“Sounds like a sealion loose in a sawmill,” he winced. “It sounds like a sawmill all right,” said Deputy William Mooney. The two officers investigated. They charged Robert Chittendon, 37, with attempted escape after they found a large hacksaw blade and other bar-cutting paraphernalia in his cell. He had sawed one cell bar through and another half-way, they said—all under cover of the violinist's arpeggios. Name of the fiddler was withheld.
