He said a dangerous felon may pry apart ome of the plumbing and use it either to injure himself or attack his jailer. The top of the cell has a welded grate below what was once a small, square skylight through' which two former prisoners have escaped, the Chief said. The bars of the overhead grate were obviously not secure then as they are now, he added.

When seven persons were arrested last January for the reported thefts, police and the District Attorney's office listed as missing or stolen such items as meat, tuna, butter, tape recorders, typewriters and a grand piano. Estimates of losses ranged into the thousands of dollars, one estimate being for $18,000, in the total volume at. the warehouse of $9,500,000.
