Daring Attempt at JAIN Delivery.

A most daring attempt at Jail deliv-
cry was discovered at Kalamazoo on
the I'd. The prisoners in the cage had
literally torn it to pieces and were
awaiting a chance for suitable OPP
portunity TO escape. BY means OF
wrenches and saws the big iron bar
that releases the door to the cell and
other bars had been loosened and fas-
tened up with wires. The large steel
hinge three inches wide, had been
pried and broken by use of one OF the
big steel bars previously loosened. The
prisoners had the cage SO well wrecked
that when the suitable time arrived
they could, by loosening a few small
wires, open the cage and walk out.
Then they would have very quickly
made their escape from the interior of
the Jail by means of the iron bars The
men in the cage were Larry Spellman,
awaiting trial for the Richland bank
robbery; Holsinger, sentenced last
week to Jackson for burglary; John
Thompson, alleged horse thief, and
Frank Webb, charged with trying to
get books containing saws and files to
