PRISONERS ESCAPE
ROPE LADDER USED BY TWO CON-
vIcTs, WHO SUCCESSFULLY
ELuDE TIE GUARDS.
After Saving Bars Of Their Cells,
They Escape From Federal
Prison at Leavenworth.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Leavenworth, Kan.-Steel bars, high
walls AMI numerous guards were insult
ficient to keep r. p. Murphy, alias
Richard Osborne, from escaping from
the federal prison. Murphy, with a
companion named Layman, eluded the
guards in the dollhouse after saving
through the bars of their cell, and
crept through window to the main
corridor Of the prison. Opening a door
they entered the prison yard. Here
they used rope ladder 10 feet long
to scale the wall of the administration
building, three stories in height. The
ladder had a hook at one end, which
was thrown over the sill of the win
down above as they climbed from the
roof of the administration building. An
automobile stopped near the prison
shortly before the escape OF the pris-
oners was discovered, and Ii is be-
lieved the men had confederates, who
carried them away in the motor car.
Murphy, or Osborne, was serving a
term of is years for grand larceny in
the District of Columbia. He was for
merly a convict in the Ohio prison at
Columbus He made two previous at
tempts to escape from the prison here.
The last time, a year ago, while a
ball game between convict teams was
in progress. His companion broke a
leg, however, and the men hid in the
Enclosure for two days before found.
Layman was sent here after he had
escaped from McNeill's island, Wash
ington, and was recaptured.
