Fleury's Clerk O'Farrel Likewise
Departs—How it Was
Done.
"Where is Fleury?" is the question
that the officials of Paso del Norte have
Dcen trying to answer since 9 o'clock
Sunday night. For at that hour the slick
scoundrel, accompanied by his late clerk
and pal in crime, O'Farrel, slipped away
from the soldiers that were guarding him,
and scurried off into darkness and safety.
Paso del Norte was stirred to its depths
yesterday by the sensational escape. All
sorts of rumors were afloat as to how the
flight was effected.
one report
had it that in order to give
the fine gentleman Fleury a
little recreationhis guard took
him to a bal masque, and there, under
cover of the festivities, he got away.
Another rumor had it that Fleury bought
up one of his guards, got the rest drunk
on mixed cognac, champagne Jand other
delicacies and costly beverages, and so
madft his way out of captivity How
much truth there is in the report that he
got his guards drunk, or that he bought
one or more of them, it is not easy to
learn. But the
details of tiik escape.
as gleaned by a Times reporter yesterday
in Paso del Norte, from reliable Mexican
sources are as follows:
Fleury, O'Farrel, and also
Messrs. . Kahn and Brunschweig,
of Kahn Bros., were confined
at the house of Joaquin Alvarez. The
jail in Paso del Norte is not deemed a fit
place in which to confine prisoners who
have belonged to the higher grade of so-
ciety. but is reserved for drunks, train
robbers, American editors, and such.
Fleury and the others were not kept in
close confinement, farther than that they
were under the watchful eye of a Mex-
ican military officer and five soldiers.
Last Sunday Fleury and O'Farrell plan-
ned with the officer of their guard to
have a little fun that evening. The three
disguised themselves and left the prison
house. They then wended their way to
a house of ill fame where a baile was in
progress. They looked in the window
from the outside and enjoy-
ed the festivities as best
they could. They had planned to have
three of the females return to the house
\vr\\ara '
Fleury and O'Farrel told the officer to go
in and
INFORM THE 8EXOIMTAS
that they were ready to receive them at
Alvarez's house. The officer with mar-
velous faith in the honor of his prisoners
left them outside and went after the
damsels. Then came the opportunity
which Fleury and O'Farrel had sought.
The oniy information about their where-
abouts subsequent 1o that moment is the
testimony of an old Mexican woman who
owns two vicious dogs. She says that
about the hour of the escape her dogs
raised an alarm. She went to the door
and saw two men running in the direc-
tion of the cemetery, in the southwestern
part of PaRo del Norte.
The all important question is now,
where have the birds flown. Some of
the shrewd ones in Paso del Norte yes
terday were inclined to think that the
fugitives were still secreted in that town,
and would remain there for the present.
On this theory, a fcrce of soldiers and po-
lice officers
swarmed over the town
yesterday and searched every nook and
cranny. Others believe that both Fleury
and O'Farrel swam or forded the river
and are now in the United States. As
sooft as the alarm was given Sunday
night guards were stationed at both
bridges and to patrol the river banks for
some distance up and Jown. The street
cars were stopped, and people who went
over from El Paso to see the liosado
company at the Teatro Juarez had trots
ble to get back.
A well informed Mexican gentleman
expressed the opinion last night that the
fugitives had confederates, who furnished
them horses with which they started
across the plains west of Paso del Norte.
Several arrests were made in Paso,del
Norte yesterday of persons suspected of

Mauro Candano,
Jefe Politico of the Bravos district.
Paso del Norte, March 12,1888.
The judicial investigation sinrr Fleu-
ry's arrest six weeks ago has disclosed a
long record of villainy. Up to the time
of Fleury's arrest for the diamond thefts
nothing was known here of his antece-
dents. It has since been learned that
some years ago he was a paymaster in
the Mexican army, stationed at. Zacate-
cas. He gambled away government
funds to the amount of $5,000, nnd was
tried therefor and sentenced to be shot.
Influence of some sort was brought to
bear in Fleury's favor, it is said, and he
was pardoned by President Gonzales. At
another time Fleury is said to have been
under sentence of death at Pueblo, and
to have escaped on the yery day set for
his execution. But so completely had
all recollection of him faded away from
men's minds in southern Mexico, while
he was flourishing incog, at Paso del
Norte, that a few months ago he ventur-
ed to visit the City of Mexico and escap-
ed recognition.
After his arrest here one of Fleury's
friends, who knew nothing of his record
before coming here, visited him in his
confinement, Fleury broke down com-
pletely and ivept like a child. He said
that he had long known that he was in
danger of arrest, anu that he would have
wound up his affairs here and left, had
it not been that he was desperately in
love with one of Paso del Norte's fairest
and most highly connected daughters,
and that he hoped to marry her

The Times published Associated Press
dispatches last Sunday stating that Unit-
ed States Marshal Meade, of Arizona,
who, with a posse, was in pursuit of the
Stein's Pass train robbers, had been ar-
rested at Janos, Mexico, about a hundred
miles west of El Paso. It is reported
that five men wpre arrested, Marshal
Meade, Deputies Shibbell and Will Smith
and the two Papago trailers.
Acting Governor Lauro Carrillo, of
Chihuahua, has been in Paso del Norte
for several days. As Janos is in the state
of Chihuahua, the affair at Janos is with-
in Governor Carrillo s jurisdiction. The
governor talked freely about the matter
Sunday and yesterday. He said that he
received his first information of the
arrest from the city of
Chihuahua. A courier brought
the news from Jano3 to Chihuahua,
and it was telegraphed from there to the
governor at Paso del Norte. The gpv-
ernor at once telegraphed the facts to
the federal government at the City of
Mexico and asked for instructions. He
was directed to order the release of the
marshal and his men, but not to deliver to
them their arms. A courier was at once
dispatched from Chihuahua to Janos
with this order. Governor Carrillo sup-
poses that Marshal Meade and his posse
have already been released.
□ The'governor says that the Mexican
authorities would have gladly detailed
officers to aid Marshal Meade in his ef-
forts to capture the robbers, had such
aid been asked. But the action of the
marshal in pursuing the robbers into
Mexico without either the authority of
treaty stipulations or the permission of
Mexican officials could not be
overlooked. It is stated that though
the United States and Mexico made a
convention some time ago which permit-
ted the troops of either country to pur-
sue hostile Indians into the other coun-
try, that convention has expired. And
even when it was in.force did not cover
such a mission as Marshal Meade's.
Governor Carrillo informed Consul
Mackey yesterday that he had sent de-
scriptions of the Stein's Pass robbers to
all towns in northern Mexico, with or-
ders to have the robbers arrested if they
were seen.
There is a report that at the time of
Marshal Meade's arrest he was but two
hours behind the robbers. This, how-
ever. is d emed improbable, since he
could hardly ha v.- gained on them so
rapidly.
