Slim Build Lets this Convict Escape.
Stiney Bogden, of Shenandoah, Pa., owes to his slim build and a rope of stockings his liberty, which he gained some time between midnight and 5 o’clock in the morn[{67}]ing, by squeezing through the small aperture which served as a window in his cell in the Schuylkill County prison. He then dropped to the ground twelve feet, scaled the lightning rod to the top of the jail building, and with the stocking rope lowered himself to the street on the other side of the jail wall. The window was so small that it was not thought necessary to provide it with bars. Bogden was serving a two-year sentence for receiving stolen goods, and had served about six months of his time. Thus far no clew to his whereabouts has been obtained.
