Prisoners, Aided by COnfederateS on the Outside,
Carry Out Plans Without a aHitCh-- FugitiveS
Leave Jail Vide Open

Warren Kemp and Frank Smith,
alias Rush, two prisoners awaiting
trial on the charge of burglarizing a
room in the Commercial hotel, made
a successful break from the city jail
some time after IL o'clock last night.
They effected their escape by prying
open the massive steel door at the
rear of the main corridor. This let
the alleged criminals into a narrow
passageway obstructed only by a
plain wooden door, a panel of which
was battered in from the outside, In
dicating that the prisoners had as
sistance from their confederates.
That the break did not result In a
wholesale jail delivery is attributable
to the fact that the other prisoners
were all asleep, as their cells open
into the corridor and the cell doors
were, as usual, unlocked.
So quietly did Kemp and Smith go
about their work that none of the
sleeping men, only few feet away,
were aroused, and when the break
was discovered by Night Jailer Nc

Notwithstanding the latter fact and
that the plucky young woman is now

her free life in the woods that she
says she intends to spend the summer
here, camping out and roughing IL.
1t Is her pride that all the firewood

chopped by her axe and old lumber
men who have seen her at her work
say that she handles the axe like Il

Tn company with his faithful COM
panion, an intelligent old dog, War
rem Mallory, the 9-year-old boy who
has mania for running away from
home, is confined in the city Jail. The
boy and the dog were picked up by
Detectives Fitzgerald and Ellison on
Pacific avenue last night, after they
had enjoyed a reckless vacation of
three days from the parental roof.
Warren proved good provider for
his canine friend. From the rear of
restaurants and from friendly bread
wagon drivers he managed to secure
the necessary board for two days,
and at night they slept together un-
der an old building in the neighbor-
hood of their home. On the third
day Warren became more desperate,
and as he strolled along the water
front he came across a boy younger
than himself, named Jimmy O'Hara,
who displayed evidences of having
plenty of ready cash. Warren needed
some money. He was hungry, SO
was his dog, and Jimmy O'Hara
wasn't
A miniature hold-up was the re-
suit.

self and dog. He then met friend
and the three companions took in a
10-cent show on Pacific avenue But
here events took a sudden change
for the dog and the boy. The lat
ter's father, a street car conductor,
had seen Warren enter the theater,
and Immediately notified the police,
and the arrest followed.
At the police station the boy was
locked in a cell, while the dog was
left out on the street. The latter
waited impatiently for his little mas
ter to appear, but as night approach
ed and the boy did not return, the
dog began a mournful wailing which
kept growing in volume until the
police were forced to let the canine
enter the cell with his master.
The father of the boy called at
the police station this morning and
talked a few minutes with the lad,
then left for Judge SHELLS court to
secure an order for the boys arrest.
Mr.. Mallory says he cannot control
the lad and will endeavor to have
him committed to the reform school.

Mallory boy at his cell in the city Jail

lead one to believe that he is older
than he really is. When asked why
he left home, the boy stated frankly
that he didn't like his. home, and
would rather live somewhere else
When the reform sc ool was men
toned, however, the lad broke down
and cried, saying he would rather
stay at home with his stepmother
than go to the reform school
The police believe the youngster
should be sent to the country, where
conditions would be more congenial
to his nature. To put him in the re e.
form school, they think, will only
tend to convert him into a criminal.

opening WAS large enough to admit
OF their crawling through This door
was fastened only BY one lock, which
was placed about lS inches from the
top. Across the bottom OF the door
was another brace, with an arrange

an easy task in springing the door

On reaching the door to the outer
passageway the prisoners found that

made an opening for them by break

The fact that friends of the prisons
ers on the outside knew Of the time
that the break was to take place and
OF the manner in which it was to be
effected, indicates clearly that the
escape was carefully prearranged.
How Kemp and Smith got word to
their pals Is unknown, but II is sup
posed that they had confided their
plans to some prisoner who had been
released, and the latter had carried
the information to the prisoners

Kemp and Smith are boys aged II
