Grim made an examination of his

tleman had on his person a num-
Der of fine steel saws, which had
no doubt been furnished to him
by some person or persons in this
city for the purpose of saving
the bars out of his cell so he could
escape. The man is supposed to
be a regular tramp and hobo. He
had no money, nor had he any
chance to buy saws, so he must
have had them furnished to him
by some one interested in his es-

call a halt on the open and fla

tainly need a new prosecuting

are found. Witnesses are not sum-
