II. f.. Rogers Back In Jail

r. E. Rogers who with ]. G..
| Wamer broke Jail here about two
weeks ago, by saving the cage bars,
and who was captured the first of
last week at Kansas City, Kan, was
brought here last Thursday evening.
Deputy Sheriff w M. Newton, Mar
shall Drury and "Chuck" Bird, the
latter deputy sheriff from Cam
bridge, went out to Kansas City,
leaving here Tuesday. and arriving
there Wednesday. Concerning Rog-
ers' arrest, we learn that on their
way to Kansas City Rogers and
Wamer picked up a boy about Is
years of age, in Missouri, who staid
with them for a time, and that Rog-
ers began his chicken stealing oper-
ations out there. In the meantime,
the boy took the car and attempted
to get away with it, when Rogers
appealed to the police, giving the
license plate numbers, etc. When
officers stopped the machine the
boy was driving, the lad said
what the h the difference, it Is
no harm to steal from chicken
thieves and opened the door, and
about 20 chickens few out. The lad
told the whole particulars, and Rog-
ers and Wamer were put in safe
keeping by Kansas City authorities,
and Sheriff Henery here was noti-
fed, and when the officers from here
above mentioned, arrived, they took
charge of Rogers. He was hand
cuffed and chained, in the rumble
seat of the car, and they started
for this place, arriving here Thurs
day evening about 9:15. The Off
GERS had made the trip out in the
Cambridge deputy's official car,
which is a big Chrysler. On their
way out they averaged SO miles an
hour, and on the way home about
55 miles. This, considering their
stops for gasoline and their delay in
going through city traffic, was re-
markable run. Marshal Drury did
not return with the other officers,
but drove back Rogers car, and be-
fore starting telegraphed here for
money, since it was necessary to buy
three new castings and two inner
tubes. He got home Saturday ev-
ening about O'Clock.
After breaking Jail here, as be-
fore stated, Rogers went to the Rob-
ert Bates place, below Malta, took
his machine and drove to his own
home near New Concord, left Bates
machine there and took Bates IL
cense number plates, and some of
his tools, and put them on his own
machine, the car having Bates IL
cense plates on it when captured.
Rogers is now in Jail here in safe
keeping, awaiting the action OF the
grand jury. He was first arrested
and put in jail here, charged with
the stealing of turkeys from Frank
Hardesty of Bristol, and was also
wanted by officials at Wellston for
chicken stealing. Since his escape
from Jail here he has increased his
offense, and now also faces charge
of stealing Bates ear, and of taking
out of the state mortgaged property.
| His attorney here held chattel
mortgage on his machine.
Wamer who escaped here with
Rogers, was held at Kansas City,
for authorities at Fredericksburg
Tex Wamer had been arrested at
Morganville, charged with forgery,
and was being held here in jail for
Texas authorities.
