Counterfeiter Gordon Escapes County Jail Through Window
W O Gordon, famed for forgery and safe cracking, escaped the county jail Monday evening by sawing through a steel bar in the northwest window while Under Sheriff Moore was at supper. He reportedly crawled through a 64 by 12 inch gap and may have left via the court house corridor with help from other prisoners. Mormon Jack Reynolds, held for rape, appeared to be ready to flee as clothing and a vest were found below the window. Reynolds and Gordon had been closely associated prior weeks.
