Newport News. Va, Feb. fS.-(Spe-
cial)-A concerted effort was made by
the felons in the city jail to free them
selves this afternoon. Five convicted
felons. who only await the arrival of
officers from the State prison TO take
them thence, and several charged with
felonies and awaiting trial, united their
energies to break Jail. Tho felons
wrought away behind the grating which
protects the outer wall of tho prison
and begun work which would have in
Il few minutes time undermined the
wall and made escape for all possible
Some very dangerous characters are
imprisoned in this part of the Jail and
it is feared by the authorities that the
prison IS too weak to hold them until
the order book is signed by Judge Bar
ham, which cannot be done until the
HustinSS Court is adjourned for this
term. There will be no court held until
Friday. The order book Will probably
be signed Saturday. This gives these
dangerous felons n whole week in
which to concoct plans and operate upon
the insecure walls CT the city Jail. But
for the timely arrival of an officer who
