licemen Escapes From Jail

: ~ Z # E. = - x Z s
Herbert L. Copeland, a negro pris-
oner, charged with the murder Of
three police officers escaped from the
District of Columbia Jail yesterday.
copeland made his escape through
window leading TO a corridor down
which he fled to another window and
jumped out to freedom. Two bars
to the first window were found saw
ed through, and one in the second.
1t is declared that the saving OF
the second window was done from
the outside. Further strength IS
lent the theory of outside assistance
by the fact that a barbed-wire fence
surrounding the Jail grounds was
found cut at one point.
Copeland, on May p, 1918, shot to
death Lieut.. Dunnigan, and Private
Conrad, of the District police force,
and Deputy Sheriff McParaan, of
Prince Georges county, while they
were attempting to serve warrant
on him. Copeland was Wounded

give illustrations of conditions, but
his word picture made up for any de-
fcfency in this line.
