STOPPED ESCAPE FROM JAIL

Indiana Sheriff Finds Bars Bent So That Human Body Might Pass. Sullivan, Ind. —An effort at a jail delivery was frustrated the other night by Sheriff Ed Kelley, who found the iron bars of one of the outside windows bent sufficiently to allow a man’s body to pass. A sheet was pinned over the window to conceal the work. Duby Heath and Harry Ramsel, in jail awaiting trial on a charge of automobile theft, are suspected by the sheriff and have been docked in separate cells. The discovery was made soon after the supper hour. A bar used to bend the window bars had been removed from a cell door.
