BREAKS JAIL TO BRING
WIFE TO LIVE NEAR CELL
Convict Makes Sure His Spouse Is
Close to Prison, Then Gives
Himself Up

MARYSVILLE, Cal, Aug. 6.-Fear-
ing that his wife might forget him
should she live in another town during
his incarceration, j. Edwards. a pris-
oner in the Butte county jail, broke
out of prison today, hastened to this
city and took his wife with him to
Butte where he surrendered to the
sheriff and returned to his cell.
He told the sheriff he was willing to
serve additional time If necessary now
that he felt more certain his wife
would be waiting for him when he got
out.

Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-07

Neither Chief Dishman nor any
member of the police department would
give out any statement yesterday In
regard to the blackmailing operations
on the east side and regret was eX-
pressed that the affair had managed to
leak out because of the possible chance
of catching the writer of the threaten
ing letters. However, several seasoned
detectives hinted that it was good
thing that publicity had been given the
matter, as it would put all in the
neighborhood on the watch for sus-
picious characters and might lead to
the disclosure of some important clew
which would result in the immediate
arrest of the person sought.
"Uncle Billy" Workman expressed
surprise that the attempt made to in
timidate him had become public and
refused to give out any statement in
regard to the new letter received other
than intimating that new opportunity
to catch the sender of the letters would
shortly occur.
Whether the fiend who threatens the
lives of three of the most prominent
citizens of Los Angeles in an attempt
to extort money is desperate enough to
attempt to carry his threats into exc
cution remains to be seen, but If he
should, his intended victims are in no
danger, for every member of the fam
lilies concerned is carefully shadoWed
by protectors who are apt to shoot first
and inquire later.
Letters Are Genuine
That the letters are no hoax or work
of a feeble mind is evidenced by the
elaborate precautions taken to protect
the lives of those threatened and men
detailed to guard duty remember that
several recent Black Hand murders in
New York were prefaced with just
such warnings which when not needed
resulted in death by assassination even
when the recipient of the threatening
letters was carefully watched and
guarded.
With the advent of the noiseless re-
Volver and rifle through the use and
sale of the Maxim silencer, assassina-
tion from a long distance in place
where the murderer might gain point
of vantage and fire when undetected is
much more feasible than ever before.
The fact that also there is a more wide
spread knowledge of the use of terrible
explosives and deadly poisons makes
the work of watching for murderous
attempts harder than ever before. For
these reasons unusual precautions are
being observed for fear that the writer
of the letters represents some desperate
and powerful branch of the Black Hand
societies and may feel that he has
nothing to lose because there already
is a price upon his head.
1t is the theory of the detectives that
the blackmailer is no one acquainted
with the life and habits of those who
are threatened with destruction if they
fail to pay over a fortune for black
mail, and he is thought to be in no
way familiar with the households to
which the letters were addressed. The
reason for this theory is primarily that
a letter was sent to Warren Wilson,
who is now travelling with his family
in Europe, and it may be the foreign
malefactor who has recently arrived in
the community searched for three pros
porous appearing families in the Boyle
avenue community and chose the To-
cation on account of the nature of the
surrounding country.
