of the men charged with holding up the
Southern Pacific east. bound overland train
some weeks ago near Maricopa station and
now confined in the Jail pending the hear
ing of indictments found by the grand
jury OF Pinul county, made a daring and
almost successful attempt to escape today.
He had removed all but one layer OF brick
from the wa when his opera, ions were dis
coved by the jailors. Rogers would have
made his escape if he had had 10 minutes
more. Once outside the walls, his capture
would have been no easy matter, for 1t is
positively known that others implicated In
the Marlcopi tram robbery were near at
hand to help him.
KID" Thomp, son, whom the Southern
Pacific detectives are working day and night
to capture. is thought to be in this vicinity.
