DON'T LIKE THE JAIL.
Prisoners Find II Too Quiet at West
mOreland

the Wcstmoreland house of correction
any more at the present time than they
did few years back when prohibition
wasn't in force and when the stumbling
residents of the various towns were
housed at that institution. This is
proved by the running away of two
prisoners within the past three weeks.
The first man to escape in this period
was Edward Donahue, while the second
to go over the hill'' was Fred Il.
Terry, sent to Westmoreland only two
weeks ago
In the oldcn days the quiet of the
environment, it is said, got on the
nerves of those confined there and es-
cnpes were frequent. The same reason,
together with the lack of guards to
watch prisoners at work, may possibly
be blamed for the jumping out of Dona-
hue and Terry. Each stayed one day.
1t is believed that the men after
working in the fields on their first day
Mt the place realized that there was
nothing to prevent them from crossing
the river to safety on the Vermont side,
and that they got out of the jurisdic-
ton of this state in that way.
