Pearl Hart, the woman, who, in tht role of stage robber, terrorized the residents res-idents of the great southwestern territory terri-tory last May, was captured and senl to prison, and has since made a darlna escape, is reported as being up to hei old tricks again. Not less daring than the young woman's escape was th work of the man who aided her, for II appears that she had contrived somehow some-how to secure the help of a friend oi former lover as an accomplice in hei jail-breaking plan. She was confined in the prison at Tucson, Ariz. It is t strong affair, with stone walls, bolts bars and locks calculated to hold and foil even the most desperate prisoner But Pearl Hart deliberately planned what seemed to be the most difficult way of escape, through the 18-inch stone wail which separated hei cell from the street. First, by her gentle manners and apparent ap-parent repentance for her lawless law-less ways, she completely disarmed the sheriff in charge of the jail and the guards. They grew to trust her and did not keep her under very rigid sur-veilance. sur-veilance. She was not, however, allowed al-lowed the use of any implements which might aid in her escape, not even a scissors. It is now thought that she secured the aid of a former lover, Tim Pendleton, who has been absent from his hotel at Tucson since the night of the girl bandit's escape. Though he had never visited the girl In jail.lt is believed that he had kept up some kind of communication with her. The Tucson jail juts directly on one side upon a narrow side street without the caution of a jail yard and outer wall, as is usual in most prisons. On the jail's flat roof a guard is placed at night, who is supposed to keep up a constant patrol.

When an opening large enough for the slender woman to crawl through had been made it needed only a careful, watchful glance around and upward by her to make sure the guard was not near, then a leap down into her lover's arms. Then there was a hasty donning of boots and trousers in the darkness and the pair tramped carelessly off with the slouching gait of two cowboys. Pearl Hart's escape was made at 3 o'clock in the morning, and it is thought she was one of a pair of cowboys seen riding out of town shortly short-ly after that hour.

The news that the girl bandit was again at large startled the travelers travel-ers of that region almost as much as the rumor that the late "Apache Kid" or "Billy the Kid" were on a raid would have done a few years ago. Pearl Hart is just the opposite in appearance ap-pearance of what would be expected of a woman stage robber. She is a slender little brunette, less than five feet high, and weighing scarcely 100 pounds. Blue eyes peering from beneath be-neath dark eyelashes seem more apt to caress with their glances than to command com-mand or threaten. She confesses to being 2S years old, but she looks much younger, except when in anger or determination de-termination the hard lines show abou her mouth and eyes. The people of that region of Arizona may well be scared, for a woman who could up a stage coach and "go through" the I passengers, relieving them of $o00 in cash and valuables, and afterwards make such a daring escape from prison, is capable of almost anything, j |
