iff Pease, of Pairfleld county. with a
force of men, are in this city today,
scouring the towns of Trumbull. Haw-
leyvliie and the entire vicinity from
Bridgeport to Dnnbury, for trace of
two prisoners who last night broke
out of the county jail in the outskirts

of Bridgeport The men, who escap-‘

ed are Alfred Martin, son of e Bridke-
port p ysician, who was to be retells
ed in he, and then taken to New
Haven for the authorities there, and
Frank Carmailna, I who .was, serving .a
three- -year sentence for theft. ,

it was stated that the men tore out
a piece of wall in the Jail made their
way to the root of the boiler room and
gained freedom by a 16. foot drop over
the jail wail outside. They evidently
took advantage of the absence of the
roundsmen. Watchmen floulihan and
Rouscoe, of Soutbport, had just visit-

ed ‘the section where the men Were

held.

Sheriff Pease was confident that
some trace of the lwhereabouts of the
escaped men would be found and
possibly arrests made by night-fall.
