-The sequel of the trial of Wm. WHITMAN last week, who was discharged by the court on his most sacred promise to abstain from the use of intoxicants is peculiar. He was beastly drunk that night, and the next day was driven to BAUMAN's shingle mill, where he had engaged work. Last Sunday Deputy Sheriff CLARK saw peculiar marks on the east wall of the jail, from the opposite side of the street, and called the attention of sheriff STILWELL, and they made an investigation. They found that WHITMAN had made an excavation almost through the wall, so that he could push through at his pleasure. The brick which he had removed were concealed under his bunk and the cavity in the wall, large enough for him to easily pass through, was covered with the back of one of his shirts, pasted on with soap. The hole was in a dark unfrequented corner of the jail, behind the radiator, and the cloth so nearly like the wall, it was hardly noticeable. A warrant was issued for the young man, and the sheriff started for him Monday morning. (25 May 1905)
