Prisoner Juat Found Guilty of Burg

of Consumptive In I.nat
Stages of Dlaraae.
Tho men In charge of tho county Jail bo
lltvo there Is a carefully devised plan among
some of tho prisoners to escape long
sentences In tho penitentiary by tho old
prison ruse of "soap eating." Tho trick Is
one that has been practiced from time Im
memorial by shrewd Jailbirds on keepers
and custodians holding places of tho kind
for .the first time and consequently 'not
versed In tho ruses of cunning prisoners
It has happened not Infrequently that, at-
tcrneyB, Judges and even physicians are
caught by the deception, and It Is thought
that the prisoners in tho tall, having heard
how easily men wearing tho striped suits
In tho Lincoln penitentiary contrived to
cscapo long, sentences a few years ago by
this means, agreed to try trio same methods,
securing release ono at a tlmo until the
authorities learned they had been duped,
By a few weeks of lnslduous soap eating

will have tho appearance of one in the last
stages of consumption. It Is easy to con
ceal a bar of soap In an out-of-the-way
corner of the cell whore it will be accessible
for an occasional nibble when none of the
keepers aro within sight. Gradually the
complexion of tho soap eator becomes
sallow and bis flesh dwindles away. Then, If
bo affects a hollow cough, only an ex
perienced physician can detect symptoms
that the man Is not a consumptive. When
once a prisoner Ib sent to the hospital for
treatment it Is an easy matter to make his
"got-away," as an escape Is called In the
vernacular of the prison.

John Sorenson, who hid a hearing beforo
Judge Baker Thursday afternoon on the
charge of breaking Into a South Omaha
dwelling with intent to steal, Is believed to
be a "soap eater," Sorensan was caught In

long term In the penitentiary, Shortly
after Sorenson'e admittance to the Jail he
began to grow thin and sickly. When he
was brought Into the court for trial he had
to be carried by tho sheriffs, being hardly
nioro than a skeleton, When io spoke bis
volco was not louder than a whisper and
people a few foet away were unablo to dis
tinguish ,hla words. Thero was considerable
talk about not prosecuting him, but send
ing him to a hospital Instead.
Thon the Jailors recalled a similar In
etanco when Wendover, a man charged with
forgery a few months ago, had exactly tho
same appeal nncc, and when he was sent to
SU Joseph's hospital for treatment ho mado
his escapo through a window. They decided
that Sorenson alao is shaming, and that
somb of tho desperate men In tho Jail have
devised this plan of effecting their release.
Sorenson was found guilty by tho Jury In
spite of his pltable condition, and he was
led back to tho Jail, where precautious will
be taken to keep soap out of his reach.
