinuations regarding tho escape.
Accompanied by tho deputy warden,
Mr. Ilullltt visited tho coll In which
ho was confined and also that occupied
by Morgan.
"Thoro was no outsldo help In tho
escape," said Mr. Ilullltt. "I know,

through which the mon escaped. Tho
wholo thing was planned by Cnpt.
Thomas Hlncs, nnd tho hole through
tho floor wns In his cell. It wns kept
absolutely secret, even from our owa
men.
"Not moro than a dozen or fifteen
know anything about it until tho last
day, when wo woro unablo to keep it
from them any longer. I knew nbout
It becnuso I holped with tho work. I
am posltlvo that not a single person
on tho outsldo know n thing nbout It.
And I'll sny this about Merlon, who
was warden at tho tlmo: I nover did
llko him I disliked him exceedingly
but ho did not know n thing about tho
.escnpo. Thoro has boon somo suspi
cion thnt thcro was somo connivance
on his part, but It Is absolutely un
true. "Tho work wns all dono with case
knlvoB, which wo Btolo from tho dining
room, and ono shovol, which ono of tho
mon stolo somewhere. It wus used in
digging the titnnel."
Mr. Dullitt told nn Interesting story
pf tho escnpo. Ho assisted tho othor
men to got awny, but did not go him
solf becnuso his cell was near tho end
of tho coll block No. 4 nnd a guard
stood near It. It wub feared this guard
would hear him if ho mado an at
tomVt, so ho decided ho should stay
behind.
Capt. Hlncs, who had cell 19, com
menccd tho work, digging through tho
floor under hla bed. Every morning ho
would clonn his coll up nicely and put
everything In such prlmo condition
that tho guard would simply tnko n
look at tho Inside, without making an
oxantlnnUon,
"During tho day, when tho mon
woro nllowod the freedom of tho cor
ridors for exorcise, down through this
holo tho men would climb," said Mr.
Rullltt. "Tho coll tier was built on nn
nrchwny, and In hero thero was plenty
of room to work. Tho dlstnnces wero
cnrcfully measured off, and holes dug .
up to tho colls from below.
"At tho snmo tlmo work was going t
on In tho tunnel. On "the day of Gen.
Morgan's escape ho changed colls
with his brother, 'Rig Dick' Morgan.
A holo hnd boon dug Into Dick's coll.
In this way the gcnornl osenped, tho
brother staying behind.
"Four of tho' seven mon who es
caped aro doud," said, Mr. Rullltt.
"Smith, I hnvo not soon for two years,
nnd 1 nut not cortnlu whether ho Is liv
ing, but I think ho Is. Mctico nnd ono
othor I lost track of soon nftor tho
wnr, and I don't know whothor they
nro living."
Mr. Rullltt was a prlsonor front Au
gust, 1SG3, until enrly In tho spring of
18C4. Only tho commissioned olllcors
woro conllucd, and only a part of thorn
woro put In tho Ohio ponltontlnry, tho
othorB being taken to Allegheny, Pa.
Mr. Rullltt know but little nbout tho
prison, as tho Morgan men woro not
allowed to work In tho shops.
"Tho only part of the Insldo of the
ponltontlnry I over got to seo.wns my
own corridor,' and what I could see
whllo being marched across tho court
to my meals. Wo ofton wlshod thoj
would put us to work lu tho shops. We
would havo tnkon tho prison It thoy
had."
Mr, Rullltt enmo near making .ila
visit to the prison on tho annlvorsnty
of Morgan's oBcnpo. It was November
27, 18G3, and his visit was only n few
days later, U years aftrr tho escapo.
A MATTER OF COMPULSION.
No Soup, No Dinner, tho Rule Laid
Down by Carney.
Six years ngo, when tho king visited
Dublin, somo amusing Incidents were
recorded due to tho grotosquoncss of
Eomo hotel waiters apparently just
fresh from rural life.
Ono hotelkeoper told such a newly
imported "server" that he must al
ways serve every ono with soup at
dinner and be quite cortnln that he
had it.
Thereupon ensued the1 following
scono between a visitor and tho new
waltor:
"Soup, sir?" said Rarnoy.
"No soup for mo;" said tho visitor.
"Rut you must havo it," said Har
ney; "It's tho rules of tho houso."
"Hnng tho houso!" exclaimed tho
visitor, highly cxasporated. "When 1
don't want soup I won't cat iL Get

"Woll," Bald Rarnoy, with Bolomnlty,
