FIFTHFUGITIVE
Man Shot and Betaken by
Deputy Turns Out to Be
One Under Sentence.
In the delivery January S from the
El Paso county jail in which the soft
metal wall behind a tier of cells was
cut a tool proof door was found
open and bars on an outer window
were cut and prisoners slid down a
blanket rope five stories to the
ground there were five who success-
fully made their escape and the one
caught in the act was the sixth mem-
ber of the plot. This was proven
Wednesday evening when deputy
sheriff Juan Parra found Julio Lugo
and Benlgno Sanchez together in a
corral on San Jacinto between
Seventh and Eighth streets and ac-
costed them capturing Sanchez after
snooting the fugitive in tne snouiaer.
Lugo escaping. '
Sanchez Fifth Sentenced.
Sanchez was taken back to the
county jail and it was said at the
sheriffs office that he was the fifth
fugitive whose name at the tme of
the escape had not been ascertained
as there had been a number of Mexi-
cans in the same cell tier and It was not
definite as to exactly who the fifth
man who got away was. Sanchez had
been convicted of burglary and wa
awaiting transportation to the peni-
tentiary to serve two years.
At the time of the capture Sanchez
was armed and made attempts to
shoot at the deputy but his gun
would not act. Lugo on the other
h nd. recognized the deonty at once
and escaped through an alley it was
reported.
Parra Earns 950 Rewnrd.
By capturing Sanchez. Parra earned
a $50 reward. The capture of Lugo
would have meant a 575 reward in
addition. This Sanchez is not to be
confused with another Mexican of the
same name who was in the second Jail
delivery plot with Charles Harris this
time the prisoners failing to find thr
hard steel door open and being un-
able to get away.
