M'garigle Escapes

CniCAGO, July 25.- Warden W. J. McGarigle escaped from the custody of Sheriff Matson Satuvday night,and though a vigorous search is being made for him, in woich th entire pólice and detective forcé has joined, he has not been found and no trace of him has been disoovered. It appears that McGarigle left the jail at 8-40 o'clock Saturday night in charge of Sheriff Matson in person to visit nis new home in Lake View. The sheriff and his prisonerwentto McGarigle's house in a carriage and af ter reaching there McGarigle greeted his wife and chüdren very aftectionately, and all entered the front room. In a few moments McGarigle went upstairs to see the baby, Sheriff Matson remaining down-stairs in the front room. Although McGarigle was out of sigüt, he was not out of hearing of the sheriff, who heard him talking in the rom up-stairs. Presently he descenfled and said he would like to tako a bath. Baek oí the front room in which Sheriff Matson had remained was a parlor bed-room, and off this the bath-room. MeGarigle went into the bock room, accompanied by his wife, closed the door, and Sheriff Matson heard Mrs. McGarigle teil the domestic to bring "Mr. McGarigle" some clean clothing. Sheriff Matson could hear ine water running in bathtub. He waited until he thought a liberal tini3 hal elapsed for the bath and thcn asked McGarigle' s little girl, who had remaiiied In the room with him, to teil her father he must hásten. The child went to deliver the message, entered the bacx room and did not reappear. When, af ter a considerable time the girl had not returned, the, sheriff for the first time grew suspicious that something was wrong. it linal.y dawned on his mind that McGarigle might have played him false, and he resolved to go up-stairs and find out what had become of him. He went up and made a hasty search through the rooms, looking over and under the beds and in the clothes closets, but McGarigle had disappeared entirely. He hastened to the Webster avenue pólice station and notiüel Sergeant Quirk of the misfortune that had befallen him. Telegrams were sent to every cily in the country where it was thought the re was the remotest possibility of his turning up. Detroit was careiully guarded, and every steamer starting for Canada was closely watched. Trains were vigilantly searched at Buffalo and other Eastern points, and detectives in every part of the country were warned by wire ol the escape. State's Attorney Grinuell found time Sunday to explain his relations to llcGariffle and the causes that led the convicted man to see that his case was hopeless. It would appear that McGarigle had "laid down" flat and given up all he knew about "boodle" affairs with the exception of what he knew about M. C. McDonald. But McDonald was the man whom Mr. Grinnell was af ter more than the county commissioners, and when McGarigle refused to teil on him Mr. Grinnell told him that his interview was not satisfactory. This is a legitímate iníerence- in fact, a conclusión- that one can not escape in the light of Mr. Grinnell's statement. It is more probable, however, that McGarigle never intended to "squeal;" otherwise he could have had no object in giving the misinformation that Mr. Grinnell speaks of. Evidently McGarigle had the plan all mapped out before he began to negotiate with Mr. Grinnell and deceived the Slate's Attorney from the beginning, working for inter views_ until he finally got one at his own house, wbere the schema could be carried out Mr. Grinnell, ih answer to a question, Baid he believed that the State could hold the bondsmen on all the cases against HcGarigle, and was s:re that the bondsmen could notproceed against the sheriff. The question of whether McGarigle, if he has succeeded in escaping to Canada, can be broueht back to Chicago is susceptible of a great deal of doubt Commissioner Philip A. Hoyne was asked whether McGarigle could bebrouht back from British soil the exisUnsextradition treaty. "Most certainly not," he said. "Does the fact that he has been actually convicted of the felony charged against him cut any figure" "Not at all; there are about five or six crimes for which he could bebroughtback. These include murder, arson, piracy, highway robbery, forgery and assault and battery. He has been convicted of neither of these, and therefore, in my opinión, nis stay in Canada, rf he is there, is likely to be unlimitei. " ' [W. J. McGarigle and Ed McDonald were lointly convicted a short time ago ior havin been engaged in the Wholesale robbery of Cook County, as carried on by the boodle gang for years. McGarigle and McDonild were eaoh sentenced to three years' iroprisonment, and Judge Shepard retused to admit them to bail, and they were in eustody awaiting the result of a motion fora new trial. Belng the first convictions in the boodle business, naturally the case excited the etrongest public interest, and if he successfully eludes pursuit the wrath of the comtnunity will be great, indeed. There were In all twenty-four indictments against McGarigle, on one of which he aas been tried and convicted. Hia bondsmen are Ernest J. Lehmann and James Fïtzsimmons, and tiey are liable in all for $60.500. On three of the indictments there are bon ds of 110,000 eacjh; ín two others, 15,00) each; on one t2,S00, aofl on the remaining eighteen, 11,000 each.1 Chicago, July 26.- McGarigle' s whereabouts are still involved in mystery. The Bearch for him is being prosecuted by the Bheriff's departraent, the pólice and the private detectives with considerable show of vigor, but as yet ithout any practical results.
