Foiled Jail Break Tied to Tip From Trusty Worker
Warden foiled a jail break at Woodbury Jail after a prisoner tipped Warren Mayer, with many crude tools found. An earlier note about a missing case knife and a large spoon held up the plan. Thunderstorms and late night work increased efforts to file bars, traced to Earl B. Green arrested in Pitman on robbery charges with $1300 in pawn tickets.
