Lee Duncan, alias R. . Har per, who escaped Tuesday from the county jail after slugging De puty Sheriff George Sewell, dou bled back Into ltoseburg last night, robbed the Montgomery machine shop for the second time, procuring a hacksaw, with which he secured an entrance Into the J. C Penney store, where he ob tained complete outfits of cloth ing, suitcases, shoes, efc, and made his escape. He Is also be lieved to have entered the tele phone exchange, but was appar ently frightened away from that pluce. At the Penney store ho remov ed all or his old clothing, and apparently donned a complete new outfit, and left his discarded apparel. Officers found the cloth ing which he waa weuring at the time of his escape from the coun ty Jail, tire overcoat stolen from the Fisher place, and a pair of pliers said to be the property of W. G. Paul of South Deer Creek, where Duncan Is thought to have slept Wednesday night, and with which the telephone wires at that place were clipped. Following his escape irom tne county Jail, after slugging the deputy sheriff, Duncan fled tip Deer Creek to the I. O. O. F. cemetery, crossed the county road and went south over the hills to Glengary, where he crossed to the Roberts Creek dlv'de, spend ing Tuesday night In the vicinity of the Fisher place. He obtained food thwe Wednesday morning, and stole an' army overcoat. He had nnrrowly avoided the officers Tuesday and realized, evi dently that they had picked up h's trail, so he doubled back, ana on Wednesday worked bnck to South Deer Creek, spending the night In an old cabin on the W. O. Paul place. .Thursday morning he visited th W. G. Paul place, where It Is believed he again obtained food, and there he stole a pair of pliers and cut the telephone wires. He was seen later In the day crossing the field near the French place. It Is evident that he came west over the hills, and slipped Into town late last night. Early In the month he hul robbed the Montgomery machine stiop, and had obtained guns there, toiiether with a rope and other articles, which be ued In the subseouent robberies at the Economy Grocery. Imper al Clean ers and Wilder and Agee's. Before these robberies he had evidently made a careful study of the various business houses of ltoseburg. and doubtless had the Penney store In mind as one of the place to be robbed. Having the details of the ar rangement of the store In mind, he apparently decided that It would be the best plnce for a robbmry last night, and so went to the machine shop aga'n, where I he obtained a hacksaw and a piece of wire.

A detective rerncnli ed him as Oregon Jones, so Jones gave the detective the diamond and Ihe mnnev to turn him loose. Jones acquired this loot, he said, while working as a truck driver I for a firm of Interior decorators, this to the suitcase and handbag and used it to raise them through the skylight, after he had made his own exit by going over the transom of the front entrance. Before taking his departure, ti thoroughly cleaned up the disor der he had mado, and except for burned matches on the floor. It might have taken the clerks con siderable time to have discovered tho robbery. His discarded cloth ing he dumped into one of the trunks kept In stock at the store, and these articles were found this morning. The whipcord trousers worn at the time of his escape, were badly dorn apparently In hla scramble over fences during hla tr p through the hills. He dis carded his wet socks on Tuesday night, at the cabin near the Fi sher place, and as a substitute had cut the lower part of the legs from a ault of underwear, and by fastening tire ends had. a very serviceable pair of stockings. He also left the old army overcoat which was taken from the Fisher place, as well as the pliers belonging to Mr. Paul. Some persons last night jim mied the door at the rear ot the telephone exchange, but evidently was frightened away by the voi ces of the operators. It Is thought possibss that be waa trying to find the rear entrance of the Skaggs grocery, two doors north, in an efrort to find food, and that . he blundered Into the wrong building. . . Fred Lockwood reported this morning that he believes a man seen by him last night about 11 o'clock near tire corner of Pine and Mosher streets, was Duncan. The man was wearing au over coat and small black hat, similar to the ones, found discarded at the Penney store, but at the time of aeeing the man, Mr. Lockwood thought little about It and only recalled seeing the suspicious character after learning of the ronberiea this morning. Duncan's tactics have the offi cers baffled, and they are com pletely at a loss as to the me thods of effecting h's capture. It Is possible that he will remain in hiding In the close vicinity of Roseburg for several days. He may even attempt more robberies here. He undoubtedly had con federates at the time of hla f rst visit to Roseburg, the first of the month, and also at Coos Bay. His confederates may have been guilty of the robberies at Gold Hill on Wednesday night. Officers think It possible that he will rama.n In close hiding In Roseburg un til ho can get In touch with hla comrades In crime, who evidently are travelling In an automobile. There is also the theory that he caught train number 13 out of here this morning, and a rhecclt Is being msde on that possibility. Officers are also stopping the stages and automobiles In all parts of the state, working on the theory that he may steal a car or may pick up a ride. Duncan had an assistant In rob bing the Penney store last night, according to evidence aecured this afternoon. Apparently the man tyle nnd only sngtitiy , ,, Duncan wore gloves as he these heels correspond ng , no - nrlnts. All of the i details of the. robbery Indicate Penney slore. Duncan then evidently went to the store nnd lilted off the sky light. A barred grating blocks entrnnce by this method, but the fact lhat Duncan had previously supplied hlni"elf with a hacksaw, indicated that he had previously mnd'a a study of the store and knew how to get In. W th the hacksaw he cut one of the bars and bent It sufficiently fo permit him to crawl through, and then evidently lowered himself by means of a short piece of wire. Once Inside Ihn slore ho pro ceeded to completely outfit him self from head to foot, evidently taking considerable care In se' ctinc tho be'i suits and oth" articles of clothing, and after ob talnlng a comntete equipment, and surplus, which he packed In a suit case and travelling bag taken from the slock In tho Penney store, he made a rope from a pair of overalls and some strong -IMcon tape, snd evidently t'ed the work of two men, the theory be'ng heightened by the state ment of Mrs. I.
