PALS SLIP SAW
ATTEMPT TO GET PERRINE OUT
OF COUNTY PRISON ONE
STICKS IN WALL
FIVE FOUND IN PRISONER'S CELL
Man Whom Bank Robber Helped Now
Plans to Return Favor But
Scheme is Nipped in
the Bud.
Virgil Perrine, who held up and
robbed the First State Bank at Mil
waukee, has confederates who are try
ing to help him escape from ''he
Clackamas county jail, where he is
he'd awaiting arraignment and trial.
This information was given out
Monday morning by Sheriff Mass, who
on Saturday night discovered that on
Saturday afternoon Richard Troy,
a'ias "Wisconsin Dick," had slipped
six steel saws into the jail to Perrine.
Troy is the yeg who was in the coun
ty jail at Salem several months ago
and obtained saws there and who con
fesed to Sheriff Esch of Marion coun
ty that Perrine had slipped the saws
to him. It is believed that Troy, who
is now at large, is returning the samfc
favor to Perrine.
Prisoner Hears Signal.
Saturday afternoon Troy entered
the women's rest room in the base
ment of the courthouse, adjoining tha
door to the jail. A prisoner named
Mprrison heard the noise and came
to the door and Troy asked for the
"Milkauk'e Kid" and at that Perrine,
who. with the other prisoners is giv
en the freedom of the corridor dur
ing the day, also came to the door
and Troy tried to slip vthe saws
through the door, which has a space
of about one-quarter inch a!l around
it. He succeeded in getting five saws
through, along with four silver dol
lars, but the sixth saw did not' go
through and was found there by Sher
iff Mass Saturday night. Mass im
mediately frisked Perrine and found
the money on tha prisoner and a
search of the jail revealed three saws
under the iron floor and two saws in
the dirt just outside of the jail win
dow. Morrison told the sheriff that Per
rine had offered him money to make
a jail break Sunday night.
The saws were all 12 inches long
and Perrine might have succeeded in
getting away had not the sheiff found
one of the saws that had stuck in the
door. The iron door opens out and
inside of it there is a heavy steel
grating that opens into the jail cor
ridor. Strict watch will hereafter be
kept to see that Perrine's confeder
ates hold no further conxmunication
' with him. - . ,
Perrine will be arraigned Tuesday
on the Indictment found after the Mil
waukie robbery.
MANY PLEAS WILL
BE ENTERED TODAY
Pleas will be entered in the circuit
court Tuesday morning under nearly
all of the indictments that were re
turned at the last session of the coun
ty grand jury.
There are a number of cases that
will come before the court at this
special term. When the persons who
have been indicted by the grand jury
are called before the court, they will
enter their pleas of guilty or not guil
ty and the date for their trial will
be set by the circuit judge. .
The grand jury returned quite a
batch of indictments at its last ses
sion here and a number of cases will
be on the docket to be disposed of at
this term and the one that is to fol

Leading Mexican Rebels Who Welcomed Breach
Between Huerta and United States Government.

The defiant attitude of Provisional President Huerta of Mexico toward the United States pleased the rebels, who
held that the widening of the breach between Huerta and this country would result in their favor. The three
rebel leaders pictured here are, left to right. General Pablo Gonzales, General Jesus Curranza, brother of Governor
Carranza. head of the constitutionalists, and Colonel Antonio Villareal. In case of armed intervention it was thought
these leaders would fight with their fellow countrymen igainst the United States troops, although they favor a break
between Huerta and Uncle Sam without resort to arms, believing in that event that the American government would
allow the free importation of arms and ammunition into Mexico and the two factions could then fight it out to the
death. :
