Three Noted Bur glars Nearly
Escape from the
County Jail.

An attempt at jail breaking which was
made by Charles Brooks, Charles Rayner
and James Westcott just before they
were taken to State Prison, has just been
discovered. They are all burglars.
Brooks is the man who attempted to
break into Hunts hardware store. Ray
ner and Westcott entered a saloon on
the Hill and burglars tools were found
under the window which they had forced.
They were sentenced week ago Thurs
day, Brooks getting three years and a
half, and Rayner and Westcott six years
and a half. They attempted to escape
through the bath room, that is they had
made preparations by saving three iron
bars which protect the window near the
ceiling of the bath room. They evident
ly did not have sufficient time to com
plete their plans, as they were taken
away somewhat prematurely.
Deputy Keeper Terence Sullivan, VINO
has charge of the cells In which the
prisoners were confined, was away two
days last week attending the funeral of
his sister. When he returned on Thurs
day he found fine steel saw concealed
behind the bathtub in the toilet ROOM
He notified Warden Lennon, and a thor
ough search was made. Two more small
saws were found in the cells which had
been occupied by the prisoners, and
patent bracket which can be used as a
handle for the saws was found in the
ventilator. Three of the bars at the
bath room had been sawed through at
the bottom. and could have easily been
removed.
Keeper Sullivan climbed up and took
hold of one of the bars to steady himself.
He did not know that it had been sawed,
but he. quickly discovered it, The bar
