tho lookup Sunday morning to take
him thence to Lancaster, Ottey had
escaped and another inmate with him.
He had been placed In q cell which is
not very secure, and forced the door open.
Taking short club lying about the corridor,
the clasp of the outer cell was forced OIL and
the other prisoner released. These two men
then attempted to release the third man, but
did not succeed. Once in the corridor they

was effected shows how insecure the borough
lookup now is.
