Early last TUESDAY morning the most daring
attempt Al Jail breaking that has ever taken
place in this state was made by Roland Il.
Rigor, the Lakeside car bandit and Harold
Brewer and Charles NJ. Eaton, alleged bogus
check operators, now confined IN the Clly
Jail, Baltimore, awaiting trials. Rigor WAS
the ringleader, and with his characteristic bru-
tality he endeayored TO overpower Guard ii.
A. lie Crou, but, after desperate hand to.
hand battle the guard managed TO wrench
stout club which the bandit had used rs a
weapon away from him and then choke him
into insensibility. The men became locked
IN cell by accident on the part OF the con
spiraiors, and it was fight for life or death.

upon to lend assistance, became frightened
aud hid himself in the highest tier, where he
was found later by Night Captain Burgan and
Guard Silcher. That the scheme was due
only to the bravery and fighting ability OF
Guard lie Cron, for the whole plot had been
cleyerly planned and, with such desperate
man as Rigor as the leader, there is'no doubt
that the gateman would have been killed and
the trio probably have reached the outside,
