night. After Jake Miller, who is
charged with an attempt to murdef,
reached the outside of the Jail, Wood

Miller and Slater and they were to-
gether for several hours. Patrolman
Glover saw the three together and at

out on hunt for them. He found
Wood in an alley, but the other two

Ter and Slater saw the patro1man
take him and he believes that they

According to Wood, Miller's wife or
his brothers sister passed saws into
the Jail to Miller, enabling the seven
men to escape. Wood says the men
