Stewart, who has been conducting an investigation of the recent escape of Matthias Marvin from the frowning walls of the Cass county jail, has unearthed the truth of the escape and which was a well "greased" affair and showed real ex perience on the part of the wily Matthias on the manners and meth ods of getting out of a tight hole. In the escape, soap played a very important part and by its use Matth ias, who is not such a small built man was able to crawl through a small hole used to supply food to the inmates of the jail and through which an ordinary good sized child would have a hard time getting out. From tiie statements made by other prisoners in the jail it seems that Marvin first secured some soap, and very thoroughly greased the f ides and top of the opening through which he had planned to crawl and then ho had taken off all his clothes p.ivl stepped under the shower and become thoroughly wet and with the assistance cf another of the prison ers soaped himself thoroughly and vu3 a stick as the proverbial "greas ed pig" when he was ready for the dash toward freedom. He first put out an arm ar.d then hi: head thru and with some pushing he was able to get both ams out ana irora men on it was easy going. When Marvin was entirely out of opening he had his clothes thrown cut to him by one of tiie prisoners and then dressed and made his get away and had hardly got into the clear when Deputy Sheriff Young uppearc 1 on the scene and discovered the get away, but the silence of the test of tb-j prisoners on the length of time that Marvin had been gone en abled him to make a clean get away. Tiie m-in Marvin had only forty days yet to serve and was quite fool iiii to try and get away as he will be given a harder jolt if he is captured.
