Sheriff Halts Jail Escape Plot in Frederick County
Sheriff Ingomar W. Albaugh, after a tip, thwarted a jail break planned by five prisoners including George and Maurice Webster at Frederick County Jail. He confronted the would-be escapees as the big door and escape route via a hose were to be used, uncovering steel saws hidden near their window and halting the plan with gun drawn. The Websters denied involvement, but saws were later found and seized, ending the abortive attempt.
