Penetrated SHREWD DISGUISE.
Prison Guard Was Interested in "a Nov.

ing Grass Plot.
Green Casey, a convict at San QUEEN
tin, has won the admiration of all his
fellow convicts at the prison for the
novel contrivance he has invented in
order to make his escape from the pris-
on walls some time ago, and through
Sheriff Langdon of Santa Clara County
the story has leaked out.
Casey was kind of trusty around
the prison grounds, and while working
in one Of the grounds In the vicinity Of
the prison he took 1t into his head that
he would like to escape, and was be-
ginning to tax his mind as to the most
advantageous way to suit his purpose.
AS he was strolling around on the green
grass which grows In abundance around
the prison an idea struck him that II
he could initiate the grass by some
tries and make good his escape.
Through the aid of his convict friends
he procured some pieces of burlap. and
with the aid of some rope made them
into long coat that would cover him
completely when lying on the grass.
He then secured some wheat from the
prison stable and sowed ii on the first
layer Of his coat. He cast it down
carelessly at one end of the prison
grounds. aud watered it daily. In
few weeks the grass grew up through
the sack coat. and before great while
