MT. STERLING, KENTUCKY, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1922 NUMBER G. .-!TTV " t m Llty 1fe V? r y h Lr Hardman and Miller Plan Jail Delivery A Jail dollvery from tho Clark county Jail, thought to have been planned for last Sunday night, was foiled when Chief of Police J. 3. Mul hns and Jailer Carroll Azbll confis cated keys found In the inner cage of tho Clark county jail made from pat terns of tho original keys, It became known yesterday. Some officers are of the opinion that an escape was planned by air plane and cite the tactics of a plane that listlessly and mysteriously hov ered over tho city Friday and Satur day. Proof of the airplane phase of the plot has not been established. Among the prisoners in tho Jail are Scobee Hard man, held without ball, and accused of murdering Leon Ren aker, John Schumaker, sentenced to life imprisonment following his con viction for the murder of his father in Clark county; Harvey Noble, held for tho murder of Green Neace In Breathitt county, and Iko Miller, wealthy Fayette man, principal in many rum enterprises, now serving a sentence lor violation of liquor laws. Scobeo Hardman and Ike Miller, authorities think, are responsible for tho existence of tho patterned keys and planned to escape. A key to cell number five, from -which exit it is possible to leave the jail without passing through the iron grating that faces the city hall, was found in the cage by Chief of Polled J S. Mulltns and Jailer Azbll! on Oct. 20th. The Tcey was of tho hardest steel and was made outside tho Jail. Marks of a vise were visible on It but a file would make but the slight est scratch on the hard surface. Another key uiado from the blade of a knife sent with food from the City Restaurant on North Main street to Scobee Hardman was found Sun day morning In the cage. This, was to have been the key tho prisoners planned to use Sunday night after the first key had been confiscated on Obtocer 20, officers believe. This koy, mado from a knife, sent to Scobee Hardman from the City Restaurant, was made Inside the Jail. Officers believe that certain parties, alleged to have been employed to se cure evidence" to aid in Hardman's acqultal, are Involved In the plot. No prisoner in the Jail has meals brought to him from the City Restaurant er- .cept Hardman. Impressions of the keys were made officers say either by prisoners per mitted in a room on the first floor where the keys are kept, or by per sons who have access to the Jailer's residence. Authorities are on the trail of parties believed to have made the impressions. Ike Miller, who has been housed In ihej.hqpltal wardL frequently uses the long distance tetlephone. On last Friday Scobee Hardman wrote a note to Jailer Azblll request ing to be placed in the hospital ward, alleging that ho was HI. The hospital ward's door is customarily unlocked. The paper on which Hardman wrote the note is. ot the same kind and carries the same watermark as one ot the pieces of paper used to trace the shape of one of tho original keys Authorities are in possession of the impression made by the par- BREAKS DIRT Dirt has been broken for the con struction of the new hotel building, Tho Hotel Montgomery, and from this tlmo on to a rapid completion will bo heard the music of the hammer from the mason; the concrete machinery, and the hammer and saw.

Prewitt, Circuit Judge: Your grand Jury for the present term of this court for final report herein say: That we have been In session sev en days. During our sittings we have encountered many difficulties in mak ing discoveries of the illegal handling of Intoxlcatng liquors. This Is the prime evl of the county and it seems that there Is an epidemic of false swearing growing out of this unlaw ful business. Many bills have been reported for handling liquor as well as some other minor evils and in some few Instances wherein a felony charge has been found necessary all of which are presented in appropriate Indictments, in number 48. We havo examined the various of fices and public buildings and find them well kept, subject, however, we recommend that new linoleum be put upon the floor of the County Clerk's office; that the walls In the hall of the courthouse and. the grand Jury room be repaired. There should bo two ladies' toilets, one up stairs, and one down stairs in the court house. We find the rooms for women In the Jail should be cleaned and calci mined. Wo find that the toilet rooms in tho C. & O. depot are in need of cleaning up and should bo kept in a sanitary condition. We have not in dicted in this instance because we believe this railroad company will see that this is attended to immediately; I it not, however, we recommend that I appropriate steps be taken to have this done. We recommend that all proper steps bo taken to suppress Sunday base ball, and any betting that may be done thereon, and that such steps as may be necessary, bo taken as will suppress all betting and gambling during the fairs or races thereat.
