Baughman Brothers, Who
Made Sensational Escape
From Indianapolis Jail,
Caught at Franklin, Ind.
HAD ROBBED A STORE
AND STOLEN A HORSE
Desperadoes Are Charged
With Being Postoffice Rob-
bers and Safe Blowers
Climb Through a Shaft.

Indianapolis, March 10-Robert and
James Baughman, postoffice robbers
and safe blowers, who made a sensa-
tional escape from the Marion county
Jail yesterday, were captured by the
sheriff of Johnson county today and
are now in Jail at Franklin. They
were discovered at the Pennsylvania
station at 4:30 this4 morning. During
their flight they had stolen rig and
had robbed store at Providence,
Ind, taking money and clothing.
Desperate Characters.
Robert and James Baughman were
arrested several weeks ago following
series of robberies in Ohio and In
diana. James Baughman was arrest
ed at Anderson, Ind, charged with
the robbery of a postoffice at Upland,
Ind. and Robert Baughman was taken
on the same day at Piqua, Ohio. The
men were awaiting action by the
grand jury.
Alonzo Boyd, deputy United States
marshal, took the men in charge at
Marion and went to Muncie, where
they were given a hearing before the
U. S. commissioner, charged with rob-
bing the Upland postoffice. The men
were bound over to the federal grand
jury in the sum of $1,000 and being
unable to furnish bond were taken to
the Marion county Jail to await the
meeting OF the grand jury
How They Escaped.
Last night while Sheriff Woessner
and deputies were searching their cells
to discover jailbreaking tools which it
was learned they had in their posses
sion, the two boys escaped by climbing
through an air shaft, creeping along
the caves and sliding down a drain
pipe on the outside.
The very ingenuity displayed by the
boys in their work made it a success.
Coatless and hatless and without any
money, the young men. once at liberty
evaded all efforts of the police and de-
tectives to find them.
An unexplained tip received by
Sheriff Woessner from Lafayette on
Monday is responsible for the escape
of the prisoners, but may also have
been the means of frustrating a whole
sale Jail delivery.
Acting on the information that the
two boys were preparing to escape
from the jail, Sheriff Woessner just
after dinner time. ordered that they
be put in a lower corridor of the Jail
while their cells were searched.
Watched only. if at all, by some OF
the prisoners in cells on the first floor
of the Jail, the boys pried off a pad
lock holding a grating leading to a
ventilation shaft in the northwest tow
er of the building.

Des Moines. Ia, March 10-The
house of representatives today passed
the prohibitory constitutional amend
ment resolution. This was forecasted
yesterday by a vote of Al to 5S, nine
absent or not voting. Adjournment
was taken Immediately after the re-
fusal of the house to send the bill to
the judiciary committee. Strenuous
efforts were made by temperance op-
ponents to sidetrack the resolution by
offering numerous invalidating amend
ments and suggesting that the lang
uage of the bill was not clear, and
that 1t should therefore be sent to the
Judiciary committee, which was
branded by temperance advocates as
the burying ground of the house.
By a vote of q to 13 the senate yes
terday afternoon indefinitely postpon-
ed action on the vanlaw bill giving
cities the right to demand inspection
of the books of public utility corpora
tions and fix rates. The report for
postponement was made by the COM
mittee on cities and towns. Senator
vanlaw Immediately reintroduced the
bill and had it referred to the COM
mittee on judiciary, where he expects
to get it approved.
DR.. Chapman introduced in the SEN
ate bill prohibiting newspapers and
periodicals in Iowa from printing re-
ports of suicides on their first pages.
and from printing such news in any
place under headlines larger than long
primer type The fine for violation Of
this law is fixed at 500.

feat Today in Its Effort to
Prosecute Indiana Stand

JURY WAS ORDERED
TO FIND NOT GUILTY.
This Case at First Started
Out as Victory for Govern
ment When Twenty-Five
Million Fine Was Made.

Chicago. March 10-Judge Anderson
today instructed the jury to find the
Standard Oil company of Indiana not
guilty. -.....
This action of Judge Anderson fol-
lowed his decision yesterday and that
of today, in which he knocked the
props from under the government s
case on several material points.
Special Counsel Wilkerson today
made a long argument in a last at
tempt. after which Judge Anderson an
nounced that he still did not believe
that enough proof had been adduced to
support the allegations of the indict-
ments. Wilkerson then announced
that in his opinion it was useless for
the government to continue the pros
ecution of the case. Attorney Miller.
for the Standard Oil company, how
ever. desired to have some kind of a
verdict, whereupon Judge Anderson
sent for the jury and instructed them
to return a verdict of not guilty.
Thus ends the famous case In which
Lands imposed a fine OF $29,OOO,OOO.
