y
Saturday Afternoon.
Six convicts, under sentence from
one to 20 years, escaped from the guard
at the state prison at Joliet, ILL.,, in
the darkness caused by a sudden storm
Saturday. Running from the ranks of
fellow prisoners while the storm was
at its height, and binding sheets OF
water fell, they climbed an eight-foot
board fence surrounding the enclosure
and disappeared in the railroad yards
to the south.
Four of the convicts were recaptured
two hours later, hiding in the woods.
During the afternoon 24O men were at
work in the prison quarry block from
the prison. The storm came up about
4 O'Clock suddenly, and with unusual
severity. The lines were formed for
the march to the prison yard, but be-
fore the men could start it became as
dark as night.
No count was made of the prisoners
until the storm had ceased and the
men assembled in the yard ready to re-
turn to the quarry. Then the count
showed six missing.
