Three of his Jail companions were re- captured but Jones successfully eluded the officers and up to date has not been heard of. 1t now appears that young Jones, who i- ssnted ou a charge of larceny. has s penehant Tor breaking jail and has record Of escaping ir m custody on several pre- vinus occasions. While incarcerated at the Territorial Industrial School he twice took French leave. When arrested at Douglas and placed iu jail he managed to leave suddenly ont night, and later when captured spent only several hours at the old guar ters.
