L. G. Mcdonald Has Made Many Es-
capes, But Will Probably Do
His Time This Trip.

After escaping from the Oregon peni-
tentiary nearly a year ago and succeed
ing in evading the authorities during
that time, L. G. Mcdonald, a six-year
termer from Multnomah county, was
arrested last week in Sacramento, Cal.
on the charge of stealing bicycle and
today he is again behind the prison
walls here, Guard Walter johnson hav-
ing returned with the man yesterday.
MeDonld is probably the smoothest
criminal now confined in the peniten-
tiary, recording to his record He is
handcuff artist, and it is said that
there never was cuff made but that
he could slip out of it, In 1896 Melon
aid was arrested in California and
while he was being tried in the court
house at Whittier, CAL, he jumped
through window and escaped. He was
again captured in Utah and after being
locked in Jail there succeeded in get
ting out and the prison authorities of
that place do not know today how he
affected his escape At another time
he was being escorted from one town to
another in California and was at the
time heavily handcuffed He slipped
the cuffs and was part way out of the
car window before his guard noticed
him
When the prisoner was turned over
by the Sacramento authorities to Mr..
Johnson, he was heavily handcuffed
and wore leg.irons. The southern Off
GERS warned Mr.. johnson not to remove
the shackles, saying that Mcdonald
would surely get away. The guard was
told that Mcdonald s favorite scheme
was to engage in earnest conversation
with the one having him in charge and
while talking slip the cuffs from his
wrists and watch his chances to get
away. johnson gave the man the op
portunlty and Mcdonald TOOK adVan
tage Of it upon the way to Salem. He
faced johnson in the chair car and be
gan a fast conversation about 'clocl
in the morning, and had talked but 9
short time when the guard noticed hin
tampering with the cuffs. A foolisl
grin spread over the prisoners fac,
when he saw that his game would no
work and from then on he remained
orderely.
Upon reaching Salem, Johnson toll,
Mcdonald that if he thought he wa
such slick customer and could ge
away on his (Johnson s) own ground
he could have the opportunity,and eve
the handouts were removed. McDon
OLD did not make break.
