Borough Lockup Was Not Strong
Enough to Hold Man Who
Assaulted Officer
Herbert L. Lay, the man who
resisted Robert E. DeGrofl, the
officer, when the latter placed him
under arrest yesterday afternoon,
was held to court yesterday in the
sum of $200 bail on the charge of
assault and battery upon an officer
of the law. Lay, who has been
employed as a machinist in the
shops, for the past month, in addi~
tion to striking an officer broke jail
later in the afternoon. He had
been placed in the borough lockup
awaiting a hearing on the charge
of drunkeness and disorderly con-
duct, but not liking the accommo-
dations afforded by the town lock-
up he decided to go up through
the roof, and go up through the
roof he did. While he was break-
ing jail, however, Officer DeGroff
swore out a warrant charging
assault and battery. The warrant
was placed in the hands of Con-
stable Brougham and the latter ar-
rested Lay at the Lehigh Valley
station where he was attempting to
for the company.
Upon being arraigned Lay
pleaded not guilty, but after listen-
ing to the evidence of the prosecu-
tion, he admitted striking the offi
cer and waived further examination
for appearance to court,
Lay claims to have been in the
army service in the Phillipine Is-
lands, and from the manner in
which he acted while in court, it
was evident that he has been there
before. In default of a boadsman
he was taken to the county jail by
Officer Brougham yesterday after
noon.
When Towanda was reached Lay
informed Constable Brougham that
he would escape, but after he had
been manacled he changed his
mind. His case will quite likely
come up before Judge Fanning
some time next week, provided he
will waive the formality of a grand
jury hearing.

DANGEROUS UNDERTAKING
A man considerably under the
influence of liquor, but whose name
is unknown, attempted to board an
eastbound freight train at the sta-
tion this forenoon. He tried to
grab the handles on a freight car
but missed his hold. Fortunately
he did not fall under the wheels.
Detective Johnson witnessed the
act and dragged the man away
from the train just as he was about
to make a second attempt to board
it. Officer Bob DeGroff was called
and the man was taken to the lock-
up and a charge of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct entered op-
posite his name on the police court
record. He will be given a hear:

BEARS FRON RELATIVES
W. S. Wright, the well known
groceryman, has received a letter
from his aunt, Mrs. Sarah Law-
rence, who was a resident of San
Francisco at the time of the great
disaster. Mrs. Lawrence tells a
vivid tale of the scenes of horror
of the first three days following the
fire. She and her family, consisting
of eight members, succeeded in
getting out of the doomed city on
the third day. They went to Ouk-
land. Mr. Wright also has a num
ber of other relatives who were in
the city and all are reported safe.

BOROUGH NEEDS
LOCKUP BADLY
Present One is “Too Easy' for
Prisoners Who Are Wise
The escape of Herbert L. Lay
from the borough lockup yester-
day afternoon is proof positive that
this borough needs a place where
prisoners may be confined with
some assurance that they will be
there when wanted. The manner
in which Lay succeeded in getting
out was simple indeed, and itisa
wonder that others who have been
heretofore confined in the borough
“bug house” had not hit upon the
plan before. Between the cells
cells there is a thin partition, which
a man with ordinary strength can
casily break, and Lay simply
threw himself against this partition
until it gave away. The cell next
to the one in which he was cons
fined was empty, and as is the cus-
tom when there is no one occupy
the cell the door is left unlocked
All Lay had to do when he found
himself in the adjoining cell was
to walk to the outside door of the
lockup, turn the catch on the door
and vamoose. Until repairs are
made there is now no place in
which prisoners may be confined.

INJUNCTION MODIFIED
Judge Fanning yesterday handed
down a decision in the temporary
injunction granted the Wysox
township commissioners restrain
ing the Lehigh Valley railroad
company or its employes from lay
ing a road across the fair ground
near the cast Towanda crossing
and occupying the road. The de-
civion of the judge permits the
Lehigh to continue with the East
Towanda improvements, but there
are certain restrictions imposed
which the company is bound to
obey as long as the injunction is
operative. The company must
maintain a high feace along the
narrow guage road which it pro
poses to build and a watchman
must be kept at that point. All
operations must cease dunng the
