FOWLER, Editor. Wednesday, iiarcii isto. TRUE RE-CAPTURED A Detailed Account. The following account of the capture o' th a prisoners True and Plamondon is taken liora the Lawrence Dally Journal, of Sun day morning The time and mode of the escape of the prisoners has already been given to the public. On Sunday, Feb.

23d, at. about half-past seven o'clock, the escape was perfected, am' J. B. True, Peter Planiou- William Morse lound themselves outside the Douglas county jail. From Hie jail yard they ran over the steep embank ment north of the jail and walked or rau along the Atchison, Topeka Santa track iu an easterly direction.

They left the track and ran over in the yiclHity of the packing bouse; but, turning south again, took to the railroad track, which they lollowed east until opposite Blue Mound Ford, on the Wakarusa; then turned south, and crossed the Wakarusa at the above-named ford. hey continued travellinguntil a Utile beyond Blue Mound, wherp they hid in a straw stack, aud there remained all day Monday. It was their plan to travel at night only, and thus, by avoiding houses entirely, they hoped tn escape detection. During the day time they lay concealed in straw stacks either finding one in which the top had been blown oil by the wlud, aud under whieh they lay, or pulled off the top them selves, giving it the appeurauce of Leing the work of the wind. On Monday night the fugitives came out from under their concealment and continued their journey.

During the night they reached Captain's creek, Johnson county, aud stopped about five mi les south ol riesper. Here they lay concealed all day Tuesday. On Tuesday night they started lor Oardncr, overtaking a farmer, with whein tney rode to that place. This man altervards toll ml out that prisoners bad escaped I ioia the jail here, and being confident that themeu who had keen with him were the fugitives, he telegraphed bheriit Clarke. This despatch was received here J'liursuiiy, aud was the tirst heard troin the prisoners.

Woduesday was spent in concealment iu a haystack northeast ol Uarduer, Wednesday night they were sceu by people who were going to a meeting at a sciiool house iu the vicinity, going iu a southerly duec tion. At this school-house the lugitivcs stole a tin cup, which lUey used to hold milk, which was easily obtained from cows iu the ileitis, and Was almost their only nourishment. They continued travelling iu guuiO-euleru direction, all ednesday night, going li, it about a mile east and men a iniiu south, until within a few miles east ol Ocuillree, whcie they built a tire and couked some chickens Which they Had stolen. Another straw alack served to conceal uiein ull duy Thursday. Sheriff Clark left Lawrence in company with Ulite Walker, on Thursday nioinlng.

At lour o'clock that afternoon he reached the place wbeio the lugitivcs had built a die the night hclure. Mo went at once to Hill, where he obtained some Iresli liorsos auu pressed on to Aubroy. liere he found a iariuer who had seen Uiu lugitivcs making tracks tor Missouri at about half past seven that (Thursday) evening. Here the Shciltt obtained the sorvios of six men to aid him the search. He sent two of the men tu jollosv the fugitives, while he with tuo others rode rapidly ahead and took their ntaiiu where he expected they would pass.

Here they waited until the two men sent to follow them returned, and they then found that, instead of takini; a southerly direction, as tht expected, the fugitives went east by au unlrequented roail. They again started in pursuit, and found a farm hoiiso where one ol the jailbirds had obtained a piece ol bread only Ulteen minutes belore, and went at once to aliue where it was supposed they were. Through this lane, which was heavily hedged on both sides, they charged at a rapid pace, expecting every monieut to overtake the prisoners. But in this they were disappointed, the fugitives were not there. The pursuing party now divided, p-j-t going east, and part ShoriF Clarke Was now confident that the fugitives were in tho Immediate vicinity, itnd ho therefore roused the country to the pursuit.

On I'Yiday before daylight the search commence twenty-five or thirty fresh men joining in the pursuit. Men were rent out in eery direction, that the country might he thoroughly scoured, A lauiily was loiinni who had seen the fugitives going eat toward (irand Iltver. A long line ot men was formed, whe advanced, senrching every hay stack and piece ot timber, without avail until noon.1 when they reached a house whore it was proposed to take dinner, As the rest ol the party were going to the house one raai said ho was going to loik a little more in some timber near by. He had been gone but a few minutes when he called to the rest, and all rushed to the spot to find the two borse-thlovos, who were at once secured On Vol ng asked concerning the whereabouts ol True they insisted that they id not seen him since the night of the escape. Sheriff Clarke knew this to be falso, as thoy had been seen together all along tho trail.

The sheriff told the old Alissourians that wore with him that lie was sure that the horse-thieves knew where True w.is, and th.it If they could llnd him the $100 reward theiis. The-men told bun to let them take the prisoners, and they would llnd True. Sli irllf Clarice as they requested, and he himself went to dinner. How tho horse-tliieves were persuaded to "blow" on True is not known, but can easily be imnirineil. -Before the sheriff had gotten his dinner one of tho men came back aud said thev had found True, and in a few mluules the other men came up, bringing him with them.

The first words True said, when lie saw Clarke, were: "The boys must have given me away, or you would not have gotten me lor sevsraf days, at The men, directed by tile horse-thieves, had gone to the hay stack where True was concealed, (aud he says intended to remain over Sunday,) and told him to come out, which he did. True saiil tint he felt sure that, If Sheriff' Clarko got on his trail he would be captured, as happily has proven the case. Sheriff Clarke soiit Ollle WalkSr to Spring Hill, who scut the despatch published Saturday morning. Sheriff Clarke returned to Spring Hill With the prisoners, and came up on the noon train Saturday. A largo crowd followed the sheriff and the prisoners as they passed through the streets on their way to tho jail, which had increased to a large number when they reached the latter place.

A joyous shout was ralsod by the crowd as the heavy door of the Douglas county jail again closed on the three criminals, Mr. Clarko deserves the sincere thanks of the countv and tho State for his persistent efforts which have beeu orowned Villi success. This was tho first limn the sheriff bad over lust during his four years of office, and he had resolved to capture them if It took every cent he had. The men who assisted Sheriff Clarke were hirod by htm at his own private expeuse, the sficrlff' telling thuin that hu would pay all expenses, and thnt the lirst man who brought True to him should have flOH, or ill ut ii would pay the meu by the day for their services. Thus those three pflsoncrs, after being out nearly one week, and having lour days the start of the elllcers, have been recovered und eontlned, Everyone Is congratulating the sheriff on his success, and no one is more happy nt the result than his Worthy deputy, M.J.

Utirlliigaiue. A letter directed to Ins brother was written by True on the day of his escape. The letter has a very religious tone, although its Bincpi lty might he dwiibted. PUB LIS RED EVEHY WEDNESDAY, At Louistille, PotUwatomie County, Kansas. S.
