plot 1t appears that the saws were snug
gled Into the Jail on Tuesday night, pre-
sumably by fellow named John Riley,
who was that same day released from
Serving a long term for vagrancy The
one who used them must have slipped
cut of the line as the prisoners were
returning to the cage from supper and
lodged into the open door of the dun
geon near by, which is always open save
when occupied, stayed there till all was
quiet, then crawled along the balcony
to the rear of the cage and worked on the
bars while his comrades sang and shout
ed to drown the noise of the saw. Either
this was the method employed, or else
the worker. was allowed to get out of
the tank when the cook Is aroused at
a. M, and did his work between that
hour and breakfast time. The head
trusty who has been In charge of the
gang Is also thought to be implicated
and is now sojourning in the dark CELL
along with the others.
The theory of the officers is that it had
been planned that one of the plotters was
to slip into the dungeon as the chain
gang should come in and wait there until,
time that should be favorable to his
plan. Then he would catch the taller
when he was not looking and knock hirn
down, taking the keys away from him
and unlocking the cells Of the rest of
the prisoners. They could have all then
escaped through the window of which
the bars had been sawed and slip down
in the rear of the jail, and escape with
out attracting attention.
The fellow Riley, who is suspected CT
having conveyed the saws into jail, is
an old hand at such tricks. When he
was arrested by Deputy Cons! able Muz-
nem1 several months ago. on being
searched at the station fine saw was
found concealed in the edge of his coat
lapel, where it had been carefully sewed.
That he had purposely made it a point
to be arrested for begging that he might
by that means carry the saw into jail
is shown by the fact that he had only
been out two days, after serving a SEN
tence, when he was again brought in
loaded to get out and take others with
him. He had only just got out again
when the saws were smuggled in
This is the second attempt which has
been discovered by prisoners to break
Jail in the new quarters. On Thanks
giving night last Jailer Richardson
found saw, with handle and all COM
plete for rapid use, in one of the cells,
and at the same time discovered that the
prisoners had been so sure of escape
that number already had their clothes
packed up ready to move at moment s
notice. That they were unsuccessful
is due entirely to the close watch that
is kept. Just at present the officers say
they have never had so hard a gang of
thieves and thugs in the jail, and they
go about constantly on the alert for
some overt move, for many of the pris-
oners are desperate enough to commit
murder should they thereby see chance
of facilitating escape A close investi-
CATION is being made into the latest
scheme and the ringleaders will un-
doubtedly be brought into court to
stand trial for their offense and receive
a good sentence to think it all over on
how they didn't get out.

is AFTER NOTORIETY
THIS MAY ACCOUNT FOR MRS
sCWARTZLER'S ASSERTIONS
Ex-Marshal Gard Denies That She
Ever Told Him That She Saw
Gibson With Miss Williams

Mrs. Margaret Scwartzler of San
FRANCISCO stated a few days ago that she
was on the ferryboat running between
Alameda and San Francisco on the 18th
of April 1895, and that she saw Minnie
Williams on the boat in company with
Rev. George Gibson. This is the same
Gay upon which Miss Williams is sup
posed to have been murdered by Dur
rant. Mrs. Scwartzler stated that she
had told ex-Marshal Geo. E. Gard, who
y as then at the head of the San Francisco
detective agency, of what she had seen
in November of the same year. She
claimed that she had never mentioned
the matter to any one else until few
days ago.
Marshal Gard is at present at the
head of detective agency in this city.
He declares that the statements made
by Mrs. Scwartzler, so far as he is con-
cerned, are absolutely false. He said
that the woman did come to him once
and say that she believed that she was
on the same boat as Minnie Williams on
the day the unfortunate girl was killed,
but no reference was made to Rev.
Gibson.
He did not place any credence in what
she said, as she had attempted to impose
upon him once before. when she came to
him and claimed she knew all about the
circumstances of a hold-up, in which she
claimed that Lena Marshall, who lived
in the South side of San Francisco, had
been robbed. Investigation showed that
the robbery had never taken place. and
the story had been told out Of desire
to gain notoriety. Gard thinks that her
present attempt to malign the Rev. Glib
son is done for the same purpose

An Interesting Law case.

When the Erie, Pa, firm foreclosed np-
on H. NJ. Miles arteslan well outfits there
was due the latter from the county GER
tain sums OF money, upon which Miles
had tloated orders upon the county. In
the foreclosure proceedings the court
held that the Erie firms claim was not
only superior to these orders but that the
contracts between the county hoard and
Miles were invalid. Upon these grounds
the commissioners refused to issue more
warrants to Miles. One Of these orders,
to the amount Of $3.50, was held by Myer
Winter OF Chamberlain.
Three members Of the board, Stuart,
Scales and Hoover, sitting in session at
the January meeting, issued a warrant
for $3.50 to Sylvan Winter on Miles, ac-
count. After Richards, Trille and Lowe
