Jail delivery. There was no detec-
tive waiting to arrest him because
the police were lot notified until 10
O'Clock the next day.
Although two days have passed.
no photographs or descriptions of the
five men have been sent out.
The third peculiar circumstance is
the mysterious absence of the photo
graphs of two of the men from the
files of the Bertillon bureau.
The fourth remarkable fact is that
Steven ReapeN the trusty who engi-
neered che escape and made it posi-
BILE by reason of his privileges, was
found guilty of highway robbery
only last Wednesday. Although he
had not yet been sentenced, he was
a trusty, and had a trusty's privi-
leges.
Ida Mott, in whose home Alberto
roomed, called up police headquar-
ters today and said:
"A cousin of Alberto and another
man are in his room now. They are
packing his clothes"
Lieutenants Tuite and Ebert, of the
detective bureau, hurried to the house
and caught the men in Alberto's
room.
AS they entered, so they assert,
they say one slip a razor from his
pocket into that of his companion.
They TOOK both to headquarters

have been many startling revela
