tiary last night during a sever thunder
storm and scaled the prison walls and
escaped Bloodhounds Immediately
were put on the trail, but because Of
heavy rain that fell throughout the
night little hope for their capture Is
held out
The convicts obtained saws In some
manner that is a mystery to the prison
officials. All the cells in the tier in
which they were confined lock with a
sliding steel bar and this was cut. They
gained the outside of the cell building
and entered a long unused tunnel that
connected with the power plant. II had
been closed from the outside Friday,
but the convicts dug through six feet
OF concrete and stone, thus reaching
the stockade. A ladder was found in
the tunnel and with the aid Of thi, they
sealed the stockade walls. The CON
victs are William Nebber, life term for
murder from Jasper county, and Thoma,
Finnery, Jackson county, Thomas Nc.
Call, Jasper county, and Harry Morris,
Marion county, each serving n-year
sentences for robbery.
Warden McClung has offered a re-
ward of 500 each for their capture. He
said he believes the escape had been
planned weeks in advance.
