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.

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

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.
