us 60 to the water-oloset. He did so and
we came back in about FIVE minutes. We
got into the cell, and held the door close
with our fingers. No one could see that
we did SO without looking very closely.

that separated us from the female depart
ment. We got in there and went to work
on the wall. We had chisel, a
screw driver, and part of an old shears.
We kept on till about O'clock when we
gave up all hope of breaking the wall. and
returned to our cell. We had taken out
only Three DTlcKS III Jue WnOle Ulme. we
