Woodward Digs through Walls of
County Jail only to Find
Officers Waiting

On Saturday night Sheriff Mey
err foiled an attempt at breaking
jail on the part of one of the
prisoners confined in the Tor
rance County Jail, by merely be-
ing on the job. " 1t appears
that drunk was arrested and
taken to the Jail in such a hilari-
Gus condition that three persons
were necessary to search the fel-
low before locking him in the
cell. Woodward, who mas been
confined in the cell for failure to
give peace bond, was allowed
the run of the hallway, rather
than lock him with the inebriate,
a bed being arranged for him in
the hall. The kindness of the
l
sheriff in this case was i'll be-
slowed as events proved, Sheriff
Meyer was working on his books
late IN the evening, and heard a
scratching, which he took to be
the telephone wire scratching on
the outside of the brick walls.
Finishing his work about ten
O o'clock, the sheriff left the Jail,
later turning back in a circuit to
investigate the noise. Again
hearing the scratching, he seated
himself near the wall, and soon
discovered mortar trickling down
near him. After waiting a little
while, he was surprised to see a
| coat flung out over him to the
ground, followed by a cap and
other wearing apparel. About
this time Marshal Brown came
toward the Jail, and the sheriff
not wishing to have the fun dis
turbed crept over toward Brown.
and informed him of what was
doing. AS both men watched, a
man S head and shoulders appear
ed at the opening in the wall,
only to discover the officers a
waiting his coming. Seeing that
his game was up, Woodward
laughed it off, and meekly went
back to "durf Ice vile" !
