SEVEN DEAD IN
PRISON MUT|NY
Convicts Pay for Dash to Escape
With their Lives.
FORMER U. S. JUDGE SLAIN.
Girl Telephone Operator Used BY
the Mutineers To Prevent
Guards From Firing
On Them.

McAlester, Okla.-Seven men were
shot to death and three persons were
wounded when three convicts attempt
ed to escape from the State peniten-
tiary and were slain by guards.
One OF the men murdered by the
convicts in their mad dash for liberty
was John R. Thomas, of Muskogee,
formerly United States district Judge
and once Congressman from Illinois.
Despite the commotion caused by
the three men in trying to shoot down
everyone who came in their way, no
general attempt was made by other
convicts to join in the delivery, though
the three mutineers were encouraged
bv their less desperate fellows, who
cheeRd the onslaught of the armed
prisoners.
So rapidly did the three convicts
shoot down those in their path that
they reached the prison gate before
the guards could return their fire.
The desperadoes had taken the keys
from the turnkey, John Martin, whom
they had wounded, and had sheltered
themselves through the prison yard by
holding Mary Foster, a telephone
operator, in front of them until the
only shot fired by the guards in the
yard hit the girl in the leg.
Fought To the Last.
Outside the gate the men seized the
horse and buggy of Warden Dick and
dashed away, only to be shot dead by
pursuing guards. One convict fought
to the last and, while his companions
crouched low and whipped the stolen
horse into gallop. fired his remain
ing cartridge at the oncoming guards,
who poured in a deadly fire from
horseback.
Even after the three escaped men
lay dead in the careening buggy the
frightened horse of the warden dashed
onward until felled by a bullet from
the pursuers.
The Dead and Wounded.
The dead are:
