Green Casey. a convict at San Quentin,
has won the admiration Of all his fellow
cOnycts at the prison for the novel con-
trivance he has invented in order to make
his escape from the prison walls some time
ago. and through Sheriff Langdon, of Santa
Clara County, the story has leaked out.
Casey was a kind of trusty around the
prison grounds. and while working in one
of the grounds in the vicinity of the prison
he took it into his head that he would IL G
to escape. and was beginning to tax his
mind as to the most advantageous way to
suit his purpose. As he was strolling
around on the green grass which grows in
abundance around the prison an idea
struck him that il he could initiate the
grass by some means he could elude the
watchful sentries and make good his
escape. te.r.
Through the aid OF his convict friends he
procured some pieces of burlap, and with
the aid of some rope made them into a
long coat that would cover him complete
ly when lying on the grass, He then Sc
cured some wheat from the prison stable
and sowed it on the first layer OF his coat
He cast it down carelessly at one end Of
the prison grounds, and watered it daily
In few weeks the grass grew up through
the sack coat. and before great while the
piece of burlaP was conformed into {
grassy lawn.
He was now ready to carry out his plans
and patiently waited an opportunity. AT
last he succeeded in getting his new con-
trivance across to the northwest of the
prison, and in a few minutes was under his
grassy coat.
Slowly he crept along with the cleverness
of a worm. and from all appearances sue
cess was too rapid and very soon he heard
footsteps coming IN his direction. The
moving grass plot. which was slowly max
ing its way up the hillside, soon came to
a sudden standstill as soon as the eye OF a
guard had noticed the grass moving and
came to investigate the. phenomenon. a
kick in the ribs apprised Casey that his
plan had been discovered. The guard took
