The tiny ne groes, who were awaiting the action of the juvenile court in their cases, evidently tired of the confinement and decided that they didn't want to w'ait for a trial. Accordingly they left. ' It sounds simple enough, but as a matter of Tact, their escape was an amazingly clever bit of work. It would have done credit to the most adept cracksman known to history. The four negroes were confined in a steel cell, and the turnkey on duty this morning said he knows the door 'was securely locked. Later on he found the door swinging idly open, while the occupants of other cells were howling in anger because they were not adept at unlocking jail doors. A hasty search disclosed the fact thdt one of the little negroes had deftly picked the lock of the cell with a shoe buttoner. The buttonor was left as a souvenir. OnCe in the corridor, a piece of iron pipe, secured from the plumbin?!, served to pry up the top board of a set of steps ( the aperture^ loadin.g into the office of the patrol wagon officers. Through this opening the tiny jail breakers crawled, and again using their iron pipe pried their way into the stable. From this place all they had to do was to walk out into the open street, and this they did. A thorough search of the city has failed to discover any of the quar tette of jail breakers.
