hole had been made in the back wall Of the Jail by a former prisoner who tried to escape, but was not large enough for a full grown man. On the morning of the sixth of January. ac- cording to the woman, McCafferty got up about daylight and proceeded to en- large the hole in the wall by taking a chairleg and punching out enough of the adobes to permit him to get out. Before leaving the jail,, she says. he piled his own quilts on Jimmie and de- hberately set fire to them The woman then began screaming and McCafferty left hastily. Finally the fire burned to Jimmie's legs, rOusing him from his Stupor; he got the Mexican awake and the two used the water left in the jail to put out the fire. Hearing the screams of the frightened woman some of the residents nearby went to the jail and assisted in putting out the fire. The smoke was dense in the jail and the woman was half suffocated. Officers at once started on the trail of McCafferty. They found that he had stopped and got breakfast at the home of Charles Hill, five miles east of town and supposed that he had gone toward the Verde country, where he has been formerly. According to his own story, now told, he found a party going to Phoenix in an automobile and went there and thence to Bisbee

 two poured water on the quilts until the fire was eXtinguished then broke a chair and punched a larger hole in the back of the building to let the smoke out Finding that the hole was large enough to admit of egress he took French leave"
