JAIL DELIVERY LOSES COUNTY ONE PRISONER STEVENS QUITS CELL AT MIDNIGHT OTHERS STAY IN BEDS IlefuM- Invitation to Accompany Con fessed Assailant of Ileni) Women anil Girls Fugitive Planned to Leave City On Handcar. Robert Stevens, confessed assail ant of Bend women and girls, ef fected his escape from tho Deschutes county Jail here last night, prying open the Imperfectly 'fastened door of the main cell, then squeezing bis body through the aperture which be enlarged between one ot the window bars and the concrete edge of a win dow In the outer wall. To climb the twelve foot stockade surrounding the jail was the last move needed in gain ing his freedom. Three prisoners sharing the main cell with Stevens refused to join him In tho Jail delivery. A. J. Weston, awaiting his second trial on the charge of second degree murder of R. H. Krug of Sisters, J. J. McCarthy who yesterday pleaded guilty In cir cuity court to a charge of forgery, and Henry Anderson serving a five months sentence for moonshlning, were In their beds this morning when Jailer Beers discovered that bis charges were one less in number. Asked Cell Mates to Join That Stevens had planned his es cape for some time was made known today when prisoners reported that he had on more than one occasion made his boast that he could leave the jail in 15 minutes. Yesterday afternoon, according to Anderson, Stevens had rolled up a bundle of bedding and clothing. The actual escape occurred about midnight, Weston said. Prisoners agreed that had anyone been in the vicinity of the Jail the noise made by Stevens in opening the cell door and in tear ing out part of the concrete wall to permit him to leave the building. could not have failed to attract at tention. At the last minute, Stevens appar ently weakened, McCarthy reported, apparently fearing to leave alone. "I know just where we can go," McCar thy quoted Stevens as saying. "We'll go to the tracks and get a handcar. and there won't be any pumping be cause it's all down hill." Curs Are Searched None ot the prisoners was willing to take advantage of the opportun ity, and finally Stevens called, "Well, if you don't want to go, I'm going. Good-bye," then made his exit. vAn iron bar unbolted from a lava tory fixture was used in prying open the door, and this, with a timber found in the outside corridor, was used in pushing out concrete and in loosening the window sill. An old saw which Stevens had In some way obtained, was used with little effect. Deputy Sheriffs George Stokoe and Tom Terrlll were detailed for the search this morning by Sheriff Roberts. No freight went out last night, and the officers were going through all cars In the yards. No trace ot Stevens' whereabouts bad been found up to late this afternoon. Brother to Help Hunt The exploits ot Stevens In this vic inity furnished one of the sensations ot the year, lasting over a period of several weeks, and causing wom en to fear to leave their homes un escorted. Two brothers of Stevens residing in Bend questioned by the sheriff, stated that they had known nothing of the plans for escape, and did not know of Stevens' present where abouts. One promised to report at once if he should learn his brother's hiding place, declaring his belief that the fugitive is sater in jail than out.
