He at once put the prisoners in
side the main jail, and they will
be allowed to come out in the
corridor now during taking meals
only, and then they will be under
surveillance.
Brown had taken some bed
clothes out of the cell and ar
ranged them so that the noise of
falling brick would be smother-1
ed. That the other prisoners
were aware of the attempt goes
without saying, because a
could .not work at the removal I
of the bricks 'without their
knowledge.
Sheriff Reeves hsd the hole
patched Friday afternoon, and it
is not improbable that he will
ask the county court' to make a I
steel lining for the interior walls
of the jail. It appears a hard
thing to keep prisoners under
chareeand not yet proven guilty,
confined in the cells all day. but
it looks as though something
must be done to make an escape
impossible.
