From Saturday s Dally
shorifT R P. 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.
