DEPUTY- SHIBROUK IN CELL
IN EFFORT TO MAKE ESCAPE
Cleverly Planned Scheme Fails to Secure Release
Because of Foresight in Keeping Guard at
Main Door of Cage Hudson
May Be Deported.
Leo Duncan and George Hudson,
the two prisoners who have been
giving the county officers a great
oVul of trouble by their attempts
to escape from the county jail, fail
ed this morning to execute another
well planned and cleverly staged
effort to secure thelr'liberty. Dep
uty Sheriff Shambrook was lured
into the cell by a clever ruse, and
was locked In one of the cages by
Hudson, and only the fact that
Deputy Sewell saw through the
plan, and kept the outer door un
der guard, falling to go to Sham
1) rook's aid, as the prisoners evi
dently thought he would, saved an
other jail delivery.
Since Duncan's escape several
- weeks ago, and his later attempt
at sawing his way through the bars.
It has been the practice of the of
ficers never to allow one man to
enter the jail alone.
Duncan's first escape was made
by attacking Deputy Sheriff Se
well, slugging him with an impro
vised sap, and getting away into
the hills where he was at large for
three days. He returned to Rose
burg and robbed the Penney store,
and Mrs. Steele's home on South
Main otreet, and was later appre
hended in Umpqua Park addition.
George Hudson, who was con
fined on a moomhlning charge,
aided Duncan In another attempt.
It fs claimed by slipping him eight
bucksaw blades, a can of pepper,
rind a flashlight. Since that time
Duncan and Hudson have been
kept in close confinement.
This morning Deputy Sheriff
pham brook entered the main cage,
while Mr. Sewell remained at the
aulr door. Inside the main rage
there is another large cell, which
contains a corridor and three small
Individual cells. At night Duncan
Is kept locked In one of these
small cells, and Is denied the use
of the corridor. Hudson, however,
has been allowed out in the corri
dor. Wtun Shambrook went Into the
cage Hudson said that something
was wrong in Duncan's eel and
that he feared the prisoner had
killed himself. He said that there
was blond on the floor, and that
he cnlb d to Duncan and had been
tillable to get a response.
Mr. Shambrook went back to the
sheriffs office after a flashlight
and then entered the corridor,
wh re he saw a pool of blood in
front of Dun con's cell. He un
locked the door, but as he did so,
noticed that there was a dummy
on the bed, and also that there was
a towel hanging on the grating. He
Immdintely thourht that perhaps
Duncan hrtM agalr tried- to saw
through the bars, and reached up
to pull down the towel. As he did
so the cell door was slammed shut
behind him. and locked.
The prisoners evidently had ex
pected that both of the officers
would enter the cell to Investigate
the faked suicide, and that both
could be locked up. When only one
entered, thev still apparently
ihcu?ht that Sewell would come to
Shamhrook's aid. and that they
could then, bv their combined ef
forts force him Into another cell
nnd could take their time In escap
ing. Mr.. Sewell. however, stood
bv the door, and kept Uiem confin
ed, so after Hudson saw the ruse
had failed be called to Duncan who
came walking from an adjoining
cell where he had been In hiding.
Hudson, It was learned had fash
ioned a kev from a suspender
burkle, and had unlocked the pad
lock on Duncan's cell door. The
Improvised key was found by the
officers. Duncan has been out In
the corridor for the past three
nlrhts. It was admitted.
They trumped up the plan of
lurlnr the officer Into the cell.
and It would probably have worked
nicely, except for the failure of
Mr. Sewell to be enticed into-the
trap. After placing the dummy
skiirully in his bed, Duncan took
up his position in one of the other
cells, "where he would have been
able to have slipped up behind
the officers, and he and Hudson
would have easily been able to lock
both of the officers into the cell.
The blood on the floor apparent
ly came from d cut on Duncan's
hand, and proved a decided advan
tage In their scheme.
The officers have exercised ev
ery care in dealing with the two
men, as both are ex-convicts, and
determined to make their escape.
No officer ever enters the cell
alone, nothing metallic is allowed
either of the prisoners, and their
bedding Is changed every few days,
while a dally search Is made of
their cells and the cage.
Hudson, who was confined on a
minor charge, has proven to be the
more troublesome of the two. Dun
can although desperate and willing
to take any kind of a chance causes
the officers little trouble than the
necessity of careful watching. Hud
son on the other hand is surly, sour
tempered, abusive, and continually
finding fault.
He Jg a British subject, and has
never attempted naturalization and
as a result will probably be deport
ed. He was confined to the Wash
ington state penitentiary for one
year for moonshining, and was ar
rested on a similar charge here re
cently. He was found residing In a
tent near the foot of Washington
St, and a large quantity of beer and
wine was confiscated.
Shortly following his arrest, he
slipped away while working In the
court house yard as a trusty, and
went to his tent where he secured
several hacksaw blades, and some
pepper, and a small flashlight,
which he slipped to Duncan. Of
ficers discovered Duncan's attempt
to saw out and secured the hack
saw blades and other articles, and
immediately connected Hudson up
with the effort to escape, evidence
found In his cell linking perfectly
with that found In Duncan's cage.
Hudson was Immediately placed in
close confinement with Duncan,
charged with aiding a prisoner to
escape, a crime carrying with It the
same penalty as the crime of the
prisoner aided.
District Attorney Cordon stated
today that Hudson will be taken be
fore the grand jury and In the
I event of conviction, will be sen
j fenced, and efforts will then prob
I ably be made to secure his deporta
ttion. '
I Duncan Is held for the robbery of
j several Roseburg stores. He Is al-
leged to have robbed tour stores
.early In April. He went to Coos
I Bav, where he was Implicated In
j several more robberies, and was f I
inally arrested at Mnrshfleld. He
jwas brought to Roseburg, and a few
I davs later escaoed Into the hills,
but douhled back, and performed 3
jand probably more robberies. He
! previously served one year on a
I forcery charge from Multnomah
'county.

NEW YORK, May 18 Internal
troubles are proving handicaps to
coast guardsmen blockading New
' Kork's rum row. Six members of
ithe coast guard have been court
(martlaled for smuggling liquor and
; three for intoxication, it was re
vealed today.
Officers have refused to discuss
; the affair, but it Is known that
nineteen men have been confined
for varying periods In the prisons
'of Staten Island, awaiting court
j martial, for various offenses.
! Six convicted of smuggling have
1 ben sentenced to six months im
prisonment and three got three
, months each for intoxication,
j A far greater hundicap Is the
prospect of a shortage of men in
the fleet. Fully 30 per cent, It Is
said, will not re-enlist when their
service terminates July 1. Condi
tions on the coast guard ships call
tor unusually hard work and only
brief shore leaves- These are suf
ficient to Induce the guardsmen to
seek other occupations.
The coast guard has found In the

a foer which is all but. Invincible
! Because of its vastly superior
speed, the Cigarette outdistances
ithe fastest of the dry navy's fleet,
