Jail Door Key Drawn By Locksmith Fails To Hide Boys Escape
Sheriff William Pullen found Logansport youths George Boose and Clem Ray missing with their jail cell door unlatched. A drawing of the original key and a locksmith visit suggest an escape aided by a pattern. The missing boys, aged sixteen and eighteen, may have been aided by the father who had visited them. The turnkey James Ayers was away at a political meeting. the door was found unlocked. Authorities believe the boys escaped between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. Burrows burglars, aged around sixteen, were later arrested for a separate meat market burglary and face heavy consequences if caught. The younger boy was to be sent to an industrial school if no suitable home could be found by Saturday, but a delay was granted to secure placement.
