not opened in one minute they would
kill him Gazing in the eye of the no

many had fallen, and seeing that he
meant what he said. Miller felt that Il
was no longer safe 10 pariey and step
ped up to open the combination. These
FIVE men were virtually free for there
was nothing 10 hinder them stepping
through the great front door and esca-
ping, but they desired also To free
their friends in the steel cage and for
this they parleyed and wasted precious

J HELPING THEIR FRIENDS.
; Had they been thwarted in this they
would undoubtedly have killed the
guards out Of revenge and then escap-

Miller got the first combination work
ed they pushed him aside and opening
the box took therefrom a six shooter
belonging TO Kuykendal one of the day
guards. and then ordered Miller 20 open
the other box. When this was done

the prisoners to come out and join then

the bull-pen and took the large front
door key from Tull and invited the thir-
ty-five prisoners still in there 10 come
out end go with them. but all refused
10 go and the pen door was then locked.

fourteen men ran hurriedly down the
front steps and out into the dark. Ev-

night was dark. no electric lights burn
ing and nobody on the streets, and their
flight down the streets was unnOtlced.

was locked securely in a cell. began 10
call for help in tones that could be
heard six squares away.

refused 20 escape with the crowd. went
10 the telephone and gave the alarm.
