When Separated the Doomed Broth- ers Tell Conflicting Stories About the Sawing—Moved to other Cells. Somerset Standard. A report that the Roddy brothers had made an attempt to escape from the Somerset jail created some excitement | here this week. Reports of this kind | never lose anything in circulation, and this one soon grew from a mere prepa- ration to a desperate attempt to escape. The following statement of the affdir covers it fully: The cells in which the Roddy broth- ers have been confined are on the sec- ond floor, west side of the jail. The Roddys have been permitted to use the { corridor along the front of their cells during the day for exercise. Along this corridor are the windows in the at wall, and these are protected by | gratings of heavy iron bars. Last Sunday morning Sheritf Iart- zell walked down to the station for a paper, and when the train from Johns- town arrived, a gentleman told him that the Roddys were planning to escape from the jail, and that some cutting had already been done on the window bars. When the jail he found that a saw had been used on three bars of one of the win- dow gratings; two were cut almost off, and a good start made on the third. The cuts had been carefully filed with black putty to conceal them. The Sher- iff did not let the Roddys know of the discovery he had made,but at once had them moved to cells on the other side of the jail, where they will be kept, without the use of the corridor; until the day of their execution. They now occupy the two cells in which the Nice- ly brothers spent their last day. John Roddy now occupies the cell in which Joe Nicely was confined, and when the Sheriff had locked him in the cell he said : “Say, Sheriff, what does this change mean?” “Why, John,” replied the Sheriff, “you know the time for this unpleasant event is near at hand, and I am simply making such preparation for it a§ my duty demands.” “Sheriff,” said John, “if you find some bars sawed on a window over there, it wasn’t done by us. It was done by a man who was in jail while Jackson was here. Jackson said he would tell on him, but the man said if he did he would s ea- le was cne of th: Berkey mur derers, and—after that Jackson was afraid to say anything.” he was passing the cell in which Jim is coufined; Jim hailed him: “See. here, Sheriff, if you examine over there you’ll find a couple of bars sawed on the far end window, but we didn’t do it. A man in Johnstown gave another man $50 to saw them off.” “Who was the man that did the saw- ing?” asked the Sheriff. “Oh,” replied Jim, “I won’t tell you that.” A boy who was about the jail at the time recalled,’since the present report was started, that during one of the re- cent terms of court he saw a man stand- ing in the jail yard and throwing a small black ball up to the grating of one of the windows of the second story of the jail. To the ball was attached a long string, and while the peculiar per- formance interested the boy, he did not tell of it until now. Those who have heard the story think that to the other end of the string was attached the little saws with which the bar-cutting was done, and in that way they were taken into the jail. The cutting of these’bars may have been done by the Roddy brothers, or by some person for them, or-they may have had no part in it whatever. But ‘there is no doubt that if any opportuni- | ty was offered for their escape they would gladly embrace it. Who in their terrible position would not? Who could blame them for fleeing from the awful death that awaits them? Such an op- portunity, however, will not be afford- ed them. They are now securely lock- ed in cells, and yesterday the County Commissioners put a death watch over them. The appearance of the death watch excited James Roddy’s ire, and he broke forth in a profane tirade, hop- ing that the Almighty would blow Som- erset and its people to h—I. On Tuesday afternoon a sister of the Roddy brothers, accompanied by her husband and another couple, called at the jail to see the Roddys. They were allowed to go into the jail and talk with the doomed men’ through the cell gratings, in the presence of Sheriff Hartzell and Deputy Baker. The con- versation lasted for nearly two hours, and the burden of it was a plea from the visitors to the prisoners to make proper preparations for death. The visitors told them the chances for a commutation of their sentence was on- |lyoreina hundred, and advised them REPRE FOR ESCAPE the Sheriff returned to | The Sheriff walked away, and ‘when to make prparation for the inevitabl: John received the advice kindly, and promised to give it careful consider:- ation. James would give his sister no encouragemeént along that line. She bid him good-bye with tears coursing down her face, but #im showed no sign of emotion. He said, “You'll come you again.” “Well,” said Jim,"if we're hung in here you’ll see that our bodies are taken away and buried; you’ll do that, won’t you?” “Yes,” said the weeping sister, we'll do that.” “Now mind,” added Jim, “that-you don’t fail to do it.” Someone has started the ridiculous report that Sheriff Ilartzell believes the Roddys innocent 2nd that he would rather resign his office than hang them. ter another got out of the ear.

Sheriff HArtzell re- ceived one of these letters about that the Roddys are innocent. Similar letters have since been received by the Roddys’ counsel and the District At- torney.
