1470 - L. Feb. 9:4/3 - The jail break that took place six weeks ago in-
cluded a Mr. Kately, who made good his escape to his home in Youngstown.
He was almost caught there, but managed a successful getaway to Poland,
O., where once more he was nearly arrested, but escaped to Newark, N. J.
This move was his downfall. He ran right into the arms of the law.
W. R. Simmons, a Cleveland deputy, was sent to bring Mr. Kately back.
