Trusties Given Six Months For Jail Escape In Md Cir Court
Samuel Ewing and Harry Jenkins, trusted inmates, were sentenced to six months in the House of Correction by Associate Judge Patrick M Schnauffer after authorities said they escaped custody. Ewing, a Brunswick resident, and Jenkins, with no fixed address, had been serving drunkenness terms when they left jail. Judge Schnauffer urged deterrence of such acts and stressed prisoners should work to earn board. Jenkins was nabbed next day in Montgomery County while trying to return to Frederick. Ewing fled from the State Police barracks near Frederick and was later arrested in Brunswick. Evidence included Jenkins recent lawn work at the jail and an FBI file listing multiple prior offenses for Ewing.
