SACRAMENTO, April 2L-Sheriff
David Reese is convinced that the four
Folsom convicts now confined in the
County Jail are planning to escape, and
he has redoubled his watchfulness. The
wickets on their iron cell doors have
not be permitted to have any further
communication with one another.
This morning Night Jailer Timothy
Haggerty found in front of the cell of
William Leverone, one of the retaken
Folsom prison escapes, a small bundle
of newspapers. A long string attached
to the bundle led to Leverone's cell.
and Haggerty at once realized that
Leverone had been trying TO swing the
papers over to the cell Of Harry Ed
ridge, another of the Folsom escapes,
likewise under charge of murder.
Haggerty opened the bundle and
found inclosed letter addressed to
Eldridge and written by Leverone, who
signed himself by his nickname,
Slim" In the letter, in the vernacular
familiar to convicts, Leverone assured
Eldridge that if the friends of Joseph
Roberts. another of the escapes, are to
be relied upon they were all in a fair
way to escape. He said it would be an
easy matter to secure Haggerty In
passing the corridor by a wire lasso
and take his keys and revolver away
from him through the wicket. He as
sured Eldridge that the same device
had worked well in the East recently
in the case of a train robber.
Sheriff Reese said tonight that the
fellow convicts of Roberts at Folsom
had raised a fund with which to save
him from the gallows, and that the
other convicts confined in the County
Jail here, Andrew Meyers, William
Leverone, Harry Eldridge and Joseph
Murphy, have counted on the assist
ance of Roberts friends to enable them
to escape from the County Jail before
their return to the Folsom peniten-
tiary.

CHICAGO, April 21.-That he has

made by John Dings against Julia NJ.
Dings, a wealthy resident of Highland

declares, he has fallen to the position
of day laborer, working for $f35 a

obtain legal separation.
Dings further asserts that, besides
being harassed by summonses, divorce
bills and cross bills, he has been hu-
inflated by detectives. Two divorce
bills are now pending against him. He
says he was obliged to sell his home
to defend the divorce suits.
His affidavit declares that his wife
is endeavoring to cut off his dover
right to her property and is transfer

a Blickensdoerfer machine. When aues-
toned further, Dimond admitted that
he had owned typewriter of this
make, but left it in Washington, while
of the letters, six in number, five had
been mailed in this city between Au-
gust and December last One of these
letters had been destroyed as soon as

contained the names of two women, one
dead, the other living. 1T connected

Heney of the names in question. The
matter was dropped, and Dimond next
handed Heney one of the letters that
he had kept, saying it was the last but
one he received, and that it had been
slipped under his office door late in
December. This letter was the one
shown to Hyde at Felton's suggestion.
1t was read in evidence with another
received by mail on August Is as the

three of the six anonymous letters, the

three if they could be found.
