in TOMDS
WILL Be CH|NKED
Prison to Be Overhauled, Max
ing Further Escapes Be-
You'd Possibility.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4-They are
locking up the Tombs. Not that the
police and the city officers fear that
anybody is going to steal it-not yet
but the next man who gets out of
there except by due process Of law
will certainly earn his freedom.
The escape of Reynolds Frosbrey
on Monday morning has proved sew
eral things to the city administration,
not the least of which is that the
Tombs physically is not proof against
the onslaught of prisoners o~utIourd.
The cell that Frosbrey escaped from
was regarded as M of the strongest
In the prison. But inquiry has re-
vealed conditions which made the
escape of Frosbrey and the escape of
Wilson a month ago easy of accom-
plishment, instead of feats of great
daring and enterprise. as everybody
mas been thinking.
The building, so 1t turns out, has
been badly put together, and the In
terror has been permitted to run
down so that Frosbrey, who was a
journeyman plumber, had no trouble
/ n removing the grating of his cell.
Because of faulty construction, too,
he was able to get through the car
penter's shop and escape to the outer
wall.
1t is also asserted hat there We're
not enough guards at the prison and
that the scarcity of real guards
made necessary the use of TRUSTEES"
who cannot but be expected to SYM
pathize with their less fortunate fell
lows, especially when an opportunity
offers for an escape.
