This was the verdict of acting Chief
of Police John Burbridge. a score of
police officers and nearly 90 represen-

missioners Wilson and MacKey, half
dozen attorneys and representatives of
the local papers.
Cunning, by appointment. appeared
in the office of the Chief Of Police
shortly before o'clock and announc-
ed that he was ready for the test. The
Iofficers. by the way, had already been
invited to see what the man could do.
Capt. Burbridge at once got busy and
placed two Oregon boots on the mans
ankles. after which he placed a pair of
steel shackles just above them. Two
pairs of handouts were then placed on
the wrists of Cunning.
If you have another pair of hand
cuffs handy you may handcuff my
hands to the shackles or my ankles"
remarked the man.
oh. l guess that will hold you for
a while" remarked one of the officers.
Cunning was then half led and half
carried TO the jail in the rear. The
weight of the Oregon boots each of
which weighs about thirty pounds, and
the shackles prevented him from walk
ing down and up the steps from the
office to the Jail Upon arriving in

that the door was locked. All who

remarked the jailer.

outer door was closed and locked until
Cunning knocked on ii and announced
that he was ready was just III. min

When the door was opened Cunning
was seen with the perspiration stream

examination showed that he had not
only taken of the Oregon boots. shack

unlocked on the cot in the cell. but
that he had also escaped from the cell
and the door was still locked.
! How did he do it? Ask those who
witnessed the act. Each will tell you
how, he thinks the trick was turned
but scarcely two of them will have the
same idea. Ask the officers and they
will frankly tell YOU that they do not
know.
