A BREAK FOE LIBERTY.
Eugene Bean, who was this morning
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment by
Judge Skater, attempted to escape about
1l:30 O'Clock, while being transferred from
the prison-yaa TO his cell in the County
Jail. Bean last Christmas evening with a
companion entered the house of lady IN
South San Francisco, and while one COW
cred her with a pistol, the other went
through the room, securing 81 600 in coin
and quantity of iewelry. He was not
captured until some months later. Satur-
day he pleaded guilty of robbery, and threw
himself on the mercy of the Court. On
this account and also because it was his
first offeuse, he only received q ten-year
sentence instead of life penalty, which he
would have probably otherwise received.
After receiving his sentence he was hand
cuffed to Berismin F. Davis, who is wait
ing trial for wife murder, and placed in the
van. During his trip down, Bean ascer-
tanned that he could with little effort slip
the iron cuff from his wrist. So, when he
got out of the van and the attention of
Winkler, the Tan-driver, was diverted, he
slipped his hand out of the cuff and started
on dead run toward Montgomery avenue.
Turning tee corner, he slipped I'd fell,
slightly sp-aining his hip. This fall gave
Winkler, who was in hot pursuit, an op.
portunity OF catching up with him, and be
soon had aim locked up in the cell. Davis,
who was locked to him at the time of the
escspe, made no move to get away.
