Daring Attempt of Men
in the County Jail Is
Foiled When Jailer
'Makes Discovery ;
In Spite of Vigilance of Sheriff
and Deputies , Plan Almost
' Succeeds, and - Tools With
Which Bars Were Cut Are Not
Found. : ' ,;'
Two steel, bars, three quarters ef aa
Inch square and 10 inches long, were
sawed from a cell in ' the county jail
by prisoners in a determined effort toj
escape. The bars were discovered by
Jailer Mitchell-this morning.
- The bars had been sawed front a cell
opening Into main corridor No. 1, at the
bottom of the door of cell No. 1. This
cell had been occupied by Henry Raas
manwhowae JndJcteOaf
with "Sailor" Kelly for murder . in the
first degree. ' Rassman waa never tried.
A few days ago Jailer Mitchell found
J. H. Carmlchael, the burglar who waa
captured by R. T. Prael at his resi
dence, secreted under a bunk In Rasa
man's cell. : i.-
Since the sensational discoveries of a
plan to break out of Jail a ahort time
ago a close watch has been kepi on the
prlaonera by the sheriff and hla depu
ties. ; In spite of the vlgllanfee -of the
officers the prisoners " had succeeded in
aawlng through the two ateel bars twice
and had the dlncon nooted ptt rim of the
bars stuck tightly back In their places,
ready. to.be removed when the proper
ume came. - . . " . .,
i The discoveries made recently of tools
and plots for at Jail delivery, together
With the etartllnr discovery this morn
ing, show the' desperate determination of
some of the inmates of the Jail to ef
fect their escape. The ends of the bars
found this morning are bright and new,
showing that the work 6as been done
very recently. . .;' '-- : :t
Tools Am JTo reumd.
The fools with which the bars were
cut have not yet been found. Rassman
baa been removed to another cell. When
Carmlchael waa found under the bunk
In Rassman'a cell he waa placed alone
In the death cell and watched closely
until' he was taken to the penitentiary
two daya later to serve the six-year sen
tence imposed on 1.1m for looting Prael's
residence. .'.'" .
It was tho custom at the Jail to leave
one of the prisoners In the cells open
ing on the corridors at liberty during
the night ao ha could call assistance In
case any prisoner became lit When It
was found that they were abusing the
privilege by- secreting others In their
cells so that they could work on plans
to eacape, ine custom was stoppea ana
now each prisoner Is securely locked In
his own cell at night. -
It In believed that It waa the Intention
of the desperados to saw the bars of
the outer corridor as soon aa they had
provided a means to get out of the cell
after night Into the corridor.
