NEW LEGAL POINT ARISES
BY WOMAN CARRYING MONEY
Court Orders Mrs. w. s. Bryan to Pay
S1O,SOO. Which She Has Kept on
Person for Some Time.

Circuit Judge Ferriss made an order yes
terday directing Mamie NJ. Bryan. wife of
W. S. Bryan. to pay into court by 10 a. m.
Monday s1O.s00. which she has been carry
ing with her for some time.
The order was made on the application
o. former Judge S. P. Spencer. represent
ing the Chicago Herald Company. Judg-
ment was given in Judge Farris's Court
last Thursday against Mrs. Bryan for
$1,000. The judgment was given in aid
OF u judgment rendered in the Circuit Court
some time ago against Mrs. Bryan's hus-
band.
The litigation resulting in the judgments
grew out of a deal in which Bryan. the
Chicago Herald Company and publish
ing house We're interested. Certain notes
on which the judgments We're based fell
into the hands of Bryan. The notes were
discounted and Mrs. Bryan obtained the
money in satisfaction of claims she had
against her husband. II is stated
Mrs. Bryan stated in n deposition taken
that she was carrying the money with mer.
property cannot be taken by Sheriff from
the person of one against whom Judgment
has been rendered. The action gives rise to
a new legal point
If Mrs. Bryan fails to pay the money into
court an application may he made against
her for alleged contempt of court.

NEGRO PRISONER ESCAPES
FROM THE CITY JAIL:
Allen Miller Evades n Guard Who Is
Detailed to Watch Him and
Gets Away.

capped from the kitchen of the City Jail yes
terday afternoon, and the entire police force
of the city. assisted by Jail guards. are try
ing to apprehend him.
With Clarence Willett, a white prisoner,
Miller was sent to scrub the kitchen. Guard
Alex Brown was detailed to watch them.
Miller evaded Brown, and is believed to
have gone to the cellar under the kitchen
and then out a door under the main stair
way of the Four Courts leading from the
Clark avenue entrance.
Whether Miller went up the steps from
the basement TO the main rotunda or passed
through the Central District assemby-room
rot believed. however, that he would have
gone up to the main rotunda. as the Jail
entrance is at the head of the stairway.
Willett made no effort TO escape. Miller
had ample time before Guard Brown dis
covered that he had gone TO make good his
escape.
1t has long been the custom to use pris-
in the Jail. Much attention must be paid to
cleanliness. and for years the jailers have
employed what are known as ''trt,sties'' to
do the scrubbing wash blankets and clean
the mattresses. Several other have es-
capped in the same manner under other

does not condone the present case.
