The mechanics were allowed to use their own tools and so select ed a Bet of silver steel hacksaw blades, supposed to Ite t he best th1t can be procured. They also used heavy frames for the blades so that they could apply ample pressure. The first cut through one of the bars was completed m two hours and twenty minutes, while the second cut was shorter, as the bar was broken by hammer blows after beini: cut about half way throuirh at the top. Fneh wotkman cut off one sec tion within a five-hour period. While th removal of oti section was not sufficient to given an opening through which a man nilnht escape, two of them would have provided enough room, and as two bars were cut In different places sufficient evidence w as given that the bars could be cut. Wide Safety Factor WM!. the te proved that the ! metal was not of sufficient hard-, t ness, yet it also evidenced that the ; iail has a wide safety factor -o j thM for all purposes of security f it is ample for all coun'y ceas. it was stated. The mechanics' selected the very" finest hacksaw blades, for an ordinary blade would hardly scratch the surface. 'They also used heavy frames giving them j ample pressure, and both were men who thoroughly understood how to use their tools, proceeding very slowly Instead of trying to make speed, thereby making sure and siead y progress. A prisoner would, of course, not i have the hacksaw frame which ; would enable him to exert the ne j cesaary pressure, and with a blade held in his hand would not be able i to scratch the surface of the bars, j Fven if he escaped from the main cell he would still have to cut through two or more window bars. The window bars were tested and The main jail ha large cell. with walls and celling of ntep.1 plate. Adjoining this are two j small cells, each containing eight bunks, bolted to the walls. Three doors opnn into a corriiior. which is located between the cell front and the reinforced concrete wall. There are several heavily barred windows In the wall, furnishing light and air to the jail. The cor-1 ridor lias two locked doors set in the end. and the control box is lo- rated outside, ?o that the jailer con - trols the cell doors w ithout enter- lute the cage or corridor. The front of the main cage Is made of Inch and a quarter upright bars, set at four-inch Intervals in horizontal flat steel bars eight inches apart. These upright and horizontal bars are the ones sup posed to withstand the six-hour test. After the small sections had been removed they were compared with the sample submitted by the company, and were fotjnd to be of j inferior quality, although still of unusual hardness, Architect Notified The comity last night wired the architect. John Tourtellotte of Portland, who will arrive tomorrow morning to determine the extent of the variation from the specifi cations. The prison company has also been notified by Mr. Haitlett and will perhaps send a representa tive here to confer with the county. Just what action will he taken will probably depend upon the re commendation of the a rchitect. While county officials believe that the jail has ample security, yet ft Is also contended that It does not meet the specifications, which the company provided oa Its own ini tiative. If a new front Is ordered ft will hold up the completion of the jail several weeks, but if only the two bars are replaced there will be but little delay, and this time element is a valuable factor as the new jail Is badly needed, the present Thp npw Ja hafl a iroxlnmte nM of 8 " b- " -P " compromise i . lievlng that the safety factor Is I ample to provide security for pri- i tf ,u. - . .,. l perlence in the motion picture Industry, will probably be transferr ed to Hollywood In the near future to be associated with the new publication.
