In the minds of some of the most

no question but that the bond holders

half dozen other high military and
civic officials. The pills were put up
in the forms of samples and appeared
to be part of an advertising campaign
for a new cure. Back of this was as
threatening a political plot as has
been developed in years. The poison
was sent only to foes of Servia.

claim of Zelaya's officials that Leon

ecuted because they were laying dyna-

the two Americans. Officials declare
that the mining of river or harbor

Not long ago, Cannon, who was a
soldier of fortune, got into trouble over
smuggling in Nicaragua. AS he was
over six feet tall, weighing over two
hundred pounds. and perfect athlete,
it took about fifteen OF Zelaya's sold
iers to arrest him. After he got out
of the scrape he vowed he would get
even with the Nicaraguan president

he made his threat it was a foregone

parentIy Is Not Discouraged
By Failure of Plans.
TRIED TO PRY OPEN
a REGISTER AT JAIL
And Was Also Prepared to At
tack the Sheriff With Iron
Bar, But His Plot Was Re-
ported by a opal"

1t is the boastful assertion Of Earl
T. Hall, the insurance agent. who
was convicted of embezzlement on
Thursday, in the Wayne circuit court
and who was sentenced to serve an
indeterminate term of from two to
fourteen years in the state prison ut
Michigan City, that he will never see
the inside of the prison walls. This
bold declaration was made in con-
fidence to a fellow prisoner in the
county Jail, who allowed the secret
to leak out and it finally reached the
ears of Sheriff Meredith. The sheriff
will take Hall to Michigan City Mon
day morning and states that he is
willing to wager that the prisoners
boastful threat will not be carried
out.
That Hall is desperate character
however, is evidenced by his actions
at the county Jail during the past few
days. One of the boldest and most
been originated in the local Jail was
unearthed by Sheriff Meredith ana
was discovered just in time to pre-
vent the prisoner from making one
of the most sensational of escapes.
With a large iron bar secured from
a seat in his cell, Hall broke loose
| the cement from around the big reg.
lister in the Jail assembly room. This
| register extends about six inches
above the level of the floor.
What His Plan Was.
Hall planned wait until Turnkey
Harris had tai Ill the prisoners out
to work on the stone pile.
1t appears that one of the prison
ers at the Jail had been consulting an
attorney daily. 1t was Halls inten
tion to wait until Sheriff Meredith ad
mitted the lawyer before he attempt
ed his escape. His plan was tc
soak" the sheriff over the ''koko'
with the iron bar when he turned his
back, make a dash for the door anG
run out through the front entrance o.
Meredith's house. If the way was
blocked. however, and he found it i'm
possible to make his escape in tha
manner, it was then his intention tt
pull up the register, which he haG
previously pried loose, knock the
pipe loose, and then drop through thu
opening and make his escape via thu
basement.
Too Over Confident.
Perhaps it was only Halls over
confidence in his fellow prisoners, il
whom he had confided the secret
which prevented him from making hi
daring dash for liberty or carryin,
out his artful design. One Of lie pris
oners notified Meredith of the embez
zler's purpose and Hall was imme1
