JAIL ESCAPE
TRY CHARGED
Nine Files Tossed Over
Wall, Claimed BY
Officials

Frank Keller, AZ, was bound to the
district grand jury In $2y500 bond
here Tuesday when he was given
q preliminary hearing on charges
OF attempting to aid prisoners 20
escape from the Cameron county
Jail.
Keller, said to have studied law
while In q California jail, entered 9
plea OF not guilty and questioned
the witnesses who testified against
him. He was unable to make bond
and was remanded TO jail.
The state alleges that Keller, out
on $3.50 bond on a check charge at
the time, threw a tobacco can con-
tanning nine files over the Jail walls
July 8. A prisoner now held in jail
testified that he saw Keller toss
the tobacco can over the walls This
prisoner further testified that he
told Jailer M. Martin Of seeing KEEL
Ter toss the can.
The jailer testified that he open
ed the can and found that 1t con-
tanned the nine files. He replaced
the can In the yard, and the next
day, he asserted, Tomas Trevino,
who Is appealing from q ten year
sentence On q charge OF murder,
was allowed to 60 into the yard.
Trevino picked up the can and took
It to his cell and later threw 1t out
when he found that 1t did not con-
tain the files. the jailer testified.
Inspection revealed that bars In
the cell OF Treviho and Earl Patter-
son, held on q hot-check charge,
had been almost sawed into. 1t was
testified.
Keller was arrested the following
day by Chief Deputy Sheriff VIII
Cabler and has been in jail since
that time. He was returned here
about two months ago In connection
with a check charge originating al
La Feria.
The prisoner emphatically denies
any knowledge or connection with
the alleged plot break from the jail
Officers say that they have traced
purchase Of the files to a \1n
Benito hardware store and that or
trial they viii attempt TO show
that they we're bought by Keller
and another man who was out or
bond at the time.

TEACHERS GET
FEDERAL PAY
Cameron Instructors Will
Receive So, $50
From Austin


A so, 800 payroll will be distrib-
uted to Cameron county teachers
and school bus drivers as soon as
the checks can be made out at
Austin, according 10 information
received Wednesday by County
Superintendent John r. Barron
from Adam r.. Johnson. state re-
lief director.
There had been considerable
doubt whether this federal aid
for schools unable to finish the
year on their own funds would
be finally approved by Washing
ton and Austin authorities.
The amounts to be distributed
to the school systems for payment
OF hack salaries are as follows:
La Fcria $5,760. Flo Hondo $500,
Santa Rosa sass. E1 Jardin 81 $50,
Santa Maria S1.620. Stuart Place
$3.50, Wilson Tract $l.4e5, Port
EsaDel $3.50. R~angerville $l,17O.
Hardin $50.
These funds wiz be distributed
to approximately l35 employees OF
the various school districts
Every application submitted 70
state authorities vas approved. Cit
les of over 5000 population were not
eligible TO receive this federal aid.
Due to fact that Harry Hopkins,
head Of the federal relief set-up, at
n time completely rejected the
Texas school aid proposition. there
was considerable doubt as TO whe-
ther the aid would be granted. The
information received Wednesday by
Superintendent Barron was the first
definite information that the aid
would be paid.
TIE aid was furnished to schools
which were unable TO finish out a
normal school year on their own
funds

 The declarer could see that he had to take a gamble. so he decid- cd to do 1t, right away. He led a small spade and flnissed the queen, which held the trick.
 The ace of diamonds was cashed next, then the ace of spades. and now the king of hearts was over taken in dummy with the ace. Dummy then proceeded to run or five straight hearta tricks.
 On the first four heart tricks East played two clubs, a diamond, and a spade. The declarer dis- carded thee clubs and spade. West kept his queen ofclubs and the pack and one diamond.
 Now the last heart was led and East was squeezed. He had to hold the king of spades. otherwise de- clarer's nine would be good. so he discarded the seven of diamonds. South therefore discarded the nine of spades.
 At this point West found him. self sqeezed. He could not rec lease the queen of clubs. or dunn. my's ten would be good. so he had to drop the nine of diamonds.
 Of course, now all the declarer had to do was to lead a diamond an win the last tw tricks with the king and ten in his own hand. Copyright 1885. NEA Service. Inc.
