A BAzoo representative called at the Jail
this morning and talked with the remain- |
ing prisoners about the escapade. Bliss,
the three card monte man, said some two /
weeks ago, at the dead hour Of night, i
long pole was inserted in the window oppo
site Miller and MOran's cell, and pushed !.
over TO the cell door, and he thinks The
files were tied to that pole. II looks rea-
sonable, and no doubt this is the way that
the escape was successfully accomplished.
