TAKEN BY MAN WHO SHOT HIM I'lisoner is An Ksenped Convict and Boldest of Had Characters Officers Show lteilef al His lcmrture. I ' Sheriff Quine and all other local ofTicers registered the first signs of relief felt in several days this morn- j ing, when on the early train bound ' for Kalama, Wash., the automobile j ibief, desperado and escaped convict, ' whose traveling names consist of Harry Sapp, Itoy Meyers and lioy j Howard, was surrendered from local confinement in the county jail to ; Deputy Sheriff J. A. Carter, the Ka-; lama officer who only a few months' ago shot the prisoner twice in the legs bct'oiv ra.ituriiiK him. It was; while recovering from these wounds j that he escaped from the hospital al Vancouver, picking the loclts from I his shackles with a safety pin from bis bandages. j A closer guard und attention had! never been given to any prisoner in ( tbe local jail, according to those con nected with the shei ill's office. Each ; day since his confinement late last j week new information has come to j the custodians or the prisoner telling ; of some additional crime or escape I he had committed in the last lew months. The record as learned by j the officers here during his brief; Slav reads more like a melodrama i than' the experiences of real life. No , ., ..:,,..,., .,ni,iiu ! were slolon in malting nis way irom Seattle to Ilornbrook, Cal., where he was arrested. His three escapes are hair-raising and thrilling in charac ter and leave the officers to expect anything in the way of seizing an op portunity to gain freedom again. He declared his one mistake in the local jail was in not concealing the file which he successfully carried into the building immediately upon his incarceration. The file was over looked in the three separate searches made of his person and was found only upon a more thorough examina tion inatie by Sheriff IJuine some time alter ho had been locked up. His last words to the local offi cers this morning were: "I will be . free before they get me to Kalama." j He was made as secure as it Is pos- . sible by means of handculfs and i chains, but it is feared that one mo- i ment of relaxed vigilance will afford the opportunity desired by tho crim inal. It is said he can pick the locks that hold lilm as fast as they can be put on, if be can secure a pin or other line instrument. What action will be taken follow ing his return to Kalama is not yet determined, according to the officer who accompanied him. His recogni tion there as an escaped convict from Ihe Walla Walla state peniten tiary resulted in his recent shooting, although he is wanted there also for a enr stolen in that vicinity shortly before. According to Mr. Carter, he shot at the prisoner live times be fore he Anally captured him, and when a shot In one leg failed to stop him he was compelled to shoot him In the other leg. At the Van couver hospital, be said, the prisoner had picked the locks that chained lii in to tho bed posts in five minutes after he was taken there, lie wailed for several days, however, before he removed them, in order to allow his ; wounds to heal sulf icienlly to get awav. He escaped from the Institu tion' with only his niehl robes, but bv plying his criminal devices, ob tained clothing and later stole an automobile from the city and reached Portland. Here he obtained tbe car thai was found abandoned about a week ago in front or the city hall in this city. Leaving here, he went lo Olendale. where he took the r-tr that led to his arrest at lloin bt.iok. Cal. His most thiiUing experience is said to have been all escape from the oliicers at Kelso prior lo his adv tit ai Kalama. He was in a stolen car at tbi tiiii". and un seeing he was about to be taken by tbe pursuing oliicers be jumped Willi a lady who was riiling with him from the mov ing car and allowed the machine to plunge ovi r a bluff. Aflrf the offi cers had passed they continued on tlnir way. When he was cornered later by t he Kalama officials he heaved a li.iiiiu;i r from his machine and knocked the hat from the head of one of his pursuers. He diil not I f.vn up then, until he was shot in belli legti. In addition to these wounds, still not fully healed, the prisoner is said to show tile scars of other shots re r.Mvci about six weeks ago.
