ARE EVIDENTLY ALARMED.
Callendine and Baker Afraid to Stand
Their Trials.
They Made an Attempt to Get
Out of Jail, But Were
Detected.

Several days ago Sheriff Johnson
learned from inmates of the County Jail
that L. L. Callendine and Harry Baker,
awaiting trial for the robbery of the
street car office last December, had been
at some mysterious work at the east
end of the Jail corridor.
A careful examination of the windows
revealed the fact that one bar of a win
dow opening into the outer yard adjoin-
ing the Dispensary had been sawed off
and an attempt made to cut another
one.
AS soon as this discovery was made
Sheriff Johnson separated the prisoners
and gave their cells an extra search
The saw or saws could not be found
but a piece of gaspipe was unearthed
with which it is supposed the desperate
pair intended to defend themselves if
caught in the act of trying to escape,
or else to use it on the jailer beforehand
in order to clear the way for other
criminals to get out at the same time.
Sheriff Johnson's investigation of the
affair convinced him that Callendine
and Baker had been assisted from the
outside, hence every effort was made to
keep the matter quiet in the hope of
catching the person in league with the
prisoners. A watch was kept up night
and day. but no outsider put In an ap-
pearance.
Suspicion naturally rests also on Mrs.
Callendine, who has been a frequent
visitor to the jail, but there is of course
no way to prove her connection with
the conspiracy. She has also been try
ing to get possession of the firearms
belonging to the gang, but Chief Of
Police Drew refused to give them up.
It is supposed that others Of the pris-
oners assisted Callendine and Baker in
their scheme by making considerable
noise in that end of the Jail in order to
prevent the saving from being heard.
These Understanding, singing, accord
con playing, etc.-have always been fea,-
lures of life In the JAIL and as they have
been going on for years they have at
tracted no attention beyond annoying
some of the Assessors deputies who oc-
cupy back office that adjoins the jail.
Since the discovery by the Sheriff OF
the attempt Of Callendine and Baker to
escape was made known some persons
have claimed that they suspected some
thing wrong was going on in the Jail,
but that official denies that any such
suspicious were unfolded to him. He
obtained his cue from inmates Of the
Jail There had been, he says, some
complaints about the noise made by
prisoners. but 1t was next to impossible
to prevent that
The window where the cutting of the
bars was done is hidden from the view
Of persons in the Jail corridors by a
tier of cell tanks, and being at the
farthest end Of the jail the officer on
duty could not be expected to know
what was going on at all moments. II
he approached that spot confederates
would give the operator warning.
The cuts made in the bars are scarcely
perceptible, even when one knows where
to look for them. The jail is a miser-
able excuse for one that has sometimes
to hold as many as a hundred inmates,
and the only wonder is that there are
so few escapes from it

We'll LIBEL EXAMINATION.
Supervisor MorriSOn'S Charge Against the
Grand Juryman.
Arguments to be Resumed This Morn
ing on Motion to Dismiss
the Case.

John We'll, foreman of the Grand Jury
which accused the members of the
Board of Supervisors of having received
money for appointing DR.. c. B. Nichols
to the position of City Physician, was
in Justice Henry's court yesterday for
examination on the charge of criminal
libel brought by J. NJ Morrison, Pres
ident of the board. The prosecution
was represented by District Attorney
Ryan, assisted by Charles 7. Jones and
r. T. Devhn as special counsel. Hiram
W. and Albert M. Johnson appeared for
the defense.
The first proceeding ON the part of the
prosecution was an offer to identify, by
Deputy County Clerk Wachhorst, the
report of the Grand Jury containing the
accusation ON which the charge of libel
IS based.
To this the defense objected on the
ground that the report was a privileged
publication, but the court reserved its
decision on that point.
Supervisor Morrison was then called
to testify. He said the relations be-
tween Foreman We'll and himself had
not been of friendly character for
several years-not since they were mem
ers (under the old charter), when We'll
resigned from that body because of
certain disagreements with the witness.
To the question had there been any
threats made against him (Morrlson),
the witness replied that there had been,
while the Grand Jury was in session,
but not in his presence. He had wit
nesses, however, who could testify on
that point
Referring to the alleged Nichols brib-
cry, Mr.. Morrison said that when he
heard DR.. Nichols was about to leave
| the city he went before the Grand Jury
and asked to have the accusations taken
up at once, that DR.. Nichols might be
examined, but Foreman Well told him
the Grand Jury would attend to that
matter.
Mr.. Jones then announced that the
prosecution had concluded it's case.
H. w. Johnson said the brevity Of the
prosecution was a surprise to the de-
Tense. They had not attempted to prove
the falsity Of the report, and he there
fore moved for the discharge of the de-
PENDANT.
Mr.. Jones replied that this was the
first time, in all his experience with
cases of that character, he had ever
heard of the prosecution being called on
to prove a negative proposition. It was
for the defense to substantiate the &C
| cusation on which the charge of libel
was based. In this matter the Grand
Jury had gone outside Of it's duties
they should either find indictments Or
ignore the matters altogether.
Mr.. Johnson defended the action of
the Grand Jury, whose duty it is, he
said, to show up corruption wherever
1t existed, and the acts of g. Grand Juror
cannot be questioned.
The motion for discharge of the de-
| PENDANT will be further argued this
morning.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Four Water Front Characters Landed
i'm Jail.

John Carr reported at police head
quarters last night that four men, with
whom he had been drinking at Front
street saloon, had attempted TO rob
him The only reason they did not sue
coed was because he had his money too
well hidden.
He gave good descriptions Of his as
sailants, and Officers Fisher and Fftz-
gerald accompanied him to the saloon,
where he had no difficulty in pointing
out the alleged thieves.
They were arrested and landed in the
City Prison, and were a hard looking
gang. They gave the names of James
Murphy, Charles Johnson, William
Warner and Tom Coleman. They had
been employed as deck hands on one Of
the river steamers, and are said to be-
long at Stockton.
Two men besides Carr were found who
witnessed the attempted robbery.
