THE JAIL BREAK

Four prisoners escaped from
the Santa Cruz county Jail Sun
day morning. Twoof them have
been recaptured. The other two,
Americans who were awaiting
trial for burglary of local
store, are still at large.
The Jail break can in 20 wise
be attributed to negligence on
the part of the officials at the
Jail. Sheriff Wager was out of
the city when the break occurred
Jailer Adams was on duty. It
all happened within a few min
utes, and could not be avoide d
by the jailer or deputies.
The fault lies with the screen
wire which covers the jailyard
of the women's quarters. The
prisoners were taken to the Jail
yard for sunbath because Of
an outbreak of Influenza in the
Jail proper. The prisoners climb
ed on top of a disinfectant bar
rel, kicked the screen covering
loose and jumped to the ground,
Is feet below.
While Jail breaks usu lily re.
feet on officials yet, ia all fair
ness to Sheriff Wager and his
efficient force, the break cannot
be chalked up against his depart
ment.
(. A covering of iron rods. we'll
im mbedded in cement, will pre-
vent future deliveries in the
jailyard. Until this is done a
guard will be maintained by
Sheriff Wager on the wall over
the jailyard. -~Nogales Herald.

LAWYER MARTIN LOST HIS MIND
 BY OVERWORK
And We'll Known West Haven Attorney Took His Own Life By ShOot- ing Yesterday

New Haven, Conn, Oct 15-CU. P)-Mental strain of conducting the defense in two important fi- nancial trials and a persistent ill., ness was believed to-day to have driven Charles J. Martin. former West Haven judge and legislator, to commit suicide yesterday. At torney Martin, known throughout the state for his conscientious att tention to minute detail in prepar- ing his cases, had shouldered the burden of defending the Parker Smith company partners and the Kingston Brothers, brokers, dur ing the past year.
 After the Kingston trial he un- derwent an operation for appendi- citis and had been i'll ever since. Yesterday he went to his doctor and was told he might have to en- ter a sanitorium. A few hours later he shot himself under the heart with a .22 calibre revolver. Friends in the legal profession were shock ed and incredulous when news of the suicide reached them. Funeral services will be held at his West Haven home Saturday, with high requiem mass celebrated at St Lawrence church. He left a wife and three daughters.
