afternoon. Bolts struck at several
points around the prison.
Fay and Knoblock were employed in
the prison as electricians. After the
storm had subsidized a bit, the two went
to the guard at the great gate of the

der their arms and told him they were
to repair electric wires outside the
prison wall which had been struck by
lightning.
The guard questioned the two work
men and finally allowed them to pass
outside. They made good their escape
and had nearly two hours start on the
authorities before they were missed.
