ed liberty or death today by
leaping forty-five feet from an

The men were confined In a
cabin near the hospital ward.
They escaped by cutting hole
in the wall, crawling down
chutes to the coal pit and climb

the upper deck. So quietly did
they work that a guard sta

heard nothing of their move
ments. All had arrived here

It is clear that such arts and GER

which has unusual value for pot
