Loveday cell.
Tells Prisoners Good Bye
The cell door fell with crash.
well, goodbye, boys, l m off 2 Love
day shouted to the half dozen prisoners
in the lookup as he leaped from the cell
as the door fell. Have any Of YOU
fellows got a pencili'' he continued.
l want to write the policemen a note
and tell them that I am much obliged
70 them for the way they have treated
me.
Agile as q cat, Loveday crawled into
the cold air shaft. The opening to it
was less than 16 inches square and it
is more than 80 feet long, but Loveday
had been accustomed to be in tight
places and to squeeze out Of them. The
prisoners stood awed as their star com
panion made his way into the air shaft.
Some of them declared that they shout
ed for help but if they did, not one
heard them at the police station on the
upper floor Of the building and it was
nearly half an hour before the officers
came to the cell and found that Love
day had made his escape.
JanitoT Discovers Exit.
It was Janitor John Szafranksi who
discovered the exit that had been used
by Loveday in his fight from tho build
ing. Loveday had left behind him q
series Of broken screens. He had
wormed his way along the narrow ven
tilating tube from the city lookup to
the end Of the tube in the basement
laboratory Of the water company. The
end of the tube had been guarded bv
an iron screen but he managed to pull
this off and dropped to the floor below.
Then it was Of little consequence for q
clever man like Loveday who had
laughed at Jail bars TO kick off a screen
window and pull himself up and get
out into the blessed air Of freedom.
Chief with Family at Home.
Chief Of Police o Hare was at home
at dinner with members of his family
when he got the word that Loveday
was missing and the regular Sunday
evening gathering of the members Of
the O'Hare family was broken up and
the chief hurried to the headquarters.
At that time it was believed that Love
day was still somewhere in the build
ing. The building was searched from
one end to the other before it was
found that the prisoner had made his
way out Of the laboratory to the street.
Every man on the force was called out
to search for Loyeday.
Cover Entire city.
While Loveday could have been out
but a few minutes he must have worked |
fast, for the officers covered the entire
city in short time and every road |
eading out Of the city was under guard |
but no Loveday came to follow the
roads. Police officers think that it is
that an automobile might have
been waiting for him,
Loyeday left the lookup without coat
Or Int and without cent Of money SO
Tar as the police officers know. No one |
had visited Loveday during the day |
and it is not believed that he had se-
cured any tools with which to loosen
two bolts which had held the cell door
n place. He loosened these bolts with |
MS fingers and he must have worked |
for some time before he got the bolts
oose enough to pull out. 1t was the !
luck of Loveday that he had been
placed in the only cell in the lookup |
wherer the bolts could have been req
moved.
Think He WIN Go to Chicago.
Police officers think that Loveday |
will make an effort to get into Chicago
md every detective in that city has
'een ordered to look for him. The same
'rders have gone to the detectives in
Milwaukee and all intervening cities
ind to Toledo, Ohio, which is regarded
ts a rendezvous Of the Loveday gang.
Was to Have Besn Arraigned Today.
Loveday was to have been arraigned
n the Municipal Court today for pre-
iminary hearing on complaint charg-
ng him with being an accessory before
he fact to the murder Of Tony Pinga.
ore. Loveday knew he was to have
'een arraigned today and it is believed
hat this led him to make the break for
liberty on Sunday night. Plans had
been made to have him handcufFed and
Iuarded during the night but he made
he attempt to escape So early in the
'vening that the police officers had not
xpected it.
