JJonvlct Tom O'Brien, w ho Inst Friday made a dar ing esoar from the slate prison, has wnt a communication the Miner, v!eadtn for a public statement of his nlleged crime and vowing the death of Under Sheriff Dave Morgan, for his ulH'fed perjured testimony, the con vict, declares sent him to prison and wrtiked his home. The document re ceived bv the Miner bars the post mark of Anaconda. The writer dates his communication from a mountain In the surrounding hills, and says he wrote his story behind a rock, dividing his time between his Winchester and his pen- The communication is a lit erary freak, and no question exists as to its authenticity, as the hand writing has been identified by the warden of the penitentiary and others acquainted with the cri'vlna. " O'Brien declares his sole object in escaping from the penitentiary is to kill Deputy Sheriff Morgan, and after that is accomplished he will surrender to officers and take the consequences. In describing his escape from the penitentiary, O'Brien, who is a gradu ated veterinary surgeon and a trusty, worked In the stables of the prison, saysh e gave the bloodhounds opium to that they would be unable to track him. He also fed tne warden's horse a week previous so that the animal would be in condition for his escape. O'Brien dashed by the guards mount ed on a favorite race horse belonging t the warden. Posses are now securing the country for the fugitive, but with the exception of the Utter received by the Miner and another by the warden telling that official 'where his horse could be found, nothing has been heard of the escaped convict OBritn was sent up for robbery in 1901.
