 The women. after crawling through a hole in the window. gained the roof of the building. tied two sheets together, and lowered themselves to a ladder below. placed there for them, and escaped through a back alley. Their escape was first der tected by Officers Jones and Smith. by finding the hole made In the bars. about o'clock yesterday morning Late last night the women had not been apprehended.
 Warden Sutton said that he in speeted the women's cell about 12;s0 o'clock end at that time there were no evidences of escape from the Jail being planned by the women.
 Essie May Thomas, who was held on a charge of grand larceny. was said to have boasted to Detectives Moser and Brown, who arrested her. that there was not Jail in Bir- mingham big enough to hold her. Ruby Stewart was serving a 115-day jail sentence for violating the liquor law and disorderly conduct. and Esther Bearden and Margaret Hob son were held on charges of vag- rancy. Their trials were scheduled to take place today.
 According to the theory of detec- tives. the job of saving the bars was done from the outside. there being not enough room in which to work a hack saw from the inside of the cell wall and the window sill.
