q. 'Tt took three nights to get through
with everything except the automatic
] bolt which locks all the cells. After
! learning that Sam had made as good
progress as l had, we arranged 1t tc
go through the last bolt before mid
night and be ready to make a break
as soon as possible after the mid
night change in the watch. | got to
work on the automatic bolt when the
lights were put out early in the eve
ming, and by 1 o'clock in the morn
ing ! could shift my bolt in good
shape. l tried the door and found
that Il opened easily. After the guard
made the rounds l slipped into the
corridor. A moment later Sam ap-
peared.
I'VE had our plans all laid. l en-
tered his cell. We waited for the
guard to come round again, and as
he passed the door we seized him
from behind, dragged him into the
cell aud put him to sleep with a
crack on the skull with an iron bar.
put on his Official coat and hat, took
his keys, unlocked the door to a store
room and sent in the half-hour signal
to the main Office Sam used the
saws as quickly as possible to go
through the bars on the window,
while made the regular tour Of the
guards corridor.
Il had to go within twenty feet of
another guard. but covered my face
with my handkerchief during an as
sumed fit Of coughing. and ran the
gauntlet In good shape. When Sam
got through the bars / brought two
sheets to him, which he made into a
rope, while i made my last tour.
When l got back to the room ev-
erything was in readiness. We slid
down the rope to the top of the prison
wall. 1t was an easy drop from there
to the ground and we got away. 1t
was a very cold night and we forced
an entrance into clothing store and
got a new outfit. We decided that II
was best for US to go It alone and
make line for New York.
I'VE were fat broke and had to
get money somewhere. We fixed up
bit and tumbled onto a darling
scheme the very first day out. Two
young fellows, as we were passing the
First National bank shortly after 8
O'Clock, came out carrying a bag.
They showed by their manner that
they were on an important mission.
We laid for them for two days, and
found that they came out regularly
each day with the bag. Then we fixed
our play.
I'VE waited for them to appear on
the third day in Trinity church yard,
and when they started up Broadway
We got them before they had gone
block Stepping quickly up behind,
each picked out man and gave him
handful Of red pepper in his eyes.
They dropped the bag like a shot, and
before they had time to yell I picked
1t up and we got lost in the crowd.
1t was safe play to make a break
for the Liberty street ferry with the
bag as II We were going to take a
train on the Central. I unloaded the
bag in the lavatory and got Just $751;
