TWO ATTEMPTS TO BREAK JAIL HERE THWARTED AND ERMAN G. MYSTERY MAN
A county jail inmate identified as Gensan attempted two escape plans within a week. He tried to dig through concrete and later planned to heat steel bars by burning rags to weaken the jail cell. Guards observed tools and hole-creating activity, leading to solitary confinement. Jennings, another inmate, had previously nearly broken out in February 1930 by digging through the floor and using a newspaper as a makeshift table. Patrons later identified Gensan as the robber of the Md Agde Inn, and his attorney withdrew, signaling a likely trial in the upcoming term.
