J., is to have a $5,000,000 Ford plant, to be conducted on the same wage plan as the Detroit plant. £&i.j 7 1 i- One of the most sensational es capes from the local penitentiary oc curred sometime Sunday evening when Prisoner No. 10430 booked under the name of Harry Grotomat and serving a sentence for breaking and entering, opened the doors of his. ccJJ, slipped past the two guardians of the old cell house, made his way through two more sets of doors and hiked over the twenty-five foot wall and to his freedom, says the Gem City. Notwithstanding the precautions that Warden Sanders has taken to make the old cell house burglar proof, the escape .last evening was nothing less than a sort of miracle, considering the fact that so many obstacles, seemingly impassable, loom ed up between .the prisoner and his liberty. No. 10490, although not one of the warden's trusties, was assigned the duties' of Janitor or lumper as they are known at the prison, in the old cell house, where the watchful eves of the guards could be ever upon him. Escape from these quartefs was al most an impossibility. Nevertheless No. 10490 attempted the inevitable and got away with it. The escaped man was locked up with the rest of the prisoners as usual yesterday, an*l all that gave evidence of bis French leave taking was an empty cell and an open cell door, two sets of barri caded doors to the cell house and a thirty foot rope with grappling irons at. the end, which was thrown to the top of the walls and by. means of which the prisoner h,and over hand made his escape to the woods. Today Warden Sanders is install ing an iron bar system over everv three sets of cells in the old cell house as an extra precaution for simi lar attempts. No lock system such as are used on the newer types of prison cells are in force on the old cells. Post cards bearing the photo and Bertilllon measurements of the es caped convict have already been scattered over the states.
