Jail Breakers Frustrated.

SAGINAW, March 29.--Walter Fisher and Henry Crockell, the two colored men bound over to the circuit court for trial on a charge of burglary and larceny, attempted to escape from their cells by breaking the hinges off the door with a spike used to hold up the hanging bed. One of the men would sing and dance and play upon a mouth organ he had to drown the noise while the other jabbed at the woodwork around the hinges. The janitor, however, discovered what they had done and they were removed to other quarters.
