YIELDS PEPPER
AND SIX SAWS
Officers Frustrate Another
Attempt of Prisoner to
Make Escape.

Officers Charge Fellow
Prisoner With Aiding
Duncan by Passing
. Articles to Cell.
Another attempt of Lee Duncan
to escape from the county Jail was
frustrated this morning when of
ficers found six hacksaw blades, a
can of red pepper, and a flashlight
In his cell. George A. HudBon, a
prisoner confined for having liquor
in his possession, is accused of
having slipped these articles to
Duncan, and his case will be In
vestigated by the May grand jury
which meets on the 18th. In the
meantime Hudson Is being kept
in close confinement, and the trusty
privileges, which he has previous
ly enjoyed, have been taken from
him.
The hacksaw blades were found
carefully hidden in a comfort taken
from Duncan's bed, the flashlight
and an improvised pepper can were
in his mattress, and a bottle of pep
per was found on top of the cell.
Hudson, who Is accused of hav
ing aided Duncan, was arrested a
few days ago, when officers found
a quantity of beer and wine In his
tent on Douglas street He was
fined $200 and having no money
was committed to the county Jail
to serve out his time. He express,
ed a desire to work In the yard
and was given the privileges of a
trusty and has been busy trans
planting rose bushes, and cleaning
up the yard.
Yesterday, It Is staled, he was
not seen for a few minutes, but a
little later was back at his work.
nd officers thought nothing of the
matter. This, morning, however,
when they made their daily search
of Duncan's cell, they noticed that
a little plaster had been knocked
off above tne cage where he was
confined.
Hudson has been given a cell on
the upper floor. This section of
the Jail Is used largely for store
room purposes, and Is not securely
locked, although doorways prevent
the prisoners confined there from
reaching the lower floor w'.iere the
main cage Is situated.
Upon continuing their search, the
officers found in Hudson's cell that
some boards under an old cupboard
hart been loosened, and that this
had given a hole through which, by
breaking off a little plaster, woulil
allow a person to drop through on
top of Duncan's cell.
The top of the cage la irolch
Duncan Is a prisoner, is covered
with dust, and marks Indicated
plainly that some person had been
on top and apparently had walked
around. Lying on one of the sec
tions of grating the officers found
a small bottle filled with red pep
per, the bottle being wrapped in
paper while around the package a
wire had been twisted. This piece
of paper fitted an April 14 edition
of the News-Review found In Hud
son's cell. The piece of wire wrap
ped around the package had been
broken from a coil of wire In
the cupboard In Hudson's cell. The
cim In which the pepper had origin
ally been contained was also In
Hudson's cell, but. as It was toe
big to be passed through the small
grating, the pepper had been trans
ferred to a bottle.
Officers continued their search
but could find nothing more at that
time. However, to be safe they
took out all of Duncan's bedding,
which is all that is allowed him in
his cell, and placed In a new mat
tress and covering. A careful
search then revealed the other ar
ticles. There were six hacksaw blade,
one broken, a flashlight, and a
shaker can Improvised from a shar
ing stick container. In the bottom
of this can a number of holes had
been punched, it evidently being
the intention of the prisoner to
transfer the pepper from the bottle
to the shaker can, wliirh being
small and round was of a size
which could have been slipped
through the grating. The pepper
would have enabled Duncan to nave
temporarily blinded his Jailor and
to have made another effort to es
cape. If be had been unable to cut
his way out with the hacksaw
blades. A sharpened wire appar
ently used to make the holes In the
can. was found on Hudson's person.
Imncan laughingly remarked,
when the officers found the articles
non whtrh be was basing his hope
for an escape, that he guessed h
would have to give up escaping
until he reached the penitentiary.
Hndson, however, does not lake
the matter so lightly. He was Itn

HALIFAX. May 2. The North
Atlantic, heavily mantled with fog
and lashed by a driving easterly
wind and rain, has taken toll of
five lives, two steamers and one
three masted schooner since lust
Thursday afternoon. The crew
of one of the steamers at last re
ports, still was in imminent dan
ger. The Nova Scotia schooner
Cape D'Or went down Thursday
night three minutes after being
rammed by the steamer Clacka
mas off Sambro lightship.
Mrs. Margaret Ijeone Wilkle,
wife of the captain: including the
'captain's brother, were drowned,
j Captain Wtlkie and two other
i men were rescued. Two steamers,
the Azov, ashore on tire Southern
Cape Breton coast and the Molde
I gaard, a Norwegian boat, ashore
off Pennant Point, were expected
: to be total losses. According to
last reports, last night, both boats
were being pounded to pieces by
the high seas. The twenty five
men aboard -the Azov managed to
reach shore In their boat; but the
crew of the Moldegaard was un
able to do this and seas were
running too high to permit the
dominion government steamer
Stanley, standing by, to approach.
Hopes were held out that rescue
might be effected this morning.
Captain Ralph McIOenzle of the
fishing schooner Archie F. Mc
Kenzle. reported late last night
that about eight miles south of
the Liverpool automatic buoy he
had sighed what he believed to
be a schooner of about 300 tons
bottom up and drifting shore
ward. This however, is believed
to be the wreckage of the Cape
D'Or, as no other vessels have
been reported in d tress.
The Moldegaard was sighted by
the Stanley early today off Shutin
Island east of the entrance of
Halifax Harbor. A wireless mes
sage to the department of marine
and fisheries stated that a life-
! boat from the government stea
mer was rescuing the crew of the
Norwegian boat.

SACRAMENTO. Cal.. May 2. Governor Richardson today issued
a statement declaring that the crimes of Joe Tanko and Floyd Hall,

lesson to "sob sisters" whose influence caused the San Mateo county
jury to give the slayers of the city marshal of Sun Bruno life Imprison,

The governors starement issued in connection with his official
announcement of 50O reward offered by him for the capture of Hall

In the clouds, travelling slowly
eastward were sighted about
noon near Senrcy, Ark., about
375 miles from the starting point.
Honeywell and Thadn refused
to Inflate their balloons with the
