OGDEN", Sept. 3. -With the exception of information concerning a place that two of tiie men might go for assistance, Sheriff T. A. DeVine announced today that no clews had been obtained concerning concern-ing the whereabouts of the three prisoners prison-ers who broke from the Weber county jail late yesterday afternoon. It is thought that possibly all of the men have left the city by walking during the night, as Sheriff DeVine and his deputies have closely guarded every possible means of escape by train. So far as Sheriff DeVine has been able to ascertain since tlie jail delivery, only several boys wdio were playing at the rear of the county building saw the three prisoners pris-oners leave the building arter digging through a stone wall at till west end of the jail. The boys say the trio ran through an alley leading north from tlie county building to Twenty-third street. At that point one of the men turned east ! on Twenty-third street and tlie other two ; went west toward the railroad yards. Due to the information in possession of both the police and sheriff's force that F. R. Fackler was an expert in making skeleton keys, the officers believe he was the ringleader in the escape of yesterday. When arrested with two others in the act of robbing the Thomas grocery store at 1800 Washington avenue. Fackler was found to be In possession of several skeleton skele-ton keys that had been cleverly fashioned from spoons, horseshoe nails and other articles. Since being confined in the county jail Fackler,. who is not 0 years of age. has been caught in the act of attempting to take impressions of locks with wads of moistened paper. It was because of his youth that Fackler was sentenced to serve six months in the county jail instead in-stead of being sent to the state prison with his two older accomplices. Sheriff DeVine says that Fackler received able assistance in the break yesterday from A. D. Smith, the man awaiting trial for having attempted to enter the residence of H. L. Herrington in (daylight. Frank Procter, who also escaped, was probably the less dangerous of the three. |
