Monday morning Verdugo, the rob Der and murderer, broke jail.

Now when Verdugo took ihe keys from Pellon, he no doubt kept the pass key to the court house offices. which would enable him to enter the assessors office. The desperate char acter of the man and his notorious reputation as a robber would make it reasonable to uppose that Verdugo was the man who robbed assessor Sny- der. 1t is also reasonable to believe that Juan Jacinto. the other escaped prisone. accompanied him.
