Escape from jail. --The officers at the city jail discovered yesterday morning that three of their prisoners had made their escape during the night and fled to parts unknown. Their names are William Martin, John Lipscomb alias Jack Shepherd, and Pat, Cunningham — all known by the police, and somewhat notorious in the community at large. The first was awaiting trial for breaking into Porter, Harris & Horner's store; the second for breaking into C. P. Word & Bro.'s, and the third for some misdemeanor of less importance. It appears that they dug a hole through the wall of their cell and climbed upon the roof of the work-house building from whence, by means of ropes made of their bed-clothing, they let themselves down into the corporation lot.--The hole was worked through the wall with iron bars taken from the door of the cell; but how they managed to remove these bars from their places, we have no means of ascertaining. It was, altogether, quite an adroit exploit.
