The Moxley family's quarters are in
another section of the Jail.
Sheriff Bell said the inner portion
of a double lock on the cell door ap-
parently had been unscrewed and the
catch on the outer half released from
the inside. The pair who attacked
Walker then stole into the corridor
and pounced upon their victim, who
was seated in chair several feet away.
Three iron bars which had been re-
moved from the prisoners beds were
found in the cell by Sergt. Nolte and
Patrolman Hover.
Walker Names O'Brian.
Bell declared after a talk with
Walker at the latter's home that the
warden had named O'Brian as one of
his assailants, but was unable to iden-
tify the second man. O'Brian later
declared his accomplice was Misowich,
the sheriff said.
He said that only two men took part
in the attack on the warden. It was
understood, however, seven other pris-
oners were prepared to follow the lead
ers on their flight for freedom If the
break turned out successfully.
, Among the seven were John Thomas
Dove, colored, of Scotland, Md, and
William H. Parr Of Charlottesville, Va,
who are charged with numbering and
robbing w. F. Ward, IS, a carpenter

tion in Chevy Chase. The Staying
occurred June 7.
The sheriff said there is no statute
providing punishment for an attempt
cd Jail break, but declared he will
confer as soon as possible with States
Attorney James H. Pugh, who is recov-
ering from an appendicitis operation,
regarding the lodging of charges
against O'Brian and Misowich for as
sault with intent to kill.
O'Brian was brought to Rockville a
short time ago from Lorton Reforma-
tory, where he completed four-year
sentence. He is charged here with
theft of household goods and other
articles valued at S337.15 from the
home Of Arthur Shanklin, near Glen
Echo.
Misowich was found prowling around
the parking lot Of the Vernon Motor
Co. at Bethesda early yesterday and
was caught by Patrolman Joseph
Ward after . foot race. He was
charged with HOUSEKEEPING in con-
nection with an attempted robbery at
Martins Restaurant there, police re-
porting his fingerprints were found on
. broken window pane.
The sheriff tonight absolved Walker
Sf any negligence In connection with
the attempted break today and ex-
pressed doubt that it would have been
successful even though Nolte aud Ho-
ver had not put IN their timely ap-
pearance.
He explained Walker had no key to

ing It Is customary to lock the door
