hidden between two sheets of the met

the cells very carefully and could find
on other saws nor could they find any
place about the jail's interior where

Acting upon suspicion, Jailer
Wheeler asked the sheriff and his
deputy to make careful investigation
in the Jail Saturday morning. They
soon located the two saws, one Of
which appears to have been used con-
siderably while the other does not ap-

After finding the saws, the officers
searched every part of the Jail very
carefully endeavoring to find where
the saws had been used but they were
