AGAIN GUT WALL
Of COUNTY JAIL
Two Prisoners Captured,
However; Suit May Be
Filed by County.

Cutting through the steel" walls Of
Ell Paso county's $500 roof garden
jail is becoming a sort Of pastime for
prisoners. Sunday night about 1890
o'clock, Antonio Sanchez and Charles
Harris, confined in the east tier OF
cells on the second floor, crawled
through the wall of the tier into the
plumbers run. through a hole cut in
the metal wall with a pocket knife.
This was the second time in a week
that the fine new walls were cut by
prisoners, the first time saws being
used and four men effecting a com
plete escape. This time. the men wee
heard by night jailer J. w Brown
when they reached the plumbers run
and the officer promptly cut short
their trip to the greet outdoors.
Harris, who had been Indicted or
charges Of robbery by assault ana
theft over $50, was awaiting trans
portation to the state penstentiary TO
serve a two year term, while there
was a notation beside his name that
the federal authorities wanted him
when he had settled with the sta e.
Sanchez was held on similar charges
Claims worked IS Days.
Harris laughingly told a Herald rep
resentative Monday morning that the
hole which was three sided, the mel
al being bent downwards TO allow the
exit Of the men. that he had worked
IS days on the job. Don't you be-
lieve a fellow with so much patience
ought to be given a chance at Job
where real work was required2" he
asked A negro trusty, however, said
the entire job was done Sunday even

Deputies Of sheriff Seth B. orndorff
recently searched the Jail for tools
and found none. Harris said that
when they came around, he hid the
knife in toilet.
