 This youth has managed to contri- bute great deal to the gaiety of existence at Maricopa during his brief residence.
 Officer Cronin. who arrested Clai- borne on Sunday. decided that since no other charges of a more serious nature had developed he would take him back on Wednesday night to the jurisdiction of Pinal county where he would be tried for personating a woman. The jail facilities are hardly adequate at Maricopa. There is a post there called Room Is" to which prisoners are fastened and there Clai- borne was ''incarcerated."
 One handcuff was on his wrist and the other fastened by means of d chain to the post A little after four o'clock yesterday morning Claiborne wearied of his cramped position and, by using the larger chain, he broke a link of the chain holding the hand cuffs together and he was free.
 As soon as his absence was dis covered telegrams were sent along the line and all train crews passing Mari copa were instructed to keep d lock- out for a boy in his stockings with one handcuff on The crew of No. s eastbound,. which passed Maricopa at ten o'clock. reported that such figure had been observed moving west.

  Phoenix after Harry Oliver and who thought that Claiborne might be the man who killed Policeman Brooks of Los Angeles a couple of weeks, with local officers. left Maricopa on handcar and overlook Claiborne six teen miles west.
 A telegram had been received at the sheriffs office here on Wednesday night from Detective Home. saying that he was coming after Oliver and he also requested that Claiborne be held. Sheriff Hayden wired Officer Cronin at Maricopa but the message was mistaken by a telegraph operator for a night letter and was not deliv- cred at Maricopa until eight o'clock yesterday morning.
 Claiborne, who is good looking boy and an innocent looking one, was brought in last night by Officer Home. He wore sheepish grin.
 Why did you quit 'em at Marico- pa" he was asked.
 T don't look as if 1 had quit 'cm" was the reply: don't you sec 1 am here all right?'
 But. speaking seriously. he said that ne nad no cause To run away. that IS there was no urgent reason why he should escape but he said he had be- come disgusted with the way things were going. He seemed to be re- garded with some suspicion by Officer Cronin and the other officer and he decided to leave them and go to some place where an honest youth would encounter more appreciation.
 Officer Home was asked last night if the boy was wanted in Los An geles. He replied that he was Being asked if he thought he was the man who had killed Brooks. he said he was not sure of that but he was inclined to believe that he was or that he was implicated in the killing.
 What immediate disposition will be made of Claiborne is uncertain. He is under commitment to the jail at Flor. ence from the justices court at Mari copa. but he may be held here day or two until Detective Home can look a little further into the case and as- certain whether. circumstances will warrant his removal to. Los AnSeels.
 The officer was too weary last night
