Fort collins.-Just a portion of one
steel bar stood between w. l.. Ryan,
convicted OF first degree murder and
given to death penalty, and freedom
when officers at the county jail dis.
covered that he had been devoting the
week since his conviction to saving
Dut small window in the buIlpen.
Six bars were sawed through COM
pletely and the seventh was partially
severed. Completion OF the work
would have made a hole nine by
Twelve inches through which Ryan.
who is small. could have crawled. The
theory is that Ryan intended to reach
the corridor through the window. dis
able the turnkey when he came with
the meals and let himself out of the
bRilding.
The three other prisoners in the
bullpen were questioned and admis-
slons were made that they knew Of
Ryan's work during the week. Ryan
said he had been using a saw he found
under the bath tub. Sheriff Cooke
says he has an idea OF where the saw
came from. A piece of saw an inch
and half long was all that was
found on Ryan and it is believed that
Nieces, as they broke off, were thrown
away in some manner. Some wire, a
buttonhook and sharp buckle were
also found on Ryan.
Ryan had sawed through one bar
each day. He will still be kept in the
bullpen. where he can be watched
more easily.
Ryan killed Attorney Newton w.
Crosse, Aug. IA. He entered the law
yer's office and pumped several shots
into his body. The insanity defense
was used unsuecessfully In the trial.

DISPUTE HOLDS UP PAY
UTILITIES COMMISSION coNTRo.
vERsY TAKEN TO COURT :.
Attorney General Farrar Rendered
Opinion That Employees Do Not
Come Under Civil Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-As the result of a dispute
between the Public Utilities Commits.
sion and the Civil Service Commission
as to whether or not the employees Of
the Utilities Commission are in the
classified service State Auditor Ready
kenehan has held up the pay OF the
employees since the commission came
into being in August The utilities
commission plans to mandamus Kene-
han to settle the question in the
courts. As the case will undoubtedly
be taken to the State Supreme Court,
the four employees affected will go for
some months without their salaries
The law creating the public utilities
provided that the commission shall
appoint its employees at its pleasure,
which would remove them from the
classified service. Also the statute
was passed after the civil service law,
and upon this point the commission
makes the contention that the EN-
ployes of the board do not come under
civil service.
The Civil Service Commission holds
the position that it was not the inten-
tion of the Legislature in passing the
Public Utilities Commission law to
take the employees of the commission
from the classified service. II the
Legislature did. the Civil Service CON-
mission claims, every state employe
can be taken from the classified serv.
Ice in time by later statutes.
Th attorney generals office rem
dered an opinion to Kenehan that the
employees OF the utilities commission
do not come under civil service while
the Civil Service Commission rem
dered one exactly opposite to the audi
tor.
Should the decision of the Supreme
Court be In favor of the utilities COM
mission, the powers of the civil serv-
ice Commission may in time decrease
until they no longer exist
