JAIL BREAKER CAUGHT
| After an absence of a month and
half, Francisco Lopez, the Porto Rican
prisoner, who holds the record for jail
| breaking, was caught in Olaa last We'd
nesday night and finds himself again an
inmate of Sheriff Andrews boarding
| house. This makes the seventh escape
and capture of Lopez and the Sheriff's
patience is about exhausted in his eff
forts to keep his star boarder contented
in his quarters in the Hilo Jail. Only
after a desperate struggle with four
men was the willy Porto Rican overpow-
cred and tied to await the arrival of
the police. From the numerous knives
found on MS person, Lopez was little
less than a walking arsenal. An inven-
tory of his possessions disclosed three
carving knives, one cane knife, a small
pocket knife and tin fife. A firearm
was the only thing lacking, and the de-
sire for this led to his downfall. Lopez
at the time of his escape was serving
three sentences, one for ARRAY. one for
escaping Jail on a former occasion and
one for carrying concealed weapons.
The $50 reward was promptly paid by
Sheriff Andrews to his captors.
Lopez was first arrested and sentenc-
ed on July 80 1901, three years ago.
since which time, except for occasional
breaks for liberty, he has been an in
mate of the HiIo jail. Sheriff Andrews
has determined that Jailor Henry shall
have an opportunity to try his hand
with the slippery convict and ships the
gentleman this morning to Honolulu.
