Waybright Caught.
Cutting their way to liberty with
three small saws, smuggled Into the
cell in the soles of their shoes, Frank
Foster and J. A. Austin, serving- out
sentences for vagrancy, escaped from
the city jail late Sundav night. An
unidentified Mexican, who was arrested
Saturday night and docketed under the
rame of John Doe, also escaped, while
John "VVaybrlght. a man addicted to the
drug habit, was caught by members of
the provost guard as he attempted to
leave the corporation courtroom, where
he had climbed from the Jail on the
first floor
Recover Saws; Prisoners Searched.
Investigtaion of the cells on the
lower tier of the Jail then showed that
several bars had been cut and then
bent down sufficiently to permit the
passage of a human body. Waybright
was Drought back and placed in another
cell, while all prisoners in the cell were
transferred to the second floor. The
saws, three in all. were recovered by
acting jailor Gonzales, while all pris
oners in the jail were subjected to a
strict search in an effort to discover!
other tools with which they could
effect an escape.
Provost Guard Overtakes Prisoner.
Waybright. according to his state
ment, was the last man to leave the
cell, and doubtless would have escaped I
but for the vigilance of the provost j
guard, several men of which were
sleeping in the courtroom. The noise :
made when the prisoner's shoes came i
into contact with the steel stairs of the
jail awakened several however, and he
was arrested after a short pursuit.

led to a popular misconception of her as
a "self-made woman." As a matter of
tact she was born rich. In 1S65 she in
herited some $10.6e.08 which accu
mulated upon itself until in SO years
it had multiplied nearly 10 times. She
also inherited family traditions which
had been a pride for three centuries,
and which she was anxious to perpetu
ate in her children.
She was born at New Bedford. Mass.
"in November. 1S34. about the 20th." ac
cording to her testimony at -one time in
court. She was a descendant on her
mother's side of Henry Howland. broth
er of pilgrim John Howland of the Ma -flower
She as sent to a Quaker school
on Cape Cod. and to a seminary In Bos
ton, and got her first lessons in finance
when her aging father entrusted her
with some of hip books.
Wan Once Belle In Society.
She was just 34 years old when ber
father died suddenly, leaving her his
$$... tl.MO.OOO outright and the
income from the other 3S.0M.e60. the
principal to be held in trust for her
children. It Is forgotten that Hetty
Green, then Robinson, was a belle in
New York society According to ber
own stories she "often danced the whole
night through. Even then, however,
she liied in a boarding house and was
so saving that rather than pay cab
bare, she would pull a pair of heavy
woolen stockings over her shoes am?
alk through the snow to parties.
Almost at the same time that her
father died. Ler aunt, Sylvia Ann How
land. passed away, leaving several mil
lion dollars. It is said Hetty Robineon
had been brought up from childhood
to count this money as hers, and that
the aunt expressed the hope that Hetty
would some day become, as she did,
he richest woman In the country.
Controversy Over Will,
The division of the aunt's estate,
however, was not as expected. Three
years after the aunt's death Hetty
Green appeared in the I'nited States
circuit court in Massachusetts with a
IU which she wanted substituted for
the one already rrobated. This will
was in Mrs. Green's own handwriting.
and some of the most famous experts
c; the day declared under oath their
belief that the two signatures it con
tained were not made by the aunt, but
were trace by Hetty Green herself
ever the or:ginal signature of Sylvia
Ann Howland.
The litigation is one of the most
famous in jourt annals. After an ex
pense of J172.OO0, he case was dis
missed on a technicality. An appeal
was made to the supreme court of the
I'nited States, but while this was
rending a private settlement was
reached.
Ylwnys Involved In Suit.
From thoe days to the time of her
'leath Hetty Green was involved In
'ine law suit or other, asserting that
lawyers were forever trying to rob
her of her property. Her antipathy
toward them was so violent that he
said, "I would rather have my daugh
ter burned at the stake than to go
through what I have with lawyers."
Married a Consul General.
She married in 1867. Her husband
was Edward H. Green, who was United
States consul general In Manila, where
re had made a fortune in the silk
trade It is said Green, at a public
enner, heard someone speak of Hetty
Robinson as "the greatest American
heiresx." and straightaway announced
bis determination to marry her. Be
fore the wedding day an agreement
was signed to the effect that the wife's
fortune should never be drawn on to
meet the husband's debts or any of
their joint expenses. He died in 18j2
after having lost most of his money In
Wall street.
ITaccIed Over Special Train.
Both Hetty Green and he did busi
ness there for many years, but on sepa
rate accounts. Old Wall street men
have told innume-able stories about
ber closeness . One was how she ne
gotiated once for a special engine to
take her from Philadelphia to New
York so that she might not mies a,
chance to hake several 'thousand dol
lars before the close of the stock ex
change. A price was named by the
railroad company for an engine and
one car. After haggling a few min
utes. Mrs Green made this final propo
rtion:
must be counted upon, for the enemy
may be short of men. but certainly
does not lack munitions. However, his
guns barely fired one shot for ten from
the allies. Everything had been fore
seen and our plan worked like a
charm."
Second Trencfcen Captured.
The trenches of the second German
position captured hy the French ex
tend from Maricourt, which is in pos
session of the French, as far as the
edge of Assevillers. The village of
Herbecourt. taken by the French, lies
between these two points. Further
south the French made progress to
ward Estrees and Assevillers.
North of the Somme, the Germans
made no attack on the positions pre
viously taken by the French.
The French captured heavy artil
lery and took more prisoners. The
official statement says 39 German bat
talions participated In the fighting and
that 31 of these battalions sustained
Important losses.
During the artillery preparation pre
ceding the inauguration of the offen
sive 13 German captive balloons wer
burned.
Text of Statement.
The text of the statement says:
"North of the Somme. the enemy
Sunday night made no attack upon the
positions conquered by us and which
we are now organizing.
"South of the Somme the fight has
been continued with complete success
for our arms. Sunday evening and
night, we entirely occupied along a
front of more than five kilometers
(three miles) the two lines of trenches
of the second German position, from
the Maricourt wood which is in our
possession as far as the edge of
Assevillers. Between these two points
we took possession, as a result of a
brilliant engagement of the village of
Herbecourt which had been defensively
organized by the enemy.
"Further south we had made progress
in the direction of Assevillers, the
northern and western boundaries nt
which are in our hands.
"North of Estress and between Es-
irees ana Assevillers. our troops have
made perceptible progress.
31 German Battalions Suffer.
"More prisoners and more pieces of
heavy artillery, the counting of which
has not yet been completed, were cap
tured by us during these recent actions;
According to information at hand it has
oeon eetaousnea that more than 39
German battalions participated In the
attack along the French front on July
I According to the statements of pris
oners. 31 of these battalions suffered
very heavy losses and are at present
completely disorganized.
Most Prisoners Very Youngs
"Most of the prisoners taken bv us
July 1, and July 2, are very young" Aa
a result of the questioning of ese
men in our hands it has been learned
that the preparatory fire of our artil
lery was very effective not only in
annihilating offensive organizations but
rendering impossible all lateral com
munication behind the lines nnrt m
preventing the bringing up of pro
visions. At the same time our artillery
fire made it impossible for the enemy
