Sheriff Believes
Wilt May Have Been
Fatally Wounded
Thorough Investigation Fails to
Find Any Clues of Whereabouts

Belief that Leroy Wilt may have
been fatally wounded in his escape
from officials several days ago near
Westernport, following his Jail
break along with William Wilson, was
expressed by Sheriff J, w. Owens,
after d thorough search of various
communities had failed to reveal any
information as to his whereabouts.
All investigation shows that he has
not been seen by any Of his acquaint-
anccs, friends or relatives, since he
was cornered near Westcrnport on
Monday afternoon, February %. An
officer fired several shots at him as
he fled over an cmbankment, and
Owens said one of the shots might
have taken effect. The search how
ever, is continuing.
Wilson was captured the same day
Of the break by James Burton, special
police at the Savage River Dam, and
has since been confined in the "buII
pen IN the county jail.
In the meantime Owens also an
nounced that Chauncey Lowdermilk
and Ebert McCombie, of Friends
vile, 'trusties" at the jail, had con-
fessed that they had secured the hack
saws for Wilson and Wilt, with which
the two had sawed their way to free
dom. Lowdermilk was due to be re-
leased from jail on Wednesday and
McCombie had only a week or two
more TO serve. Both are now locked
in their cells.
They will be charged with aiding
prisoners to escape, for which they
may be sentenced to as much as ten
years, if convicted Owens said.
The two women who were appre-
hcndcd last week for questioning in
regard to smuggling the saws to the
prisoners. have been released

Students of the six high schools in
Garrett county have been assigned
the task of making 100 model air
planes for use by the U, S. Navy and
Civilian Defense Organizations, ac-
cording to F. E Rathbun, county

Government officials are planning
to use the models to instruct Army

well, to recognize the various type of
airplanes by their shapes, Secretary
of the Navy, Frank Knox, has an
nounced.
The scale to which the students will
work is l to 70. In other words one
foot will represent II feet. Planes
built on this scale and placed thirty
five feet from an observer have been
calculated to produce the same out
line as a regular plane a distance Of
half mile
The planes will be built without
landing gears and propelIcrs, and
painted a dull black. Each plane will
be examined by Government inspect
ors, and only accurate scale models
will be accepted.
Eugene Harpold, industrial arts in
structor, Kitzmiller High School, has
received specifications and plans of
the first twenty types to be made
Some Of these will be built at Kitz-
miller, and others will be distributed

lowing a brisk debate.

Westendorf described the pre-
