Late in the afternoon they came down from the li Ills, gave themselves them-selves up and were placed in jail. Deputy Marshal A. G Shields, who was a leader in the hunt for the youths wanted, had a strong incentive, incen-tive, aside from his official obligation, obliga-tion, for he knows now how it feels to be a prisoner in the jail where h? had locked up ono of tho men he was seeking. Shortly before midnight Monday, Shields arrested McLaws, who was alleged al-leged to be Intoxicated, on a charge of disturbing the peace, and placed him in the city jail. Green was with McLaws at the time he was placed under arrest. Green protested at the time to no avail against the arrest ar-rest of his friend. The marshal wen! on about his duties. It was only a. little while after mid-ulght, mid-ulght, as Shields was leaving the city hall by the front door, that Green 3hoved a revolver in front of his face, forced him to put up his hands, be disarmed, walk to tho city jail and u'n-lock u'n-lock the door of the cell in which McLaws Mc-Laws was confined. Both men, then ree, locked Shields in tho corridor of the front iail. which onens off the corridor of the city jail, and ran off In the darkness. Shields smashed a chair which was in tho corridor and using a heavy round as a crowbar managed, after ten minutes of hard work, to pry off the lock of the door.

Then he roused othor officers offi-cers and began tho search, whjch continued until Green and McLaws came In and gave themselves up. no |
