One afternoon recently the attention
Of Clerk Of Court c. R. Weber of Suits

thought that the noise was caused by
them at their work. The noise of the
pounding was so persistent, Of such
q likeness and continuity, however,
that Mr.. Weber was prompted to in
vestigate and find out what kind Of
work the carpenters could be doing
that would require that particular kind
of hammering. Coming out into the
hall. to listen to the work that the car
penters were doing to see If the noise
really was caused by them, he discov-
cred that they were not using ham,
mers at all.
Mr.. Weber then became suspicious
as to the cause of the noise and i'm
mediately suspected an attempted Jail
delivery on the part of the prisoners
confined in the cells underneath the
building. He called the attention of
Auditor Blewett to the matter and
finally spoke to Mr.. Ludwigson, the
janitor Of the building, and a partial
Investigation was made which resulted
in no discovery Of the suspected at
