to keep in the cell.
Edward Swanson. drunk confined
in an adjoining cell, said that he
heard Roberts working at the lock
and saw him tiptoe his way out Of
the rear door of the prison room. Had
one of the patrolmen seen him on the
streets, they would have thought
nothing of 1t as they were expecting
at any time to have his fine paid,
thus effecting his release.
AT the time of the delivery Chief
Cornwell was loking after a police
call in the north end and Avery
Crabb, the prison attendant, had gone
to dinner. When Crabb returned from
dinner he missed the prisoner but
supposed that his fine had been paid
and that he was released.
The police have Roberts photo
graph, and in case that the amount
of his fine is not refunded within
twenty-four hours. circulars will be
setn out and reward offered for his
recapture.

MAY LOCATE
PLANT HERE
Would Employ Hundreds of
Men.
COMPANY WRITES MAYOR
Asking Inducements From
the Citizens.
The Macarthur Electric Manufactur.
ing Co. Would Establish Branch
Plant.

1t is very probable that the McArth-
ur Electric Manufacturing company
with headquarters in New York City,
will establish plant In this city.
G. C. Shaefer, travelling agent Of the
company, VINO was in the city sew
eral days ago investigating Marion's
advantages has written Mayor Scherfi
asking him what Inducements Marion
citizens will offer to bring the in
dustry to the city.
The company has large plant at
vineland, New Jersey, where its man
ufactures general electric supplies.
The correspondence states that the
company wishes to install an incan-
descent bulb factory here. The shop
would employ from three to flve hum
dred men and would run twelve
months in the year
Mayor Scherff Immediately an
swered the letter and informed the
writer that Marion would welcome
such factory and referred the COM
pany to Mr.. j. Schroeder, secretary
of the committee of the Commercial
club, for terms and special induce
ments.
1t seems as Though this company
has contemplated locating In Marion
for some time. Last May, an Off
cial representative was here looking
over the city and 1t is said he re-
ported very favorably upon Marion
for the location of the shops.
The company has no plant in Ohio
and the idea is to get a location near
the central part of the state in some
aggressive and growing city. Schaef-
er states that out of the hundreds
OF cities which have been visited,
Marion has been reported on as being
the most favorable place.
The Macarthur company is one Of
the largest firms manufacturing elec-
tric goods in the country and II Ma
rion can land one OF It's branch shops
II will mean great boost to the city.

Hard Battle Can be Ex-
pected.
UNITED STATES COMPANY
Tries to Connect up Lines
In the City.
Starts Cutting Out ito Wires Into
Marion County Exchange but
10 Discovered.

Only the watchfulness of the Off
lcials and employees Of the Marion
County Telephone company prevented
la gang of employees of the United
|States Telephone company from DIS
connecting all long distance wires
running into the local exchange, Sat-
|urday night and connecting them
with an office that has been opened
|by the United States company on
Court street.
The United States comupany sent a
small number of expert linemen into
the city Saturday night. Quietly and
without any ado they climbed the
poles of the Marion County company
lat the rear Of the Shaffner furniture
store on South Main street and COM
|menced cutting out the U. s. wires
that connect with the Marion Coun-
'ty exchange. After considerable work
had been done, but before the new
exchange in Court street had been
connected up, the game" was dis
covered 1t was with difficulty that
a clash between employees of the two
was prevented.
The nthe law was appealed to and
the United States people secured a
injunction against the Ma
rion County company restraining
the latter company from cutting, de-
,stroyihg or injuring in any way the
property of the former corporation.
The Injunction was granted by Judge
Young early in the evening.
At midnight the Marion County
company secured an order of tempo
Irary injunction restraining the United
States company or Its employees from
|cutting, injuring or destroying any Of
the wires leading into the local ex-
change.
The fight is the outcome OF the
recent merger of the independent and
Bell telephone. interests In Marion
county. At the present time the Bell
long distance wires are operated at
the Marion county exchange, In the
past the United States or the Inde-
pendent lines as they are known,
we're the only long distance lines op-
|erated at the exchange. The United
States people claim that they are
being Disseminated against by the
Marion County company. They state
that their receipts have fallen on
and that the local concern has violat-
ed It's contract with them, hence they
desire and demand change, prefer
Ing to operate a separate exchange
to having the wires in the same ex-
exchange with the Bell company.
The action OF the independents was
more or less a surprise to the Off
|cials of the Marion County Com
|pany. Mr.. G.. w. King, president
OF the company, stated to the Mirror

Roberts Does Lock Picking
Act.
DIAMOND THIEF CLEVER
Makes the Key out of a Hair
Comb.
Turns Tumbler on Cell Lock and
Quietly Walks Forth to Bis
Freedom

Harry C. Roberts, the young dia-
mond thief, who was held in cell No.
/ at the city bastile. awaiting the
arrival of friends to pay his fine,
made his getaway about II o'clock
Sunday morning by picking the Yale
lock which sealed the door OF his
cell. With a finger-nail file, Roberts
manufactured key out Of an alum
inum comb and succeeded in turning
the tumblers OF the heavy lock.
Roberts was arrested at Bucyrus for
the theft of a diamond ring at the
iewelry store Of c. e. Burris. He
pleaded guilty to charge of petit
larceny In the mayors court last
Monday morning and was fined 800
and costs. amounting in all to s113 05,
and sentenced to thirty days in the
Columbus workhouse. Roberts said
that he could raise the fine IL the
court would give him a few days in
which to write some letters. His
request was granted but his efforts
10 raise the amount of the fine was
fruitless
During his confinement last week,
Roberts made many friends and
gained the confidence of everybody
with whom he became acquainted
Loking up his past record, the police
disclosed that he was a trade learned
brick mason and had been a hard
working man. He had no previous
criminal record and whiskey and bad
company was the cause of lis being
led to steal the diamond. Although
1t was never made known to the
prisoner, the mayor had intended to
suspend the workhouse sentence upon
the payment of the fine.
The prisoner remarked to a friend
Saturday that II he were only out of
jail day, he could raise sufficient
money to pay the fine. w. p. Mo-
bney. who defended Roberts. stated
this morning that he believes that the
escaped prisoner will return in a
short time with sufficient money to
pay the fine,
1t Is little wonder that Gross, the
handcuf king, succeeded so easily in
going through the locks at the city
prison when Roberts released the big
lo"k by means OF small aluminium
comb which weighs less than an
ounce. Roberts dropped the comb
just outside OF the prison door where
an hour later the police found 1t. 1t
was peculiarly shaped key which
he had filed out with a small nail
file. which the police had allowed him
