The mun got Into the cellar of the Jail without the knowledge of the keep- ers and broke a hole in the wall and then burrowed up to the surface of the _ ground just outside the prison wall, The place where the hole was madé in the cellar wall was where the steam pipes run through to the Court-House. The small opening already there made 4 easler for the prisoners to start the work of digging. When the keeners went to release the inmates this morning for breakfast the fileht of the throe men was discovered, Keepers and policemen at once started in all directions after the fugitives, and officials of nearby places were notified to keep a lookout for them, but up to a late hour to-day no trace of then had been discovered. 1 MLemin waa cuarged with larceny and Shan with stealing a sult case contain- ing Jewelry from a drummer.

Tt has been judictally determined by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court that a man usually wears his watch in his vest. The Court does not make it mandatory to wear the time- plece In that garment, but decides that as a matter of custom tle ticker Is al- lowed to repose and patiently beat the seconds just in line with vermiform appendix. provided that useless article of anatomy has not been removed. Of course these little refinements and details do not enter Into the learned Justices’ decision. The case in point involves the loss of a watch, ohain and charm once the property of Tony ‘Wamser. Briefly Mr. Wamser entered a clothing store to purchase a new yeat. He took off the vest he had on. with hig watch still hitched to it, and placed it upon a pile of clothing. This he did om the advice of @ salesman in the store. When Tony Wamser recovered nis ‘vest,’ the Jewelry had vanished. He awed the proprietor of the clothing store to recover the value of watch, chiin and charm, and thus far the cave has got as high as the Appellate Division and is on its way up to the Court of Appeals. The gravamen of the Itigation re- volves about’ the custom of wearing watches In the vest. It is not the unan- Imous opinion of the Appeliate Division that this custom is hidebound. Justices O'Brien and Patterson hold this. opinion, Justices Ingraham and Clarke dissent. ja not eniirely clear why they dis- y do not point out that Ton Wainser might have been in the habit of wearing his watch in his ‘pants’ nor ey suggest he Right have worn It around his neck.
