But When They Were
Broken, Mrs. Trout
Brought Some Better
Ones, He Says In Hearing
Before Commissioner


After the federal prisoners in the
county Jail found that the dehorning
saws that We're left in the ventilator
by "a man on the outside" would not
work, they ordered hack saws of Mrs
J. c. Trout. with which they COM
pleted the job. according to the story
told by E. J. A. Stevens at the pre-
liminary hearing of Mrs. Trout,
"Blondy' Roberts and Butch Car
penter before United States Commits
sioner John B. Henke yesterday The
three charged with aiding. abetting
and assisting the prisoners to escape
were bound over to the October term
of the grand jury on the testimony
of Stevens, the first escape to be
captured.
Their bond was placed at $3.50 and
"Blondy' alone was able to furnish
the amount which the chauffeurs of
the city are said to have raised for
the liberty of the man who is alleged
to have driven the men as far as
Peoria on the morning of their es-
cape a week ago.
OF all the witnesses called to the
stand. the only new features were
told by Stevens the man who had
been given a fifteen months sentence

So why not to the wheel adjust your shoulder;
Why not get out and boost little bit?
