JAIL DELIVERY.

ERAL BRICK FROM PARTITION
WALL WHEN DISCOVERED.
WILL Be CLOSELY CONFINED
Walters and Woody Believed to Have
Been Responsible for Bold Plan to
Escape From Bastie--Held for
Highway Robbery.


An attempted Jail delivery was mar
rowly averted this morning by Sheriff
Gabriel X. HOuser when in feeding
prisoners he found that several brick
had been removed from the partition
separating the men and women pris
oners at the jail. Sheriff Houser gives
the women prisoners freedom of the
corridors and says it would have been
an easy matter for the men to have
made their way into this colEidOr in
hve more minutes and pounced upon
him as his back was turned while
unlocking the door
The men believed to be responsible
for the attempted delivery are A. A.
Waters and Ed Woody, arrested here
on the night of October by Sheriff
Houser and Deputy Sheriff Sam Har
Olson on charge of highway robbery.
1t will be remembered that these men
We're taken into custody down in Pill
low Park while a street carnival was
i'll progress there. The arrest was
made upon complaint of Mrs. Lizzie
Caruthers, who operates a small gro
Gerry store near the site of the old ice
factory after the men, at the point OF
pistol, had robbed her store of gro
ceries and provisions.
Following the arrest of the men it
was found that they had in their pos
session a large quGntity of stolen
goods, including automobile tires, tools
and accessories which were returned
to the owners upon Identification.
Waters and Woody claim to have
driven through the country from a
point near Birmingham, Ala, and gave
Birmingham as their home. They
were arrested the night following the
theft of George r. McKennon's car
from in front of the Episcopal rectory,
and it was believed for time that
they with third party were implicat-
ed in the theft of this car. However,
Mr.. McKennon's car was discovered
a month later, nearly a total wreck,
near WilliamspOrt. 1t is not known
whether the third party drove the
car to that point and wrecked it, or
whether it was done by someone else.
Immediately after the attempted de-
livery this morning Sheriff Houser no
titled Judge Turner of his intention
of taking no more chances with the
prisoners and that he would lock them
in a cell. Since their confinement
thev have been allowed the freedom
of the mems corridor. Sheriff Houser
has been unable to find the brick
which were removed from the wall,
and does not know what kind of tool
was used in oosening them from the
mortar but a complete investigation
will be made.

trolman Jake Stages, indicted on Tues
day for murder in the first degree. in
open court requested that this case

to get everything in readiness for

set as quickly as possible.
Judge Turner replied that he had
already received requests for setting
several other cases, and at this time
could mot set the Stages case but
would probably do so within the next
few days, but continued the Judge,

gin preparation with the expectation

did not seek to delay the trial, but
that he had several cases pending in
the court of civil appeals, and that it
will be but short time before the
meeting of supreme court, and that
in the meantime he had to spend some
two or three weeks in Kentucky taxi
ing evidence and it would be impossi-
Bile for him to devote but little time
to the preparation of the case.
