ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
OF AIDING JAIL ESCAPE
Two Negroes Taken Into Custody at
Monrovia on Confession of
Frank Wright
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
MONROVIA, May 19.-Two negroes
were arrested here today upon word
from Santa Monica that Frank Wright,
captured by the officers there, had i'm
plicated them in his escape from Mon
roVia Jail two weeks ago. The Monro-
via marshal spent several days at
Santa Monica hunting Wright after he
had slipped out from the steel cage
here, confederates from the outside
having taken off the lid of it with the
aid of wrenches. He put the Santa
Monica officers on the trail, and when
they picked up a negro who was ac-
cused of stealing clothes they identified
him as the bird from the Monrovia
cage.
Today they telephoned Marshal Mil
Ter that Wright had confessed that
Sam McReynolds and Calvin Shaw
opened the doors for him. Calvin Shaw
is a laborer who has lived nearly all
his life near Duarte. Sam McReynolds
is a new conner who runs a small store
there. Both men claim they can read

justice the names of people to summon
at their trial.
Wrights confession is looked upon
with suspicion here, as the men
charged have not only borne fair repu-
tations, but are, moreover not skilled
enough to have done the work of open
ing the Jail, which was done with me-

ing this proposition. the jury in the
