ing the cutting scrape in Mrs. Web
er's house on South Tenth street
near Johnson, early in the afternoon.
Judge Mcnamara ordered him held
to the grand jury and fixed his bond
at $500. He was committed to the
county jail.
How He Escaped.
And every piece of this disturbing
history happened because Of the i'm
provements that are being made to
the city Jail. When Holland was
brought into the station yesterday
afternoon, the painters were engaged
In giving the outside jail room coat
Of grey. The furniture in the room
had been moved about and several
heavy pieces had been placed against
the jail door.
Instead Of placing Holland in the
mems Jail, Sergeant Holiday took
him upstairs to the women's section
It was pie to a man who had been
working with a bridge gang and
swinging around in all sorts of peril
Gus places, to slip out onto the root
through handy skylight. which can
be gained by shining up door in
the cell.
Holland evidently walked over the
roofs of the buildings adjacent to the
Jail, dropping out some place on the
Blondeau street side. And he lost no
time in making his escape for it was
very shore time after he was first
arrested that neighbors at Tenth and
Johnson streets were again sending
in hurry up calls to the police
station.
Holland evidently made a bee line
for his wife. Neighbors says that she
finally had to seek safety in the AZ
niger ice house. Holland ran away
when officers appeared on the scene.
Arrested Last Night.
Then Mrs. Holland decided that
she would go to Warsaw to spend the
night Accordingly she took the
sos car here, bound for that place
In some manner or other, her hus-
band learned Of this and when the
car reached the levee, he created an
other disturbance. He was arrested
by Offer LaFeber, who was on the
hlevee beat. and taken to jail.
Both have cuts made by a razor or
knife in the mix-up yesterday after.
noon. They are not of serious ma
ture. however. Mrs. Holland has a
cut on the little finger OF her right
hand, another on her right forearm
and two slashes on the left arm, be-
tween the elbow and shoulder. Hol-
land has a cut on his arm and face.
The police state that they believe
Holland was intoxicated yesterday.
Mrs. Holland stated that when the
razor had been taken from her, her
husband threw half pint bottle of
whisky at her. striking her IN the
shoulder.
Mrs. Holland told In court that her
husband attempted to slash her with
a razor and that when this had been
taken from him, he tried to cut his
thoat with a pocket knife.
