St. Louis, Mo., September 18--Information reached here by the North Missouri train last night that the guerrilla chief Poindexter escaped from Hudson yesterday morning.
To some it is not a matter of surprise.
It was feared that “a way would be made for his escape,” and it is now reported that the officers in charge of him took the irons off him, and sent hi<*> out on some pretext with two guards, upon whom he played the “played-out” trick of throwing red pepper in their eyes, and ran off. This is the whole story in a few words.
Why he has been kept this long at Hudson without meting out to him his just dues under military orders, deponent saith not.--St. Louis Republican, September 18.
