REVIEW
NEAR JAIL BREAK!
Fate is Against Him
SHERIFFS SON HEARS WORK
Prisoner Slicks L'g Through Hole in
Wall and Waiting Oilicrr
Lays Hold of it
Robert L. Mooney, ex-convlct of
Washington, awaiting trial on a
charge of swindling, made a second
unsuccessful attempt to escape from
the county jail In Roseburg Thursday
night. After five hours of bard work,
he made a hole In the wall of the
jail big enough to admit the passage
of his body and started to go through
It feet first when Sheriff Qulne, who
lay In wait, grabbed him. Cursing
in his chagrin nnd perspiring heavily
from his battle for liberty through
barriers of steel, brick and concrete,
Mooney was locked in the innermost
cell of the jail, sxS feet in dimen
sions, where he will stay until the
Circuit Court in November disposes
of his case.
Moonoy's elopement to Astoria
with llthel Metcalf, of Oakland, Is
still fresh In the memory of the pub
lic. The charge against him is ob
taining money from Mrs. Carrie Set
tle, of Oakland, by pretending to be
a brother of the man who later
wedded Miss Metcalf. Mooney was
first locked up In the county jail
hero on July 25. That night, with
the alleged assistance of another
prisoner, ho tried to break jail and
was at the point of success when the
noise of his operations on the brick
wall reached the ears of night officer
.1. L. Chambers. Had the prisoners
been left unmolested 20 minutes
longer they would have been free. .
Credit Due Sheriff's Son.
Since the first nttempt to gain his
liberty. Mooney has been denied the
freedom of the inner corridor of the
jail where prisoners nre afforded
liberal space for living purposes. He
was locked In the larger one of the
Inner cells, where the lavatory was
situated, nnd from this he made
Thursday night's attempt to escape.
That he failed is due to the merest
chance.
Passing through I ho court yard on
his way home between 10 nnd 11
o'clock, Herbert, the 10-year-old son
of Sheriff Qulne nnd a high school
student, heard a noise that aroused
his suspicion. He kept quiet and
waited and in a few minutes he heard
the striking of a match and then a
tiny shaft of light came through a
place in the wall. This told the hoy
what was tnking place. Klve min
utes later the Sheriff and Policeman
Chambers quietly seated themselves
outside of the Jail at the spot where
Mooney was working, nnd a half
hour later they treated the prisoner
to the hlggosot surprise of his life
when he started to rrnwl throiigll
the hole which he had made In the
wall.
Mooney Works Like nonvo.r.
The wall of the jail is of brick
1C
Inches In thickness. Mooney re
moved enough bricks to make an
aperture about two feet wide and a
foot from top to bottom. Turning
about feet first, he extended one leg
through the opening nnd Sheriff
Qulne grabbed It. His clutch was
not strong enough to hold Mooney,
who jerked Tils leg tree ami
scrambled back into his cell, omitt
ing a volley of curses. fining Inside
of the jail' Qulne and Chambers at
once saw the evidence of one of tho
most laborious efforts ever made to
break out of Jail.

fixtures. Mooney attacked the

Inches of supporting concrete and
brick that encased the pipe leading
from the lavatory to a point outside
of the outer wall. Ills tools were an
Iron bar nnd a piece of sleel pipe.
After making a hole over two feet
in circumference in the floor ma
terials, Mooney climbed down into
the space underneath It and attacked
the 16-inch wall. It was while ho
was thus engaged that he was over
heard by Herbert Qulne. Mooney
began his labors nfter gating the
evening meal, served to him nbout 5
o'clock. It was about 11:30 when
the grip of the Sheriff's band on his
leg told him that his work had been
in vain.
Mooney Aided From Outside.
There were two other prisoners In
the jail while Mooney was at work,
but neither aided him. One was 8.
11. Bowers, a local sewing machine
agent, who was Incarcerated on the
upper floor. The other was a Japan
ese named Fuglmoto, awaiting trial
for bootlegging. The Jap, who Is al
lowed the liberty of the outer cor
ridor, supplied the Sheriff with In
formation showing indisputably that
Mooney was aided from the outside.
Fuglmoto said that Mooney con
versed with a man Btnndlng outside
out the jail Thursday afternoon and
that some object was passed Into
Mooney through the burred windows.
This was probably the Iron bar
which Mooney used that night. The
officers have no clew to the identity
of the accomplice, but they have
very strong suspicions suspicions
that caused a fruitful search of the
interior of the jail last Wednesday,
the day after the release from jail
of George Powers, who Is alleged to
have aided Mooney In his first at
tempt to break jail.
The search of tho jail yielded four
steel saws, concealed under the
lavatory platform, and n sack of
ground glass nnd some pepper-like
substance, such as might be hurled
Into a person's eyes for the purpose
of causing temporary blindness.
Fuglmoto saw this stuff passed into
the jail, but It was Impossible for
him to see the man on the outside.
The Jap nlso Rnid that a pistol was
passed into the jail nnd then back
again.
The steel cells are so close to the
windows of the jail that It Is a very
easy matter to pass nnythlug in from
the outside. Then there are two
largo drain pipes through the walls
through which articles mny be Bhoved
Into the cells. These conditions ren
der the Jail practically unfit for the
safekeeping of prisoners, nnd every
grand jury that has Inspected the
structure for the pnst two years has
recommended tho building of a new
one. "There are a dozen places In this
jail where J could get out." Mooney
remarked this morning. His con
tempt for the jail Is shared by Sheriff
Qulne, who takes Monney's attempted
escape as the natural consequences
of conditions which he cannot reme
dy. Ho preferred to let Mooney dig
through the worthless structure to
Interrupting his work, Intending to
give him n good scare when he
gained the outer nir.

Citizens lu Muss Meeting Insist, How
ever, That common User Clause
Shall Prevail.
MARSHF1ELD, Or., Sept.- 19.
The public hearing here today by
Captain Robert, of the United States
Engineering Corps, resulted in an ex
pression of the people favoring the
bridging of Coos liny by the Southern
Pacific
The most activo person fighting
the bridge was Jacob M. Wake, of
San Francisco and formerly of this
place. Two hours were required to
read letters he hnd written and pro
tests he hud made. In some of his
communications he accuses the
Southern Pacific. of having a plot to
ruin Coos Hay by building the bridge.
Most of the protests were on the
ground that a bridge would prevent
the tidal now, cause shoals and make
navigation difficult.
A resolution was passed by tho
mass meeting that If n bridge was
allowed a common user clause must
be required. Another resolution was
passed to show that It was the sense
uf the people that the Southern Pa
cific be allowed to bridge the bay If
the War Department saw fit to grant
permission. Only one man voted
against it. Tho meeting was largely
attended.
The North Mend people made a
big demonstration, coming with two
bands nnd giving a parade In which
GOO men look part, carrying banners
which bore Inscriptions In favor of
the bridge. Tho employes of all the
mills and factories of North Rend
were given a holiday on full pay to
take part In tho demonstration.

VINDICATION OF IMXCIIOT.
(Colliers' Weekly).
When Secretary Fisher entered
the Department of tho Interior It was
practically certain bow the famous
controversy which 'centered around
the Cunningham claims would end.
The Cunningham claims have now
been declared fraudulent. Much, no
doubt. Is still to be done. Tho whole
constructive policy for Alaska Is to
be completed, nnd Secretary Sllmson
has had his water-power troubles,
being firmly upheld by the President
and foolishly opposed by some preda
tory sympathizers. Including Uncle
Joe. nnd some Democrats with anti
quated notions about state rights. In
cluding, we regret to say, Mr. I'n
ilerwood. Nevertheless, although the
fight on principles is still on, the
decision of the Cunningham claim
ends, dramatically speaking, a stir
ring episode In recent history. It
Included:
The discharge of Louis R.

nlnghnm claims had been called ab
surd by Secrelnry llnlllng-r. Secre

4. The use of that document by
the President to fool the Senate, and
his failure lo produce or mention
the document, prepared In llallliigor's

own report was closely based.

"Mr. Roosevelt's plan tfi control
