Jack Bryan and1.'homas Martin ,
since the 24th of Junc , on the

had filed and opening of about
fifteen inche square which per-
mitteel thcm to leave the cell ,
after which they drilled a bole
through t he brick wall with a
wire handle which thc ) ' had secured -
cured from it coa ] scuttle. By
their own statement thcy had labored -
bored from nine o'clock in the
evening until 5:30 : the next morning -
ing- until the ) ' were able to crawl
through the hole. 1'hey startcd
in a northwest direction but they
had not got outside of the city
until they werc discO\'ercd b
Scott Cooper , the court lwuse
janitor , as Wade camc out of a
field of corn near the house. lIe I
went into the house and telephoned -
phoned SherilT Richardson.
The alarm was gIven and soon
several posse of mcn were started
in search of the fugit \'es. One
party , composed of Ed McCormick -
mick , Hay Gadd and Muinelll
went " 'cst on the railroad track ;
about a half mile where they dis-I
covered foot prints leading into a I
corn field. The party followed : .
and Ray Gadd soon.discovered.
the object of their scarch . laying .
down and called for assIstance.
McCormick respondcd. Upon
being discovered the men laughed
hut Ed placed the shotgun to bis
shoulder and informed them that
it was no laug-bing matter and
that they had better march or
suITer the consequencas. 'l'hey
complied with his request and
were soon afterward again placed
behind the bars.
Several elTorts have been made
to get photos of the trio , as they
arc undoubtedly old-time outlaws
and tough ones , but each attempt -
tempt has failcd until Tuesda.y
afternoon they were taken to
' 1'avlor's studio b ) ' SherifT Hich-
ardson and told that there was to
be 110 more foolishness or they'd
be g-iven a round that would put
thcm in the hospital for six
1I10nths if they did not suhmit.
Seeing the sheriff was in earncst
ther was no further parley and
