About to Make Their Escape When
Plan Was Discovered.
Only by the merest chance was a
contemplated Jail delivery discovered
Monday morning by Sheriff Mafrett
who was making his rounds in the
corridor of the building as is his US
ual custom when he has anyone under
his charge.
The morning in question he was
passing along the walls of the corri-
dor when his hand came in contact
with one of the windows over which
is located a transom and finding some
foreign substance adhering to it he
upon closer inspection found that the
prisoners had succeeded in splitting
the heavy oak plank into which the
gratings enter and with another
hours work the entire sash with the
bars and glass alta ched could haYe
been lifted out bodily, thus making
an opening sufficient to admit their
bodies.
The sheriff rounded the prisoners
up and is of the opinion that Will
Thrasher, who is confined upon the
charge of robbing money till at Deer
Park, was the ring leader in the af-
fair. He Immediately placed all the
prisoners in the cages of the jail and
had repairs made.
