Fester Parents Believe That
Birraws Wenai Is lasaie
Mrs. Stella Burrows aged 17 ysrs,
whose episodes were written up exten
sively In the Mt. Vernon and Colum
bus newspapers last week, added an
other chapter to her eventful .career
Saturday night when she made her
escape from the Knox county jail, aid
ed by two Mt. Vernon men, eo it Is
alleged.
An a result of the girl's escape from
Jail she now languishes In a cell In the
Knox county Jail and Howard Bart
lett and Stephen Lafever are also
locked up In a cell In Jail and will be
cnargod with' aiding a prisoner to es
cape.
The woman made a successful es
cape from the county bastlle at 8:30
Saturday night Mrs. Burrows had
beea helping Mrs. Woollspn with her
work about the county Jail for sev
eral days past and had not been lock
ed up In a cell at night. She had been
sleeping on a cot In a bath room lo
cated on the second loor of the Jail
at tie south-east corner of the structure.
'When Sheriff Woolison was about to
retire Saturday evening about 9:30
o'clock, he" discovered that the r Bur--roWe
woman had made her escape.
He investigated and found that a
rope had been attached to a shutter
and the girl had slid down the rope
to freedom. Sheriff Woolison at once
notified the police and a search was
made all night long for the young wo
man. The officers first went to the
home of the woman's foster parents,
but Mrs. Burrows had not been there.
It was 11 o'clock Sunday morning
when Sheriff Woolison found the wo
man in a room with Samuel Beeman
in tho Bishop building on West High
street. The woman was taken back to
tho.county Jail and this time was lock-
' ecTup in a coll.
Before making her escape Saturday
night the Burrows woman stole a suit
caso, the property of Mrs. Woolison,
and In this she packed all her cloth-
' ing. The suit cuse was found In her
possession when sho was taken In by
the sheriff on Sunday morning.
' Tho moment that Sheriff Woolison
discovered the woman had made her
escape from Jail, ho, was convinced
that Bhe had received assistance from
the outside. Accordingly he notified
the officers to be on the lookout for
Howard Bartlett and Stephen Lafever.
The former was arrested by the po
lice Saturday night on South Main
street and was lodged in Jail. Sunday
morning about 0 o'clock Lafever was
arrested and was placed In Jail. Sher
iff Woolison statod that Lafever
acknowledged that he and Bartlett
had aided the woman in making her

seas and farther told the feeritt
that the Burrows woman was located
In the Bishop building on West High
street. This was the first Information
the sheriff received as to the where
abouts of the girl who had made her
escape from the county Jail.
According to' the story told by La
fever he had talked with the woman
In the county Jail last week concern
ing an escape from the county Jail.
Lafever was In Jail last week for. as
sault, but was released during the
.early part of the week.
According to the story told by La
fever, Bartlett next took up the plan
of aiding the girl In making her es-
cape. The Burrows woman had been
permitted by Mrs. Woolison to go to
the hydrant for water and whllo she
was on a mission of this kind, Bart
lett appeared on the Bceno and handed
the Woman a note tellng her that she
would be furnished with a ropo and
that she was to tie It to tho shutter
and slide to tho ground. It appears
that Bartlett and Lafever carried out
their part of the agreement and the
girl had no trouble In making her es.
cape.
Bert Scholes wan also arrested by
the police Sunday in connection with
the case, but after he told what he
knew about the' matter he was releas
ed from custody.
Prosecutor Cromley stated Monday
that he was preparing charges to be
filed against Bartlett and Lafever,
charging them with aiding a prlsoneh
to escape from Jail. The penalty pro
vides a heavy fine and a workhouse
sontence.
The officials are at Iobs to know
what to do with the Burrows woman.
She Is but 17 years of ugo. Last week
she was picked up by tho police In
Columbus for wearing men's clothing.
She was brought back to this ' city
where a charge of petit larceny was
filed against her, it uelng alleged
that she stole $25 from a Mt. Vernon
man before going to Columbus. .. Tho
girl was found guilty and was given
a fine and sentenced to 30 days in the
Dayton workhouse. Since the sentence
was imposed, it was discovered thai
the girl was not of age and that the
mayor had no jurisdiction in the case.
The Juvenile court took up tho matter
aud agreed to find a home for the girl
in the, future upon condition that she
behave herself, but since the last epi
sode it is not likely that anything will
be done for the girl.
Sheriff Woolison , stated (Monday
morning that he would file a charge
against the woman,' bui later in the
morning the foster parentB of the wo
man appeared at the court house and
said they, would possibly file an affl-
davit in lunacy against ton woman The
foster parents say that thb girl Is in
sano and should be sent to the state
hospital.
Mrs. Burrows was married last May
in the city of Akron,- but her husband
lived with her but a short time. The
foster parents state that his where
abouts are unknown at present.
