The format i>u of a plau of escape
made a w >uderful difference both to

be wouid < outrive to tei her husband
be,\oud the prisou walls she captured
hiui to ber purjkjaie.
Boyle thought the matter over aud
dm led u|x.?u taking lu an assistant.
A niyht watchman uauied Hunter had
acces.-. to the uiuiu office room of the
prison where u - kept a key that must
he obtained or duplicated before there
wouid be uuy u .;v of getting Maxsou
out of tb. j>us< ;i l?u. -iiug. Boyle told
Mr?. Maxsou to endeavor to interest
Hunter .u the plan by offering him a
lar^'e sum of money. Sh?; succeeded,
and after she bad done so Boyle com
municated with Hunter, and they
formed a plan together to get Max
sou out of the building and Into :he
prison yard There they were to assist
him to x-ale the walls, and he was to
be met by bis friends ou the other side.
The kej required was to open Max
sou's cell. It hung on a nail in the
warden s safe. Hunter could get lu
tbere only when the warden was pres
ent. To take the key from the nail aud
not return it Immediately would have
revealed the fact that Maxsou was to
be permitted to escape. Hunter's ob
ject w as to secure an impression of
the key. from which a duplicate could
be made. When be was ready to op
erate by rushed into the warden's of
fice and told him he bad heard some
thing like a shot In the other end of
the prison. The warden went to the
door and llsteued. Hunter while the
man's back was turned slipped the key
be wanted from Its nail and hung an
other in its place. Then Hunter left
the office, saying that he would go and
see if there was any trouble. When
he returned he had a wax impression
of the key and, watching his opportu
nity. exchanged the real key for its
substitute.
Meanwhile Boyle had procured a
Adder, which he had concealed in a
convenient place to be u.<ed by Maxsou
in cUuibiug the wall Tbere was a
second wall which the prisoner would
need to climb, and Mrs. Maxsou had
arranged with his two friends. Wood
ruff and So niers. to be outside this
second wall at the time of the escape
to throw a rope over for him to climb
upon. He was to make known his
presence by throwing a stone over the
wad.
There were so many contingencies
to the BOCC4M of the plan that Boyle
and Hunter were loath to go ou with it
Humor would have ?*cked out 11had "
not beeu for th? earnest pleading of
Mrs Maxson. It was all sb0 .,
U, bold Lin. to his purpose. When all
else failed she agreed to double tht
amount of his reward. That dedd?a
hliu. Nothing remalued but to appoiui
| a certain night when Woodruff aud
Souicrs should be ready at the outtr
wall aud the attempt should be wade,
i The night arranged for wus verj
dork, a high wiud howling furlo"s'^
This was In some resets au ad\au
taye. for the operations of the cousplr*
| alow were less likely to be heard.
After mkluight Boyle gate -vJaxs0" a
suit of clothes, let hltu out of his cell
and conducted hliu to the prison yard,
ttovle knew just where guards and
watchmen yere stationed and how to
avoid them In the yard they found
Hunter. Boyle withdrew the ladder
from Its hiding place aud put It up
agalust the wall.
It was far too short.
It looked as If. after all the planning
and pains. the attempt was to be a
failure. There was no possibility ef
the prisoner getting on the wall. Hl>
assistants were wild with terror. The,
had as much at stalie as the man tbi J
were trying to <et free. To return hlm
to his eell would bo to Uuur again the
risk they h,d taken in getting htm
out. They must put him oxer th.
wall. ,
"for heaven's sake. Hunter." gasped
Bovle. "what shall we do :
Til go to the dining room and get a
table."
"Go quick." , . ,
The table was brought and Stood
near the walL The ladder was placed
on it. but It was still too short. Max
son climbed It. but could uot get his
fingers on the wall's top.
"Steady!" called Boyle In a loud
whisper, and he and Hunter who
were both stroug men, raised the j
dor the height of their shoulders.
little more:" called Maxson. |
By a combined efTort they raised It
as high as they could reach, and the
prisoner got on to the wall.
Bovle and Hunter were still In terri
ble danger of discovery- tnU they
bad removed the table and the ladder
Uld had returned to their duties they
were not safe. But they accomplished
It all. Their work was done. Each
had a promise of what to him was a
.-.mail fortune. j
Maxson must take a Jump in the |
il irk What was below him. how far
U was to the ground, he did not know,
and he could not see. He might break
his neck; he might break a limb The
latter alternative seemed worse to him
than the first, for if he were unaWeto (
walk he would be recaptured placed
lu dose confinement and would doubt
less die lu prfcou. He must take the
risk Hanging by his tingers he kt ^
and dropped. He struck sof ^uud
and. though jarred, was uot _
What there was about him was not
revealed under the heavy clouds scud
dlug across the sky Which direction
to take to reach the outer wa he did
uot know; but. placing his back
"lUst the wall he had scaled, he
walked Straight forward- Tie hadn?t
gone fifty paces before he brought I
against the second barrier. All he
knew of his friends' position was that
thev had been instructed to be as nea
,slble to the point where he was
to scale the first wall. He groped
about to find a stone to throw over the
w ill but could feel nothlug but dirt.
Oh for a flash of lightning that he
might see some object that he could
i use!
After si>eudlug what seemed to him
half uu hour hunting for a stone? It
mii;ht have been teu minutes? fearing
that his friends would think the at
tempt had either been postponed or
ha.l failed and would go away, he
went to the wall, clutched it frautical
ly and for a moment gave way to de
spair. Theu it occurred to him to
throw over some loose dirt. Scooping
some damp earth in his hands, he
matie a ball of it aud tossed it over
the wall. Ue listened, but no sound
came. The stillness was horrible. He
scooped up another handful and, walk
lug a short distance to his right, threw
that over. Again he listened. Sudden
ly something fell on the ground near
hlin. but how near or in which direc
tion from him he could not tell. He
rushed about him for some time, when
suddenly he eucountered a rope.
With a stifled cry of joy he pulled
on It. He encountered resistance.
Walking to the wall, he bore his
weight on the rope It was firm. Then
he began to climb.
It was all his strength could accom
plish to take him to the top. Indeed,
without the incentive he possessed he
could not have done It Once on the
wall he called In a low voice. Wood
ruff answered and told him to drop.
He did so, and his friends each grasp
ed one of his hands. Then they hur
ried him away.
There would be no safety in meeting
his family. Wheu he was missed
their movements would be watched.
He was taken to a place some dis
tance from the Jail, where a carriage
was waiting, and driven twenty miles
to a railway station. His friends had
brought with them materials for a
makeup, and when he alighted at the
statioD he appeared as an old man.
Maxson was concealed for weeks in
the house of one of hU relatives. When
the excitement attending his escape
had worn off he took passage under an
assumed name for Australia. There he
was joined by his wife and children,
and there he lives today, but far from
where he would be liable to meet any
one who would recognize him. Twenty
years have passed since he made his
escape, and now he would not be
knowu as the same man.
His two assistants were never
known to be implicated In his escape,
and both soon after left the state serv
| ice and set up in buslnew.
